Editing Player Icons

Can someone suggest a course of action (HEX location / command strategy) for removing the Player Icons "1" and "2" on the Defensive side of the ball during in-game play? Are the different sides of the ball and where the icon is lined up denoted separately in the HEX? I figure if you use the skin color palette option of the four color options to redraw a football (which I've done) in place of the "1" and "2" above the heads of the Offensive players only, it would add a nice little player icon dynamic. The problem is removing the "1" and "2" from over the Defensive side of the ball. Since the rosters are separated I would assume this possible, but could be totally incorrect, where there is no way to "00-out" the tile pointers to the "1" and "2" in differentiating from either side of the game.

Anybody have a fix for this?

Mucho thanks.

The icons aren't separated by offense and defense. I haven't gotten to test this out yet beyond a few plays so I'll do that when I have the chance but this seemed to be working.

x3DBFC and x3DC47 = Icon Height above player (x0C worked ok)

it creates an 'active player' icon above whoever has current or last possession of the ball, on offense and or defense. the usual player icons are gone.
