Play game: Can you match these Boston athletes by their jersey numbers?
Test your knowledge on which famous New England athletes share the same jersey numbers.
When it comes to legendary New England athletes, we attach their championships, clutch plays, and ability to inspire to their name. But alongside their name, their jersey numbers — what identifies them on the court, ice, and field — are part of what make them stand out, as the numbers become iconic symbols of their career.
Generations of New Englanders will never forget that Tom Brady wore No. 12 (thanks also to his relentless branding efforts) or that David Ortiz wore No. 34 when he helped the Red Sox break the curse.
Yet there are so many other examples of New England sports stars becoming linked with the number on the back of their jersey, to the point that some numbers are even retired by teams to honor those players.
