[Albion] Squad Numbers

[levs]

Bit unfair on anyone with a copy of his old shirt. Personally I would tell players to keep their squad number until they leave. It doesn’t make them play any better.

Strange take that is, players have been changing squad numbers since they became a thing. Players are a superstitious bunch and some of them will believe it does affects their performance, which is doubtful but mental psychology is a significant factor.

People who bought his shirt with the old number shouldn't really be of consideration, by that logic teams should never sell players because a few have got a shirt with their name on it. People shouldn't buy shirts with payers names and numbers on without an expectation that it could change and then shirt becomes a bit outdated

Yeah, can't expect players to keep numbers forever.

Some pushback expected here though given the changes are happening well after the transfer deadline and after the 24/25 squad numbers have been 'confirmed'!

Chelsea have done similar with a couple of players, and are paying for all shirts to be replaced. I assume the Albion is doing the same...

Are Chelsea into triple digits this year?

I'd expect anyone who purchased a 2024/25 shirt, with 'Adingra 24' on it after the first match of the season, to be entitled to a replacement. I doubt that runs to very many units, to be honest.

Not after the season has started in my view, but it appears football manager has lied to me. Of course change it season by season, but changing numbers mid-season, WOKE NONSENSE, if you ask me.

Would like to see the figures now actually.

We - whisper it - might have more players now....

Ferdi should be fine:

The moment you see the 24 angel number, you should be happy. This number comes to you as one of encouragement and hope. Your guardian angel uses this number to reveal to you that the time has come for you to pursue your dreams. Twenty-four will start appearing to you the moment a project you are involved in is about to take off.

Try saying that while standing on a milk crate in Abidjan town centre.

O'Riley appears to have switched from 25 to 33 if the online shop is correct too.

I'll personally offer replacements to all of the people in Abidjan, who have bought genuine official Brighton shirts, printed with 'Adingra 24', between the date the squad numbers were officially announced, and today.

Poor!

For Ferdi? Presumably he could have asked for 12, 13, 16, or 19.

Can't speak for Chelsea, but Albion have 72 professionals on the books right now.

The club are very good with this stuff. They will definitely replace any shirts with an old number bought within a reasonable period of time before the change.

A friend of mine had a similar situation with a Cucurella shirt for his kid bought a few weeks before he was sold, they replaced it no fuss no muss.

The customer service generally at the club is superb in my opinion.

A quick Google search suggests September 13

Did you think about whether that could possibly be correct before posting?

Adingra has moved to.number 11 today. (September 13)
