[Archived] Shirt Numbers

[philo]

any one know this years shirt numbers ????????????

[philipl]

Probably start at 1 and go up to something like 36 with a few gaps here and there.

[Hi Mack]

They played in 1-11 today so gues there not out yet!

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Whatever the numbers - hopefully not in black - did anyone else find them difficult to pick up on the back of the shirts ?

they are in black for this season-bad i know!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

It's terrible, we had real difficulty seeing which numbers were on peoples backs when the blue met the black.

God help us when they put names on.

[brian_gallagher85]

Although this could be a masterstroke by JW and co in an attempt to reduce the amount of cards we pick up. Might mean the refs give up as they can't see the names and numbers clearly

[philipl]

conversely if Sky complain we will end up wearing a monotone bib on the back like w3e have to in Europe.

Bad move switching from red.

[grizfoot]

I'm guessing the numbers will be pretty much the same as last years. With Robinson taking the #1 jersey and Villanueva #11.

Shirt numbers ready

They are saving number 11 for Andrews....

[Majiball]

17 for Andrews, 11 for the mystery player.

[roverich]

Being optimistic it's encouraging that 11 is unattached, indicating that the search for a new winger is not over.

[DeadlyDirk]

It's got to be fair to say that 11 is being saved for a big name player, or at least a first team player. A little surprised Villanueva didn't get it, perhaps he's always worn 19? No idea. If Andrews does sign then yes 17 would probably be for him.

Has Jason Roberts always worn 30 in his career other than while being at Blackburn? Certainly wouldn't be my choice of number.

23 has always been my lucky number and one of my personal favourites, just to excite you all that is what Fowler used to wear at Liverpool back in the day so that could be an indication that he will be given a contract....

Let the hate begin!

[Rover down South]

I expect Bentley asked Rovers to retire the #11 shirt in his honour!!

[my_name_is_Earl]

What number was Reid last season, I cant remember off the top of my head? I suspect Villanueva has been given the no.19 to take some expectation off him which sounds stupid but can be true

Reid was 14 IIRC

[rover6]

Good luck finding a club, Bryan Hodge!

[Drakefyre]

17 is/was Rigters

[Karembeu]

Surprise to see Dunn get 8. Hope he can recover the form where is first left off.... Then this season we won't have to worry.

[Blue blood]

Dunn and the number 8 seems logical given that he's been made vice captain. He's obviously going to be a big part of Ince's plans.

Tugay retaining the number 5 seems a wee bit unusual, probably sentimental reasons, can't see him being a first teamer.

Not sure what the point was in reid and vogel swapping numbers, encouraging to see Judge get a squad number, and can see why the chillian lad was given the number 19 shirt. Nice to see a couple of gaps too, indicating that we may well be bringing in a few new faces.

[brfc_jonesy]

Does this mean we can finally get the bloody things on the back out our shirts on onerovers.co.uk now?

[Jan]

The world is to rights again. Dunny has the number 8 shirt he used to have.

[American]

I guess Dunn 8 will be the cheapest shirt?

[b12_simon]

Cheapskate. You should get Villanueva or Kishanishvili(sp?) to maximise revenue for the club
