When the NFL reportedly banned players from wearing hoodies underneath their jerseys last week, only one player really felt the full effect of that rule change: receiver James Jones, formerly of the Packers and currently a free agent, who debuted the hoodie last season in an effort to stay warm.

Speaking with ESPN Milwaukee (540-AM) on Friday, Jones expressed displeasure with the new rule, saying the NFL has more important issues to fix. Still, Jones won't fight the ruling.

The hoodie is retired.

According to Packers News, Jones said quote-"It was strictly just to stay warm, but it became a little good-luck charm and it wasn't harming anybody," "If it's because the hoodie covers the name, like they say ... you know, there's a bunch of guys in the National Football League that have got long hair and (it) covers their name. So I don't know the real reason, but (Commissioner) Roger Goodell and them, (maybe) they do it for safety reasons. I'm not mad, but I am kind of angry that they attacked the hoodie."

Adding quote -"We've got bigger and better things in our league that need to be fixed. But at the same time, you've got to respect it. I've never gone against any rules so it's not like I'm going to run out there with a hoodie and take the fine. I've got babies to feed. So the hoodie is officially retired."

After getting cut by the Giants on the eve of the 2015 season, Jones responded by catching 50 passes for 890 yards, and eight touchdowns in his return to Green Bay.
