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.
Leroy Sané occupies the number 10 kit currently
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.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.

The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front.

All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
