Ferdinand Cesarano Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Every time I see the Nets' Joe Harris wearing no. 12, I think of Lucious Harris. A half-credit goes to Rondae Hollis-Jefferson wearing the no. 24 that will always be associated with Richard Jefferson. I think the most famous example of this phenomenon is Jack Clark and Will Clark both wearing no. 22 for the Giants. Recently I saw someone walking around wearing one of those Yankee t-shirts that improperly feature the player's name. It said "JOHNSON 41". And I thought: "Wow, that guy sure is a big fan of Cliff Johnson!" Then I remembered about Randy Johnson. A case from international soccer is Tomas Müller wearing the no. 13 for Germany that had been worn by Gerd Müller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Interesting topic. The impact is kinda lost with a team like the Yankees who don't have names on any jerseys (or even with a uniform change like that Nets example), but it's amusing to see that Clark example. Those were both good players...and anyone that has a history of buying jerseys has had their jerseys become outdated. It would have been great to have had your Jack Clark jersey become viable again. As soon as I saw the thread, I thought this had happened to one of my teams, but I'm not recalling who...

eRay Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Guess I'll be going down this research rabbit-hole for the next couple weeks. Here are the first ones I could find where pictures of both were available: Phil & Alton Ford wearing #1 for the Houston Rockets. Gus & Shammond Williams wearing #1 for the Seattle Sonics Marcus & Terrence Williams wearing #1 for the New Jersey Nets Joe & Wesley Johnson wearing #2 for the Phoenix Suns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoOakland Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I had to dig deep for this one... Believe it or not, Rickey Henderson was not the first Henderson to wear #24 for the A's.

BBTV Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It's kinda silly to post photos of the front of people's jerseys, since the entire topic is based on matching backs. You all fail, except for the Will/Jack Clark pic - that was pretty great.
