We know how much you love your kits, as evidenced by the crazy amount of hits we got on our Away and Home kit leaks this summer. Well, if you’re anything like me, you love your Squad numbers even more. Who’s wearing which number is the biggest question of the offseason for those of us suffering from Arithmomania or Obsessive-Complusive Disorder, and really, it’s interesting for a lot of us.
And so, today, Leeds United announced their first-team squad numbers. No huge surprises for me, but check it out, and then we’ll discuss. Your 2016/17 Leeds squad:
1. Robert Green
3. Sol Bamba
4. Toumani Diagouraga
5. Kyle Bartley
6. Liam Cooper
7. Kemar Roofe
8. Luke Murphy
9. Chris Wood
10. Marcus Antonsson
11. Souleymane Doukara
12. Marco Silvestri
15. Stuart Dallas
16. Matt Grimes
19. Pablo Hernandez
20. Jordan Botaka
21. Charlie Taylor
22. Ross Turnbull

24. Hadi Sacko
25. Ronaldo Vieira
27. Alex Mowatt

So there they are.
Some things we noticed: Sam Byram wore the 2 last season, and he hasn’t been replaced on the field or in our hearts, so it’s no surprise his number is left vacant. Alex Mowatt moving from 10 to 27 is an.... interesting selection... maybe taking pressure off will help? Pablo Hernandez as a 19 is a bit of a surprise? And Marco Silvestri moving to 12 while Rob Green takes the 1 is certainly telling, but I think we all saw that one coming. Does anything else stand out to you?
Let us know on social media or in the comments, and get ready... QPR is less than 48 hours away.
