Hey,

Do you guys think Yamamoto stays with his number #56? or do you think he goes back to his Jr number #17?

#17 is retired in Edmonton. It was Jari Kurri's number.

17 is Kurri's number, which is retired by the club. So he will be sticking with 56 unless he comes up with something else

Edit: Beaten to the punch

would you believe that totally ESCAPED my mind as I sit here wearing my Mcdavid jersey with the 40 years patch that has the retired numbers on it?

hahaha my god I feel dumb

question still stands though just not 17

He wore #7 in Bakersfield (which is also retired) so maybe he goes to #27? He's not built like our typical #27 though

I kinda thought he might go with #23 that he’s worn for the US a few times before, but it seems like Seth Griffith took that number so that might not be an option.

Is 99 available? I've always thought that was a cool number.

He better not change his number. I just bought a Yamamoto jersey in the playoffs!!

I wonder if a player has ever changed numbers after having a breakout season

It's funny how many great Oilers wore a number ending with 7 or 9. 29-99-9 is one hell of a first line and that's not even including Doug Weight's #39. For a 3x3 group 17-97 with 7 would be an automatic win

He had such a fantastic season last year and nothing went wrong for him I don’t see why he would even consider changing his number.

you never have anything good to say do you?

I started this thread because I have a reverse retro jersey I want to get customized and I have enough drai and mcdavid jerseys. I was curious to see if anyone had any inside knowledge as to whether or not Yamamoto would change his number as 56 is very uncommon and most established players don't wear numbers in the 50's for long after they've made a team.

is that still random to you? I mean its on topic for an Oilers discussion forum. perhaps you should think twice before posting my friend. ( ironic I know given my mind lapse) or are the only threads and posts we are allowed to post on here are bashing the oilers? I know you get confused when a thread is started and not one person is being negative towards to oilers, it confuses your hive mind.

I’mwith you regarding his changing number! Keep it so my jersey isn’t obsolete after 1 year!
