Don’t players have to pay or something when they change jersey numbers so fans can trade in their old number jerseys for the new one?

u/SynchronicStudio 2d ago

It has nothing to do with the fans. The nfl only cares about their left over stock, which is what the players have to pay for. They don’t care about the fans at all lol

He and Rake cooked with the 6 9 simul change. I need to see Rake getting healthy and starter time across the field from, um shit all the Arnold nicknames were related to his number, no more Sub Zero.

As a Gibbs jersey owner I’m gonna try to take the positive side here to show that I’m an OG Gibbs fan from the beginning and if he prefers number 0 I’m in support and I hope he has great success in that number as well.

RIP if you pulled the trigger on a jersey. Usually it's cause our RBs are injured or just not great and cut, so at least there's that

u/socomeyeballs 3d ago

Imagine he has a hall of fame career and these jerseys are in short supply. Either way as long as Gibbs is good I am happy.

Cries in Kerryon Johnson 🥲

u/brendan270 2d ago

Counterpoint, Gibbs goes down as an all-time great and you have the 26 jersey. Going to be much more of a collectors item than 0 in a few decades.

1

u/ClassroomMother8062 VILLAIN • Shiela & Brad & Dan & Kelvin & John • 2d ago

I've heard this one before, personally I think the number they achieved the most in during their career is the most valuable. But I'm not a memorabilia dealer.

u/Echo7bravo 2d ago

You made 26 cool. Now you can make zero cool!

u/Next-Negotiation-275 2d ago

Hell, I thought he was going to change his # last year.... But when he didn't, I figured he was going to keep it! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ And I thought Jamo would change his 2 years ago.... 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Taurus4Lions 2d ago

NFLShop hasn't got the memo yet.

u/WatercressCertain616 2d ago

26 was perfect. I will obviously support Gibbs/Lions but my goodness 0 shouldn't even be an option. Doesn't look good.

1

u/shalvar_kordi I wanna die 1d ago

I liked 0 in basketball before it became so common. In football it doesn't look good except maybe for a WR.

u/WatercressCertain616 1d ago

WR #0 getting 0 passes lol

u/Several_Sherbert_739 2d ago

There's only 1 Gibbs in the NFL. It really doesn't matter. Let's Go!!!

u/No_Nefariousness6301 2d ago

Me too .. Fav player on the lions but I was never buyin the jersey tht had the 2..6. .. just looked dirty to me lol

u/Jammer_Kenneth Old text 3d ago

Picture makes me think he associates 26 with bad losses, the 9ers fumble, doing his best vs Washington but still getting lapped, change is good.

u/jivy723 3d ago

I think you’re digging a little deep. I didn’t see that at all lol

u/jguacmann1 Sewell 3d ago

Didn’t….didn’t he pick the number?

1

u/joemoneybaby 3d ago

Not always, no. There are a lot of players and only 100 choices obviously. Clearly that was not his first choice for jersey number so I’m just glad he gets what he wants. Sonic bout to be going supersonic

u/ClassroomMother8062 VILLAIN • Shiela & Brad & Dan & Kelvin & John • 3d ago

He wore 1, 1, and 21 at Alabama and GT. I think he likes single digits better.
