It's kinda cheesy if you think about it but i could see fans going round with Arsenal 12 (now i think about it i looks quite nice)
If we were a team like Barnet who had no money then a ticket number system would be quite to see what number comes out
The winner will sit on the bench with the stars & will get a game right at the end of the game wearing HIS surname with 12 on the back
The problem is that a child as young as 5 would be called out or a woman (not being against them but they can't play a MAN'S game) or as well a OAP
So is it unfair that season ticket holders may have the chance to do it
I know it'll never happen but i had a good laugh at the Portsmiuth home game when i looked at the back of the programme with 12 being the fans
This is how i got the idea
I'd only get rid of the number if the player that last wore it (being Lauren) died at all (

) like Foe of Man City & Lens
It was pleaseing to see the number 6 shirt back but sadly the magic hasn't worked quite yet

Yeah good idea, i couldn't decide who to have on my shirt so i just got the number 10 on it because when i see RvP against barnet he was wearing number 10 with no name and it looked really good

I got home shirt with TH14 on but if your logo peels you can send it or take it back to the club shop and they will replace im not sure if you can edit the lettering without the extra fee. I think they should retire shirt's to real legends at the club but not to the fans.

not 2 gone on retirin legends shirts,, wat defines a legend,, winning cups, years spent at club,, apps. would a guy who spends all his career at 1 club r aguy givin 10 years,,just usin the sqiad number years might be hard 2 pick a legend out of all the great gooners . adams db10 rocky th14 wat bout dixon and winterburn bould keown and many more.. we,d eventually hav a team wit numbers startin in the 50,s our 100.s

It"s such a gamble now to have a name and number put on the back of a shirt.How many home shirts have Henry and 14 on the back.And how many fans who have bought the new white shirt have taken the chance and had 4 and Fabregas put on it. The safest thing to do is get your own name put on the shirt.At least you know you will still be here next season.

Really silly idea having no.12 for the fans.

A 12th man usually comes on as a late substitute after about 86 mins, that's when our fans go off.

I was gonna get RVP on the back of mine, but Walcott was in the shop and signed so got 32 Walcott.

My mate has all of his newer tops with th14 or 14 Va Va Voom.

He is realy pissed of because he realy likes the purple and has henry on the back, he did not get anything on his new top.

mabye you could get 100 A.Wenger

durting the world cup my bro put 9 meta tarsal on his england shirt!

Maybe we can get the players weekly salary printed on the back of their shirts.....or better still, it could electronically change as the game is going on.

Why don't leave this shirt retiring nonsense to the others. Stinks of this Beckham type shit of a world we live in where gimmicks are everything.

Rebel Gooner - Sorry, but still the best picture.

retire the shirt

gooner 12, for the fans

retire the shirt
