Willian Takes Over Hazard's No. 10 Shirt At Chelsea - Pulisic To Get Old Willian Number?
Jul 22, 2019, by Chris
During an interview with Brazilian TV show Desimpedidos, Willian has revealed he’ll wear a new number at Chelsea this season.
Willian Becomes Chelsea's New No. 10, Pulisic Number Not Known Yet
Last season, Willian wore the #22 shirt at Stamford Bridge. However, because of Eden Hazard’s move from the Blues to Real Madrid this summer, the Belgian’s No. 10 shirt became available. Willian has now confirmed he’s been offered the number 10 jersey, and he’s taking it.
For the record, Willian wore the Brazil #10 shirt at the recent Copa America. Willian also has worn the No. 10 shirt at Shakhtar Donetsk and Anzhi Makhachkala before joining Chelsea FC.
Another question that remains is Pulisic’s shirt number. Pulisic wore the #24 shirt in Chelsea's first friendly, but Chelsea have previously confirmed that Pulisic’s #24 shirt isn’t fixed.
It is will possible that the American will inherit Willian’s #22 - here wore the #22 shirt for BVB.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
