Despite Christian McCaffrey’s former number becoming available after the 49ers traded Jeff Wilson Jr., the superstar running back likely will stick with No. 23 this season.
Statisticians would have a difficult time keeping up with unnecessary changes, while their spotters also could get confused about which player was on the field at the time.
The biggest issue for a player in regard to changing jersey numbers is the unused, unpurchased jerseys.Kinlaw yearns to be 'part of something' in 49ers' playoff push When players change jersey numbers, they become responsible for the cost of the unsold jerseys carrying their former numbers. If McCaffrey was allowed an exception to the rule because of the shortened time frame, the All-Pro would still have to “buy back” the jerseys already made emblazoned with the No. 23.
With so many factors going against the change, it would seem likely that McCaffrey will stick to No. 23, at least for the rest of the 2022 season.
