Musiala to Get New Shirt Number?
Oct 9, 2024, by Chris
- Musiala's Current Number: Jamal Musiala currently wears the number 42 for Bayern Munich, but this could change.
- Number 10 Possibility: Musiala could potentially take the number 10 jersey, currently worn by Leroy Sané, if Sané departs.
- National Team Number: Musiala already wears the number 10 for the German national team.
Jamal Musiala, currently wearing the number 42 for Bayern Munich, could be in line for a new shirt number as part of ongoing contract negotiations with the club. Musiala has been wearing the number 42 kit since his debut for Bayern as a youth player and did so until today.
Potential Musiala Number Change in Talks Amid Contract Discussions
Musiala has been wearing the number 42 since making his debut for the first team.
The best-fitting number for the young star would be the iconic number 10, a jersey often associated with top playmakers—a role Musiala has increasingly embodied. However, this number is currently worn by Leroy Sané, whose contract with Bayern runs until summer 2025. With Sané's future uncertain, the possibility of Musiala taking over the number 10 jersey could become a reality.

For now, Bayern has no appealing lower numbers available, meaning any potential switch may depend on future developments. Interestingly, Musiala already wears the number 10 for the German national team since March 2024, having previously worn 14.
Back in 2020, FC Bayern Munich provided two players with better shirt numbers - Gnabry and Kimmich.
Other Bayern players with very high shirt numbers are Josip Stanišić (number 44) and Aleksandar Pavlović (number 45). It seems well possible that these two will switch shirt numbers once better numbers become available.
Should Bayern reserve the number 10 for Musiala if Sané departs in 2025? Should Musiala continue to wear the number 42? Let us know in the comments below.
No More Mizuno: Reebok Hansa Rostock 26-27 Third Kit Released
German 3. Liga club FC Hansa Rostock and new technical sponsor Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Completing the club's kit set alongside the previously launched home and away shirts, the release marks another custom design from Reebok in their debut campaign as Hansa's official supplier after taking over from Mizuno.
The Reebok Hansa Rostock 26-27 third shirt reinterprets a classic design from the club's archive, taking direct inspiration from the away jersey worn during the 1999-00 season. It features a sleek black base on the front and back, complemented by vibrant red sleeves that highlight Reebok's signature vector branding. A traditional polo collar tops off the vintage look, paying homage to an era defined by club figures like Timo Lange, Magnus Arvidsson, Victor Agali, and Steffen Baumgart.
Crafted from modern performance fabrics with a contemporary athletic fit, the jersey blends nostalgic late-90s styling with up-to-date sportswear technology. The new Hansa Rostock 26-27 third kit is available now via the club's official online store and physical retail locations.
