Player Names

Another thing you guys might want to consider when creating name databases is to restrict the surnames to 10 letters or less. I noticed a while ago that names on the player jerseys are truncated at 10 letters -- Jeanbaptise was JEANBAPTIS on the jersey.

That would be the "JerseyName" length. The surname could still be as many letters as it allows. However, is it true that all last names are truncated to 10 letters? And, if it IS true, should I make my editor only allow up to 10 letters in the Jersey Name text box?

Thanks for taking the time to create the name data base. I am about to give it a try.
