Players that wore different numbers on same team

To lazy for photos, but here's some I can think of off the top of my head for my pro teams. The first one is kinda funny.

  • Minnesota North Stars:
    • Brian Lawton started at #98 and switched to 8. I think 98 was because he was the first overall pick and was going to be just a bit below Gretzky. Not sure if the switch was related to his being a bust...
  • Vikings:
    • Technically doesn't count, but Randy Moss wore #18 in preseason before switching to 84.
    • Culpepper's change from 12 to 11 (mentioned above)
    • Chris Kluwe changed from 5 to 4 to accommodate Donovan McNabb (and that very memorable era).
    • Lots of guys once lower numbers were allowed, none that I can think of really worth mentioning).
  • T-Wolves:
    • Anthony Edwards switching from 5 to 1, as mentioned above.
  • Twins:
    • Justin Morneau came in with 27 and ended up wearing 33.
    • Kent Hrbek came in with 26 and ended up wearing 14.

 

Dalvin Cook from 33 to 4 in his final year with the team.

Longtime Bucks cult hero Ersan Ilyasova primarily wore 7, and I'll be double dipping into right team/wrong uniform twice as we recall him in green/red....but he wore #23 in the preseason of the Bucks' last season in purple (though he'd spend the season in the D League)

then, he made his actual NBA debut in #19 before going to Spain for a few years...

...after returning from Europe, Ghostface Ilya claimed #7

...and when he later returned to Milwaukee after being traded a few times, Thon Maker was wearing 7, so Ersan wore 77 for a season, reverting to 7 the next season after Maker was himself traded.
