New Australian 2012 Kits [Vomit]

[timchrist984]

Alright, I was watching tv and the news came on. The first thing I see is Cameron White in an awful black and greenish gold T-shirt. I think to myself, is this a joke? I turns out not. I looked online and saw a couple of articles about the new 2012 kits. Here are 2 articles I found:

A black day for Aussie cricket | thetelegraph.com.au and Cricket Australia > Latest News > News

It turns out that these kits are manufactured by by Asics instead of Addidas. I realize that what cricketers wear doesn't affect the way they play, but the only word I could think of to describe the new T20 kit was vomit. Does anyone actually like any of the kits? I don't mind the test kit, but I think the other 3, (T20, Home ODI, Away ODI) are awful. What does everyone think?

It's looking pretty good. Although I have to admit, the previous t20 kit was better.

Kiwi media is going to have a massive whinge on this

Home and Away ODI are fine...T20 kit...yuk.

They're fine to me, T20 one looks a bit weird but I'm not fussed.

Lol you know it! But seriously why would you guys want to copy the black caps?? we suck..

It's not confusing, the NZ kit has gills.

The T20 kit design actually looks good and is the best of what we have worn so far just black isn't our colour.

Are you serious? It looks rubish! The shirt below was the best one we've ever worn. It's been all downhill since then.

But that's very subjective. There have been dozens of yellow and green shirts with pretty similar styles; what makes that one special?

 

[timchrist984]

Nothing really, it's just the shirt the Aussies wore when I first got in to cricket (when I was 7). I do really prefer a canary yellow shirt over some weird black one.

Cameron White highlighted the benefits of a black kit, by referencing the fact that black is slimming. Useful.

And these are better?

The kit itself is fine and would suit a team that had those colours.

I didn't like the fluro green bits on the last one, but otherwise they made good use of the dark green and even seemed to relish the big kfc logo by creating a shape that looks like wickets. The one before copped a lot because it was different, but ultimately it was quite a simple design with a neutral palette. I still think it's very interesting that they talk about the commercial viability of the new one, when half the country is a market for collarless, sleeveless guernseys. Maybe the designs aren't the issue.

The main thing I hated about the last two was it looked like some basketball jersey rather than a shirt. Colour wise the last one is good apart from the florescent green you mentioned.
