Number customization is a launch-window addition. The v0.80.2 patch notes of July 14 list it plainly, added the ability to customize your jersey number, in the same update that reworked penalties and rebuilt the purchase flow. It reached everyone with the July 17 Early Access release.

Numbers and the team-color rule
The palette system explains why numbers stay readable. Jerseys accept only a detail color, since primary and secondary are reserved for team identity; the number lives in that always-contrasting team kit, so your 10 reads clearly whether your side is home or away that match. It is a tidy example of the developer’s one hard cosmetic rule, team association stays clear, applied to typography. The full channel system is on the color palettes page.
Culture: pick a number that means something
Football numbers carry roles. Nine leads the line, ten creates, one keeps goal, and in a game with real position play, wearing a number that matches your job is genuinely useful social signaling in solo queue. Nobody can enforce it, this is quickplay with strangers, but a keeper in 1 who actually plays keeper sets expectations faster than chat ever will. Your number plus a distinctive look and a title is how squads start remembering you.
