SYDNEY utility Lewis Roberts-Thomson will be easy to find in Round 5 when the AFL trials having players' surnames printed on the back of guernseys.

The versatile Swan's nickname — L.R.T— will instead be used in place of his 14-letter surname plus hyphen.

While not yet confirmed, Melbourne small forward Jay Kennedy-Harris could be in similar company.

The Western Bulldogs were quick boast it was able to squeeze favourite son Daniel Giansiracusa's surname on his guernsey, as did Gold Coast with young gun Kade Kolodjashnij.

AFL football operations boss Mark Evans launched the new-look today.

"There's lots of young people and new people to our game who they think could have some benefit by being able to recognise names," he said.

"In our game we've had a longstanding history of looking at the numbers and knowing the stars of our game via the numbers.

"We've always got one eye on the traditions of the game, but we should also have one eye on what the future could be."

Brothers Kieren and Brandon Jack as well as Brad and Matthew Crouch will have their first initial and surnames printed on their guernseys.
