88 in Chinese (all Chinese dialects), means MONEY MONEY!!

Chinese families would actually love to have 88 for a house number or just to be affiliated with it one way or another.

I could really care less if they don't allow the number to be used on clothing, as long as it is clearly meant to be racist. If the number is used for legitimte purposes (ie jersey #) it should be allowed.
