Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 1, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some American stuff has it the other way around as well, I think. I've bought hoodies from American apparel in the past with the zip on the wrong side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Kisses under other people's names is something I started doing a few years ago. Throw in the occasional other person's mobile number and it can be a good laugh.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2021 Amazing how having the zip on the other side / buying a woman's garment completely throws you off. I had a jacket like this a couple of years ago and I had to get my 14yo to zip it up for me, which they then followed by asking, "Should I put you in an old people's home now I'm doing your clothes up for you?"

I mean, I’ll occasionally squeeze the odd “love from” in between the message and the name but I’m not about breaking up happy homes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzer Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I really hate football positions being referred to by a number, especially as numbers are interchangeable depending on where you are. In Brazil 6 is a left back, in the UK it was always a centre back and in Europe it was a more defensive midfielder (which I would always have as 4). It also meant more before squad numbers became a thing and needs to fuck off. Mason Mount is an attacking midfielder not a "number 10". The only position I'll accept this sort of behaviour for is in goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Timberland clothing typically have the zips on the other side. I look like Arsene Wenger when I'm trying to zip up my Timberland jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted August 3, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2021 There’s a ton of brands that are putting the zips on the wrong side. I have hoodies from Nike, Nimbus, American Apparel, Russell and AWDIs and the inconsistency is terrible. Fairly sure my North Face jacket zips on the wrong size too. Not women’s, not backwards. But unsold Leftorium stock nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only position I'll accept this sort of behaviour for is in goalkeeper. The only real time I've ever heard numbers used over position names, is No.9 an No.10. No.9 because it is the traditional number for your main striker(and was everywhere as far as I know), and No.10 being more of a non-British thing where it was assigned to the most talented, creative attacking midfielder/deeper playing forward(although it was also assigned to the sweeper/libero when said player was the playmaker). In almost 35 years of watching the game though, I don't think I've heard other positions called a number(other than the 'keeper). Certainly never heard anyone describe a left-back as a "number 3", as in one of your examples. Not saying it's never happened, but it's not something I can recollect...
