Good god what were they thinking of with that kit???
« 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???

Looks a bit Hi-Vis to me! Hope there aren't too many insects out there or with that lovely orange they'll be around the players like flies on s***!

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...

Apparently a shade called Solar Red!

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...

In the same way Ginger Birds call themselves 'Fiery Redheads' When they're just angry rangas?

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.

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.
