I still don't understand the need. Green is for RSA, Pakistan, Bangladesh. Even Zimbabwe and Ireland use it. Nobody else uses gold.

They look like the training shirts rugby teams wear.

Disappointing to me that the ICC doesn't have their own Umpires in women's internationals outside of World Cups still. At least the CA First-Class umpires who are standing in the match should be in ICC shirts not Cricket Australia shirts.
or atleast for the biggest womens cricket series other then world cups

Any international cricket is played under the umbrella of the ICC. So all international matches should have ICC umpires. Even if they're both locals (like in men's T20Is) and even if they're both actually first-class umpires like the guys in today's game. Just give them a shirt!

T20 kit would be way better if the black was navy.

Black, like New Zealand?
Navy is a fairly common tertiary colour for Australian uniforms.

I don't really associate the black with NZ, like I do blue with England. When Have the Aussies ever worn Navy anyway? You say it is pretty common...

Socceroos secondary kit and International Rules are the two big ones off the top of my head. In the 90s Australia's ODI uniforms sometimes had blue trim and it was a good look IMO.

They are completely different sports though, where we don't have arch rivals wearing navy.

In limited-overs cricket NZ are pretty high on the arch-rivals stakes as well...

Which explains why I said they were pretty high up the list, not greater than. The two statements aren't mutually exclusive, nor does yours disprove mine.

But you can't just start ruling out colours because we have a slight rivalry with a team that wears said colour. The only team that we have a big enough rivalry with to avoid their colours is England.

I think "slight" is quite an understatement - there has always been a strong rivalry between Australia and New Zealand, especially in limited-overs cricket. England, New Zealand, India would be the three biggest in LO cricket IMO.
