Players' names on back of guernseys this week

[ugg]

Including this collector's item

[bondy]

No hyphen?

[ScottH]

Would have loved to see them fit this one on: "dipierdomenico" without abbreviating it.

How about Kolodjashnij?

[Swansinger]

Google "ARGELICO" - a retired Brazilian soccer player. Then tell me how Vlad would have handled THAT surname on a jumper

[DA_Swan]

How many Swans players will have "MIA" or "WTF" on the back of their jersey this week !!

Will hopefully prevent conversations like the one I had on Sunday. My daughter and I were watching the game, when my wife walked in as Laidler kicked a goal:

Wife: Who's that?
Me: That's Laidler he's...
Daughter: He's a world class mathematician.
Wife: Great goal!
Me: That's nothing. You should read his paper on category theory.

[not long later]

Wife: And who's that?
Me: That's Tom Derickx, he's...
Daughter: No, he's an english teacher.

Things get a bit random in the Beerman household from time to time. Sadly, those conversations were the highlight of the game for me.

[Doctor]

Should be L.R-T.

[Untamed Snark]

Should be L.R-T.

Should read Mr Football


I want one that says "Hodor"

It's not 100% clear, but picture 13 of the training photos with the players practising wearing their names looks like no 45 is just labelled Mitchell, rather than P Mitchell. There aren't any photos of T Mitchell to confirm. Yet the Richards and Jack brothers have their initials on their backs. Is this oversight, or do you only need to be distinguished if you share the same gene pool. If there is a significant different physical variation, are supporters meant to just know the difference with an initial?

I was looking forward to the commentators scratching their heads as to when Tommy's brother joined the club.

Question for those at the game...could you even see the names on their back? I think it only worked for tv but to be honest I didn't really look at the name...too used to looking at the number.
