Ligue 1 Get Rid Off Controversial Shirt Numbers Rule
Update: Ligue's uncommon number rule is history. Players are now free to choose any number between 1-99 (only the No. 1 is reserved for keepers). Previously, players had to wear a number between 1-30 (1, 12, and 30 reserved for keepers), with the exception of special permits and some rare cases like all numbers already occupied.
PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma took the chance and switched to the No. 99 shirt.
Meanwhile, Lacazette is wearing the No. 91 shirt in pre-season but reportedly wants to get the No. 10 shirt.
27 May 2022: Just a year ago there was a lot of speculation about which number Gianluigi Donnarumma would wear following his transfer to PSG - whereas he previously donned number 99 at Milan, this was not possible due to the restrictive numbering rules in Ligue 1 and the Italian ended up settling for number 50 in the end.
This will totally change next season: As reported by Footpack, Ligue 1 announced that the old number rules are being dropped next season. Starting with the 22-23 season, all Ligue 1 players will be allowed to freely choose any number from two to 99, with only number one being reserved for goalkeepers.
We think it's likely that Donnarumma will take advantage from the new rules and switch to his favorite 99. It will be very interesting to see who else will follow suit over the coming months.
🔢 Une modification @LFPfr portant sur les numéros des maillots des joueurs sera apportée à compter de la saison 2022-23, une numérotation des maillots avec des nombres entiers de 1 à 99 est autorisée, étant entendu que le numéro 1 est exclusivement réservé aux gardiens. pic.twitter.com/5k1ZxzQetw

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
