77
Phil Esposito wore number 77 after being traded to the New York Rangers, since 7 wasn't available.
I believe he is the first to wear such a high number in the NHL, which is now commonplace.

84British Army term for the 84mm Carl Gustav recoilless rifle. ![]()  The system has been noted from the start for its accuracy, impressive range and firepower since appearing with the Swedish Army in 1948. The system earned its distinct name from the production facility from whence the initial rifles were produced - Carl Gustafs Stads Gevarsfaktori in Sweden - a facility now owned by Bofors. Since its inception, the Carl Gustav went on to become a pivotal offensive arm of military forces around the globe (even seeing license-production in Japan with Sumitomo). The M1 appeared in 1948 and was followed by the improved Carl Gustav M2 in 1964. The M3 followed decades later in 1991 and featured a host of improvements, chief among these being a reduction in overall weight in part to the replacement of internal steel components. The Carl Gustav remains in operational service in its varied forms and is a particular favorite with special forces groups including the United States Special Operations COMmand (USSOCOM) units.

87
Cricket in Australia holds 87 as a superstitiously unlucky score and is referred to as "the devil's number."
This originates from the fact that 87 is 13 runs short of a century.
187, 287 and so on are also considered unlucky but is not as common as 87 on its own.
