Charlotte Hornets guard Nick Smith Jr. to change jersey number for 2025-26 season

Growing up, I was obsessed with buying any sports jerseys I could.

It reached its peak during 2020, when I found myself spending hundreds of dollars across different websites, getting jerseys from players such as Ja Morant to Charles Barkley. I own a jersey of almost any player you can name.

The risk with buying a jersey is that there is a strong chance the player leaves that team or changes his number. It often makes for a cool or niche jersey, but it becomes an annoyance when it happens. The jersey I saved up money for and was so excited when it arrived, is not even worn by that player anymore.
