Title: Good god what were they thinking of with that kit???
Post by: tim2000s on March 17, 2014, 03:14:13 PM
Okay, I don't know about anyone else, but I really don't know why England are playing in Orange in the T20I, and frankly I think it's grim... Blue or White and Red for me please...

And have you seen how badly it clashes with Bell and Morgan???

You are actually kidding me?! 

Blue preferably, I don't really mind what shade (although I wish we'd go back to the World Cup '92 light blue), or red at a push, but orange?  Nah.

Bell looks like he refused to wear it, was drugged and is just coming round.  Eoin Morgan's happy 'cos he knows the new ODI kit is in Waitrose corporate colours - green...

That press release is right up there with The FA calling England's 90s grey shirt indigo.  It was grey.  No other word for it.  And that, ECB, is orange.  Officially tango'd...

England strip should be red and white, probably a dodgy cameraman ... they need Simmy to do it. Why is the collar black, it should be white.

Why do people want blue ........... this is no blue in a st georges cross.

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 17, 2014, 04:02:29 PM
Solar Red is the official colour pantone description, I saw this back in October at a Broad/Bell/Anderson photoshoot and its very vibrant but probably not as orange as is displayed in these photos when you see it in person.

the shirts use metal technology in the rear neck section to cool the body as well apparently, material tech taken across from tennis apparel.

Post by: jwebber86 on March 17, 2014, 05:29:12 PM
certainly not the right colour for england but i want one would match my netherlands hat that i wear.

the other thing about the kit that annoys me is their odi kit. the shirt is red and the hat is blue just seems to me like they couldn't be bothered to order new hats with the new shirts would look better in red or my opinion

Why can't they just play in Red and White?!?! Every other country plays in their nations' colours - why we have to be different is beyond me - just keep it simple!!

Has someone has put some Waitrose logos on a few Guantanamo Bay jumpsuits! :o

Ian Bell genuinely looks sad! Like one of those kids off the British Red Cross adverts...

"Ian is a test match batsman struggling for his place in a T20 world. For just £2 a month, even Ian can have a kit made by someone who doesn't have a chronic eye disorder...".

Whoever is making decisions at the ECB has dropped the ball again. Simply awful.

So if they change the ODI shirt to green to accommodate Waitrose,
The test shirt will be white ofcourse, the odi green and t20 orange. Playing into hands of the tricolor folk are they not? Shouldn't the just take all irish players (you know instead of the keen ones)
 :D I might like England if the have green and white haha

even though the flag is white/red/blue, Australia play with yellow I think because of their national flower or something.

Don't know where Black came from for NZ either.

The blue 2012 one has been the best T20/ODI kit in recent years

Just when you thought it couldnt get worse than the Red/Orange T20 shirt i present to you the new Blue ODi shirt:

Absolutly horrendous colour.

Lots of imagination also spent on the new test shirt:
