FOOTY fans are divided over whether players should wear their names on the backs of their jumpers.
 
It emerged on Thursday evening that the AFL will trial such an innovation during one round of this year's home and away series.
 
The news that names on the backs of jumpers will be trialled triggered plenty of passionate reactions on social media.

Players seem to largely favour the concept, while supporters seemed split down the middle when it came to the question of whether names should be a permanent fixture on guernseys.
