I mean is that it disgusts me that were wearing a colour that doesn't represent the country

Fair enough. I don't like it much really, but I think it's the sort of thing we've got to get used to with T20 cricket. But I sincerely hope we don't wear it in the T20 World Cup.

Navy blue or dark green would have been greatly preferable while still maintaining a generally dark strip.
My bigger problem with this T20 strip is that the striping is just random crap. There's no real sense of design or shape to it all.

Even the numbers on the back look a bit odd. I'm really not a fan.

Re: Cricket Kit Design/Discussion
What was wrong with the Australian Gold uniforms in the first place? Adidas takes over the clothing contract and they decide to have a home uniform and a away uniform.
Why did we need it? Did we clash with another country?
We didn't while we wore the Gold uniforms. With the Green uniforms we clash with South Africa and Pakistan as both wear Dark Green and Gold.
Now Asics has the contract and they introduce black. At least the Green was the Green of the baggy green cap. What is black to Australia? The colour of our nearest neighbours New Zealand.
What happens when we have another company with the clothing contact? Will we be wearing blue and look like England?
Bring back the Gold uniforms, hopefully by 2015 so we are wearing Gold at the World Cup in our country.

Re: Cricket Kit Design/Discussion
And I meant that during the 2015 World Cup we should wear green when it doesn't clash with other countries such as Pakistan and South Africa, because we are hosting it.
Sorry, I'm not very old so I wasn't around to see Australian gold ODI kits. I grew up watching the Aussies in green kits.

There are no clashes in cricket. Every test team wears white and have for over a hundred years.
There are two batsman who have bats and protective gear and spend their time on the pitch. The fielding team spend their time all around the oval and for the most part have very limited protective gear. Pretty easy to tell the difference between the two. Colour clashes don't exist.

Yeah mostly black is pretty bad.
If that's the case then you need your nappy changed - Australia have only been wearing green for 5 years or so.

Re: Cricket Kit Design/Discussion
What I meant is that I've only been watching Australian one day cricket while we have been wearing green. Just like Collingwood fans who never saw them play in white on black, it's just what I'm used to.
Let's say we keep wearing black for T20s, young people in 5-10 years people will be saying that they love the black because they are used to it.

Re: Cricket Kit Design/Discussion
Yes but if they're going to wear colours I think it makes sense for the two teams to wear different colours. Part of the coloured uniforms was to brighten things up, remove the "white team vs white team" thing from Tests...so if both teams are green it's the same deal just with green. I think the green kits look good, but do miss the gold ones...props for not just putting a white box around the Commonwealth Bank logo on the yellow shirts to make it show up though.

Whether the success made them look good I don't know but the best kits were 99, 03, 07 world cup tops.

Nothing beats the 80-84 WSC kits. Pure awesomness.
Closely followed by the 88-93 kit.
