It is that time of the year again when all of the squad numbers and available players look totally different on the opening day of the season. However, let's get into it, shall we? 

Looking through every single player who has either signed for the club or changed their number for the upcoming season.

Struijk takes the number 4 after Adam Webster's departure. Struijk adds a lot of squad depth and valuable experience for the Seagulls. 

This one feels quite weird to look at, as the 22 was certainly becoming quite iconic to say the least. Mitoma has been nothing short of a superstar for the Seagulls, and opting to switch to 7 in place of Solly March to match his national team number makes sense for him!

Probably the best news of the season so far! Hinshelwood switches his number to an iconic number 8, freeing up the number 13 for a certain familiar face!

Albion's new hotshot striker takes the number 12 for the first time since Enock Mwepu wore the number back in the 2021/22 season. 

Some other familiar faces for fans to wear the 12: Niki Maenpaa, Sebastien Pocognoli, Gaetan Bong, Craig Mackail-Smith, Kazenga Lualua, Matt Heath, and Gary Hart!

A big season ahead for our new Canadian!

All normal service resumes. This feels much better. Seeing Pascal back at the Amex but wearing 30 will always feel like an odd fever dream from this point onwards. We are back to the standard procedure again, and our legendary number 13 gets his number back!

The Ghanian forward takes a significant number ahead of the new season! Osman has been one of the standout players of pre-season, with high praise from Fabian Hürzeler too. 

Our new number 15 could be a big one to watch for the new season.

The new Portugese right-back takes the number 20, after the departing and retiring James Milner. 

The first Portuguese player to play for the club permanently, and potentially a shrewd piece of business at just £11 million. 

The former Arsenal starboy takes Mitoma's number, and it is certainly a big one to grow into! Cozier-Duberry had a stunning loan at Bolton Wanderers last season, and Hüzeler has sung the praises of the returning loanees. 

Perhaps Amario could have a bigger part to play for the Seagulls this season. 

Svoboda signed for the club for a bargain fee of around €5 million. The centre-back could be a strong depth option for the Seagulls this season and takes the number 30, previously worn by Groß.

Yalcouyé had a very encouraging season at Sturm Graz but fizzled out a touch while on loan at Swansea City. 

A very raw young talent, but if developed correctly, could be a valuable member of the squad. His potential is top, but his ability now could be strong for the Conference League.

Albion's new £21.8 million signing from Sweden takes the number 36, as he has been wearing throughout pre-season. 

The Nigerian winger has shown very promising signs to potentially be the next big thing at the club!

A very high-potential young defender, Simmonds has taken a senior squad number for the new season, taking after Hinshelwood's 41 when he broke out under Roberto De Zerbi!

Hopefully a good omen for the 2008-born talent. 

Albion's record signing takes the number 44, just like he did at Hamburg while on loan. The Croatian international has always looked up to his older brother, Mario Vuskovic, who also wore the same number before him. 

The £50 million Brighton man is finally in the building!
