Redtucks Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Who on earth thought it was a good idea to have white numbers on the white Arsenal shirts???? They may even have names on their shirts and white numbers on their white shorts as well, but who knows!!!

The object of numbers is to identify the players. If you're going to have them the same colour, why bother at all??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because it gets people asking why which leads to an explanation and publicity for the charity that it might not otherwise get? If the numbers had been black for instance you would likely not have heard of the charity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 It's to raise awareness for charity, and it has clearly worked as I, and by the sounds of it quite a few others on here, googled it to find out what it was all about. I think I can deal with the very minor irritation of not being able to easily identify players for one game in order for a charity to benefit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 3 goals and multiple subs and the ref added 2 minutes! I’m quite sad, so I rewound and timed the stoppages. For just the goals and the subs, there were 8 minutes 20 seconds lost. And he added 2 minutes Please can we go back to how the added time worked in the World Cup. Much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please believe me, when I say this is a genuine, serious response. When I first read that the reason for wearing white shirts and numbers was for a charity, I obviously looked it up to establish which charity. When I read ‘No More Red’, I thought immediately of the recent discussions about women having to wear all white, including underwear, when competing at Wimbledon, regardless of whether they were on their menstrual cycle, and thought what a good idea. I then read the article itself, and thought again, what a good, indeed excellent, idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
