| Id have no problem with retiring shirts. don't care even slightly what number a player wears. Its one of the things RL insists on that most sports don't really care about, and its where we miss out somewhat in terms of branding.
Saying that, there is a limit to how it can be used that aren't apparent in US club sports where they generally go through a lot more players anyway. If we are doing 10 and 13 for Sinfield and Peacock, pretty soon we will be struggling to find numbers not retired. Especially with the amount of legends retiring over the next few years.
Personally I think we should look outside of headingley and find a way to get our legends names dotted throughout the city. Whether its buildings or plaques or some brilliant idea someone smarter than me thinks of it would be nice to honour them outside the RL bubble.
Sinfield though is something special, first captain to take us to championship since methuselah was a lad, most successful, came in at 16 and played his whole RL career here, captained Leeds, captained England, won at least one of every medal he could have, and handled himself eloquently and brilliantly throughout his career. The legacy he created still has a use for us as a idol and an aim for every young player who comes through our system. So, I would vote for instead of retiring Sinfield's shirt, we use it. U19's player of the year wears the first team 13 the next year presented to him first game of the season, with Sinfields stats stitched in. The best young player we have, in the year he makes the step up, gets Sinfields shirt number as a marker of what is not only expected of him but of the potential available to him.

IIRC Rob Burrow has his name on the side of one of First's newer range of buses. They've named each one of them after people with connections to the city such as Liz Dawn for example.

It certainly doesn't, I'll give you that.
