I used to look forward to seeing who gets the classic numbers at the start of a season. Or is it all about squad numbers now? I just find it odd seeing a starting line up with 45, 41, etc. in it. We always talked about players being a great number 8 or a classic number 11 striker ... Or am I just old? Hmmmmmmm yes. But so am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be change without affecting our identity or ruining our history - he hasn't done either of these things yet. We still play in blue and white We have a new badge that is a nod to our heritage We have a new list of numbers that the referee will utilise to manage the game I'm OUTRAGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc1983 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The time to get concerned is when Abdi, Forestieri, Bannan etc. are pulling on different shirts to Wednesday's until then they can wear whatever number they want as long as it's on a Wednesday shirt.

I love seeing grown men be so wound up about squad numbers I couldn't give a crap what numbers they wear, give nuhiu no 1 if you like. It changes nothing to how we play or who plays. But i do love a good owlstalk overreaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gobsmacked that people even raise an eyebrow at this. It just doesn't matter , it's a none issue. Who cares what numbers players have? I know don't.

Change to the badge, change from stripes as he doesn't like them. Guess some are concerned as to what's next and where will it end? Just trying to understand their concern. Think the changes so far have been unnecessary and show a lack of understanding as to the importance of traditions in football clubs. I personally only dislike the changes because I think they've been badly done, hate the badge and kit. Think they're awful and just wrong, but that's just my taste. Then again,I get worked up whenever I dislike a kit design so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Tradition is nice and fluffy. And it makes people warm and fuzzy inside. But tradition doesn't win you games, it doesn't buy the Forestieri's and the Almen Abdi's. It won't get us to the premier league. Dont get me wrong, I know some traditions are important and shouldn't be messed with. But I don't see squad numbers as an important tradition. I don't think DC should make changes to our identify, our name and colours. Or anything that makes us Sheffield Wednesday. He hasn't done any of those things like the idiot at Cardiff did. I have no reasons to think he will either. People need to chill out and accept that some change is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 We all know the changes aren't gonna stop. Next it will be the ground, then the club name, then finally we'll up sticks altogether and move.

I'd also suggest if you're not keen on reading other people's differing opinions or "moaning and whinging" on these things, you're probably in the wrong place.

And then tell me I talk twaddle... How important in the great scheme of thing are squad numbers? isn't it more important that the club is known for it's exhilarating football and fantastic support as a family club instead of the disaster...because that what CC is trying to do...if you are really struggling with that mate I'm truly baffled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very keen on reading people opinions, the shirt debate was worthy of a thread and people getting upset but changing numbers is again a non issue.
