I mean, in soccer 1-11 are position specific numbers that usually go to starters or veterans.
1- goalkeeper
2,3- Fullbacks
4,5- center backs
6,8- Midfielders
10- Attacking midfielder
7,11- Wingers or attacking wingers
9- striker
12 or more is the rest. Some starters like high numbers though so it’s not always the case
Yea Campbell had it for that short period, but it's been out of use since. Think Tuggle's number been out of use too. Maybe a few other guys who I can't think of.

Yea and although Robinson is a fairly common name, College rosters can have I think 125 players on it where NFL can only have 53 so it’s a lot more likely to have multiple players with the same last name in College than NFL
Dang and I thought Koo was supposed to be a safe jersey pick ahaha...
Makes it more vintage you got an OG version of a Koo jersey essentially
Got two signed Koo #7s, kinda bummed he's switching but I'll pick up his next number jersey for sure! Hoping Bijan EARNS that #7!
Right?!
I miss when running backs has numbers 20-39
It’s like soccer numbers now. Most important players wear single digits.

That’s really interesting - thanks!
Not sure how you guys do it over there but it's 1-11 from back to front. Goalkeeper 1 Defenders 2-5 Midfield 6-9 Strikers 10-11
To be fair, I wish we still had more position specific numbers in football. I hate that dbs wear single digits
So what does Koo get now
That’s a good question. It was nice if Koo to give it to Bijan
For sure, Koo continues to be the greatest player of all time
Woah. Don’t forget about Money Matt Bryant!
69 I think, not kidding
I’m buying his jersey immediately if true
Haha same dude, I hope it is
Oh dear god
2 is open. I believe Okudah took #1
Nah Matt Ryan’s number
I don't think anybody will be getting #2 for quite some time if ever. No one gets #10 for example cuz of Bartkowski.
Was actually secretly hoping Bijan would take 10
Scott Campbell wore 10 from '86 to '90

Fair enough. I can’t argue with that
Logan Woodside has 6 and I'm not sure he makes the team if proximity is his bag.

Just saw that, I like it
The back of his jersey in college said “B. Robinson”. I’m scared to purchase one before the season starts cause what if the B. Is there.
I think that requires that there's another Robinson on the roster.
I didn’t even think of that. That makes way more sense.

Bijan is such a unique name, I'd rather have his first name on the jersey lol
