Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Once Krasniqi returned to Toronto from his dual reg wouldn’t he have been de-registered with the club and therefore his number was de-registered (plus he was never ‘our’ player). Where as Evans is our player, just out on loan.'"
They still wore the same number. Generally with squad numbers, once a number has been worn in a game, it's not worn by someone else for the season. Nowhere near as bad as some clubs do with the numbers, but just pointing out that the Bulls have done it too.
As I say, either do it properly or don't do it. I personally am a fan of squad numbers as I think it helps the more casual fans (and new fans) know who's who on a regular basis more easily.
