New Uniforms
Just for a bit of a laugh, what do you think of the new uniforms for this season?
I'm not really that much of a fan of the dark green, it's really only there because the Commonwealth Bank logo is yellow. I hope they fixed up the mismatch of colours between the shirt and shorts, it's very noticeable and looked stupid. You can't see it here, but we'll see.
Personally I also liked the grey skin tight (and slightly controversial because of it) T20 uniform. I think it was good to have that difference between all three forms.
One thing I particularly don't like is the Test uniform. They have now moved to whites instead of creams (or not quite, maybe off-white). I liked the cream, showed that Australia was resisting the notion off commercialism and sticking with tradition. Also there is a yellow stripe on the shirt and the yellow collar. They are called whites or creams for a reason, they don't have those colours. I don't mind having a Vodafone label on one side of the chest and on the sleeve, but definitely not like what is in the Sheffield Shield at the moment with a massive Weetbix across the front. The Test uniform shouldn't have any colours or stripes on it, this is most likely just the start of slowly adding colours to Tests. In ten years time there will probably be stripes and patterns all over the whites.
Uniforms don't really matter as long as they keep playing well, but you do have to keep in with traditional views while creating something that makes it pleasing to the eye.
