There’s nothing more heartbreaking in sports than buying the jersey of your favorite player and then having something change.
That’s what happened with a lot of Jaguars’ fans who bought James Robinson’s jersey.
Robinson wore number 30 for the 2020 NFL season as well as throughout the preseason so far this year, but opted to change his number to 25 for the regular season. It’s the same number he wore in college at Illinois.
As you can imagine, this had the potential to upset plenty of fans. It’s sort of a last-minute switch leading right up to the regular season. Not everyone has jersey insurance, either.
But that’s alright, though. Robinson is taking care of them. The running back promised to sign obsolete 30 jerseys for fans if they sent them in through Jaguars PR.
I want to THANK YOU for all of the love With me changing my number to 25, I’d love to sign ANY of your #30 jerseys as a continued THANK YOU for all your support and buying my jersey. DM @JaguarsPR tonight with a picture of you wearing my jersey and we will be in touch!#DUUUVAL🤘🏾

That’s pretty cool, man. It isn’t a new jersey, of course, but it might be even better. A signed jersey is a whole experience for fans — something they’ll remember forever.
What an awesome guy. What an awesome experience.
