From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki
Chelsea embarked upon a three-month tour of South America in 1929. During the trip the Blues earned the nickname 'Los Numerados' (the numbered ones), due to the Chelsea team wearing numbers on their shirts; ten years before numbered shirts were introduced by the Football League, and one year after becoming the first club (along with Arsenal) to wear shirt numbers.
