The visual at St James' Park tonight will be a bit different to 28 years and one day ago. Though back then, Barcelona had striped shorts, so swings and roundabouts

Ronaldo has turned 49 today

The two numbers making up his birthday were especially apposite in 1996, when he wore 18 as Brazil finished third at the Olympics and then he joined Barcelona and was given 9

Today's date represents the pair of record signings that helped Blackburn Rovers to win the Premier League in 1994-95

Liverpool are set to wear the new third kit at Burnley today, with green shorts

Will we see Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak together for the first time?

Number 7 playing off 9 certainly has a strong heritage, as outlined by @simonjtreanor.bsky.social's series: museumofjerseys.com/category/liv...

It's Thomas Müller's birthday, but the date works ideally for his namesake Gerd

Like Thomas, Gerd mainly wore 13 at major tournaments while he was Bayern Munich's number 9

This is the first time that Arsenal have released consecutive home kits with red first-choice socks the last two of the first adidas era, which ended in 1994

For the first time since 1991-92, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have the same kit manufacturer

Tomorrow's quiz will focus on pairs of players who have been team-mates at more than one club

Trent Alexander-Arnold is not the first former Liverpool full-back to have his forename on the back of his shirt at an Iberian club

Steve Harkness also did so when he was part of Graeme Souness's British revolution at Benfica in the late 1990s

Kieran Tierney is back in the Celtic number 63 shirt, which he wore for five years before his departure for Arsenal in 2019

If we're being charitable, we could say it represents how he often plays left centre-back in a three for Scotland (wearing 6) and left-back at club level

All-Nike affair at the French Open as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz meet in a men's singles grand slam final for the first time

Arsenal had previously announced that goalkeeper David Raya would be moving to 1, with Ethan Nwaneri swapping 53 for the 22 that the goalkeeper had vacated

The new squad numbers for 2025-26 thread

Chelsea's new signing Liam Delap has taken the number 9 that has been vacant since Romelu Lukaku's departure while Cole Palmer is dropping down from 20 to 10

The Champions, 1956-2025

A new name added to the roll of honour

With Tottenham Hotspur designated as the home team for the Europa League final, they will be in their usual continental look of white shorts while Manchester United will be in red-black-black
May 19, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Making things look Eze - those #cpfc white socks have surely gained legendary status now

Arsenal first strip, 2025-26
May 15, 2025 at 10:36 PM
Today's date can be represented by the Bayern Munich back three for the 2001 Champions League final against Valencia

This was one of the easier winners for @jimhearson.bsky.social to #1to11ify in his series

Another example of 3 and 5 chicanery came at Chelsea prior to 2014-15

When Kurt Zouma signed, he was initially given 3 with left-back Filipe Luis 5 but clearly somebody had mixed felines about that and they swapped before the season began

Happy Abelardo Fernández Day

While he wore 5 for Spain at the World Cup in 1994, the summer he joined Barcelona, such was the demand for 5 there that he had to bide his time before claiming it

On this day in 2004, a Thierry Henry hat-trick against Liverpool helped to maintain Arsenal's unbeaten PL record.

It was the first time these 11 players started a game together - the only other occasion would be the 38th league match against Leicester City

Tottenham Hotspur, 2007-08

The halved strip was for the club's 125th anniversary, worn just once - a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa, where Tottenham came from 4-1 down

@tim-stillman.bsky.social Hi Tim - fellow over-reader into shirt numbers here, just read your Sterling column and what’s odd is that the initial press release said he would be 10 but it was quickly changed. Shades of Gallas being announced as 3 in 2006
