Lamar Jackson is ready to change his look once he brings a trophy to Baltimore. The Ravens superstar currently wears No 8. He told the team podcast that he will switch to No 1 after a Super Bowl win. Jackson wants to follow the path of NBA legend Kobe Bryant by retiring 2 different jersey numbers.
“If we win the Super Bowl, I’m going to No. 1,” Jackson said during his interview on The Lounge. He explained his deep connection to both digits. Jackson wore No 1 as a child because his father said he was the best. He later switched to No. 8 because his mother believed it represented new beginnings.

The quarterback has already seen success with No 8. He won 2 NFL MVP awards and became a dominant dual-threat force. However, the ultimate goal remains a championship. Jackson wants to leave a massive legacy. “I want to retire No. 8 and No. 1,” he added during the discussion.
Jackson is currently having a strong 2025 season. He has thrown 21 passing touchdowns through 13 games. His passer rating sits at 103.8 as the Ravens push for a high playoff seed.
The team is currently 10-3 and sits near the top of the AFC standings. Fans are excited about the potential jersey change.
The NFL changed its rules in 2021 to allow more players to wear No 1. Jackson is waiting for the right moment to make the move. He refuses to switch until the job in Baltimore is finished.
“I want to win a Super Bowl with No. 8 on then come back and do the same thing with 1 on,” Jackson stated. This plan keeps the focus on winning first. Baltimore fans are eager to see No 1 on the field soon.
