Arsenal offers reprinted jerseys after Xhaka changes number
Arsenal / Twitter
Granit Xhaka's decision to change kit numbers less than a week after signing for Arsenal could be costly for the north London outfit.
Originally unveiled as the team's new No. 16 - Aaron Ramsey's old number - the team announced Tuesday that the Swiss international will now wear No. 29 during his first season at the Emirates Stadium.

However, fans who purchased the original kit will be able to get a reprinted version with Xhaka's new number:
