NFL use

I am having trouble using/converting the roster for NFL rosters as far as having the team colors appear when I input the hex color codes. Any ideas? Comedian1018 (talk) 00:12, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redshirt icon vs "R" in class

In the documentation for the |rs=y parameter it says: "Note that this icon should not be used to identify that a player has already completed a redshirt year, which should be done by prepending an 'R' to their class". What is the difference? When do I use the icon as opposed to listing an athlete as RFR, RSO, etc.? Brad (talk) 02:53, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support for historic one-platoon elevens?

This template currently seems to require |offensive_players=, |defensive_players=, and |special_teams_players=.

Prior to the implementation of the Two-platoon system, eleven players played both sides of the ball in the one-platoon system. There was no concept of separate offensive, defensive, and special teams players.

Is there a way to use |players= to display a one-platoon team? How is this handled in historic team articles?
