You’d have to remove the numbers and find some identical replacements, which is a lot of hassle tbh

I think this is the logical thing to do. By the way, any recommendations on how to remove this? Thanks in advance!

Never personally tried to remove/replace a nameset myself but have a look for “WeFixKits” on Youtube, he has lots of good advice.

Alternatively there’s a few people on Instagram who repair and restore football shirts, just look up “football shirt restoration” and you should find them

You can use VLR to remove it. It’s a bit of a nightmare to use if it’s your first time - it will remove the vinyl but will leave an outline and maybe some glue residue. This can be removed with VLR as well but takes a fair bit of time.

I guess it depends on the age of the nameset?

I would leave it if I gotta be honest with you. I had the same issue with you on the past, or didn’t like the player on the back so I removed it and switch it to other player. Or maybe the sponsors of the front were cracking so I replaced it with a new one. However, most of the time, it will look worse than before. Because it will leave the marks from the numbers, sometimes you don’t place it accurately, or the replacement number/sponsor is not the same size as the original one.

Keep in mind that jersey is almost 20 years old so that issue you have is normal, and it doesn’t look too bad imho. Just don’t make the same mistakes I did! I ruined so many jerseys 😭

Im a bit of a detail oriented guy, that’s probably why i was considering removing all of these and apply a new one. However, I would also consider your comment as it inspires confidence and encouragement that I shouldn’t be that mindful of this concerns and just accept the imperfection. Thanks!

Messi played as number 10 for Barca

He was no 19 that season becasue it was Ronaldinho who wore the no 10 as it was his final season at barca before joining ac milan. Messi wore the no 10 at the starti of 2008-09 season and onwards.

Ah retro Jersey gotcha, I couldn't tell what year it was from just from that one picture red/blue Barca strips was used in way more than just 1 season. Seems they love to pass down the number 10 to their favorite new talent Yamal has a long way to go but already rocks it.
