Alright I guess it is the changing of the ways having players with high jersey numbers.
I just liked the old days when the starting eleven were numbers 1-11. With the expanding rosters these days that can not happen. You gave two really good examples with the high numbers. Perhaps they started their career with that number and never wanted to change. Teams have about 40 players today including reserves so my number thing was too low. Now sometimes I see players wearing numbers like 99 and THAT is strangle.
