Stingray 9,441 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't get the fuss about the shirt numbers. I'd understand if it had something to do with marketability (like Ballack and the #13) but in this case there is none of that. The 14 was not even Kevin's number, he only wore it during preseason here. He'd be very silly to make a big deal out of it.Yep .... I think he wore 6 in WB and 11 in the NT.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yep .... I think he wore 6 in WB and 11 in the NT.Exactly, he has no reason to make big deal of this and I'm sure he won't. He seems like a very nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atholy 1,293 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I doubt it's a big deal at all. KDB only wore it for pre-season and he has no attachment to that number from previous clubs (unless I'm wrong). KDB probably wants Romeu's 6 or Malouda's 15.I don't get the fuss about the shirt numbers. I'd understand if it had something to do with marketability (like Ballack and the #13) but in this case there is none of that. The 14 was not even Kevin's number, he only wore it during preseason here. He'd be very silly to make a big deal out of it. 14 was his kit number at Genk. Also his Instagram nickname is #kalle14.I think he's more attached to that number than everyone thinks here! Do some research boys Bir_CFC, Term-X, Stingray and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I don't think he's losing any sleep over it. Let him have the 6, worked for him in Bremen.. TorontoChelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some research boys well then he must have been promised 6 otherwise i doubt the club would have taken his number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some research boys Still it's not like he has played in this number for years here at Chelsea and it has become associated with him. He's just arrived here, he can have a different number and come to be synonymous with it.I'm sure they wouldn't be selling shirts if it wasn't his number:http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stores/chelsea/products/product_browse.aspx?free_text=de%20bruyneTechnically he doesn't have a number: http://www.chelseafc.com/first-team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to him not having a number now, none of the loaned players do IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him in Jan where he went straight back on loan then he joined us for preseason only where he used the the number 14 shirt but t was never his. Just like the number RLC used in the post season matches is not his. Peace. and TorontoChelsea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Give KdB number 6! That number would suit him like it did in Bremen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the number RLC used in the post season matches is not his. I know. Why does anyone care about this at all??? He wore a number in a couple of pre-season games and now he'll have a different number. So what? Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to sell shirts and Kevin has a lot of hype around him which makes a lot of people want to buy a shirt with his name on the back. It would marketing idiocy to not sell shirts with his name on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would marketing idiocy to not sell shirts with his name on the back. Completely missing the point. He joined the club and was given the number 14 shirt, which consequently was made official by the club selling his shirts with that specific number on the store. He then left on loan and the number was vacated. If he was never the number 14 then why did they sell his shirts with that number and not a different number.
