[Vitas Cricket]

This year we are playing in coloured kit in all short format cricket (sixes tournaments, and T20 cups/leagues) - mainly because we run/sponsor most of them and have introduced the pink ball which means it is ok to wear either coloured kit or whites, and you don't have to worry about changing the sight-screens to black, but a pink ball is still way more visible in the evenings than a red one.

Our kit will be blue, with some pink liony details as you can see, awaiting blue trousers and sweaters still but they won't be long.



I've got some nice blue pads lined up from B&S, some of the boys are using CLADS, others will spray paint some old pads....

Myself and Robin also decided to go flashy with our footwear, i would never wear something like this in proper cricket at the weekend, but for bunting around at a fairly average standard, why not have a bit of fun? Robin has gone for those Puma shoes in pink that many people have posted pictures of, i took a different route....



Blue and Pink Tennis shoes sprigged up.

Very happy.

Those shirts look a bit too fitted to be comfortable!

Jake, what made you go for a court shoe over a running shoe?

As a wk, would ey not offer more lateral support?

Can you share pics of blue pads from b&s and are they available for regular sale.

They are blue and pink, in terms of shoe quality they could have been pound shop flip flops for all i cared.

I don't have them yet, but yes Gary has a few pairs for sale.

I agree - cries of SHAME! from us senior members.

Thats a specific 'Robin fit' one, aka very tight!

@Boondougal has been coming to our nets where i have worn my one that is a normal fit, hopefully he will confirm i didn't look too much like a bunch of sausages

Looks awesome I might have to move to Peterborough.

I do prefer Robin's choice of footwear but not by much

Loving the shoe and kit combo Jake, i'm sure you will look the part.

I can confirm that their was absolutely no sausage on show.  There was a resemblance to 5kg bag of potatoes but luckily @Vitas Cricket could pull it off.

I personally think that if it can be done economically and with the right spirit then the kit like the Vitas Boys have got going helps to liven up the game and brings a different dimension. In some strange way i have to also say it sums up the club sprit as well. I had a great time at nets and was made to feel very welcome by everyone both during the nets and during the post net rehydration.


Still crossing my fingers for a mid week game call up but there is no doubt that the club kit does shape the selection criteria some what... A call up for me might need a crash diet, 6 months notice and a jumper.

Pleased to hear you had a good time with us mate.

@Boondougal If you are still working in the area when the midweek T20 stuff starts (late May) then i'm sure we'll find some room in the team (and the shirts) for you mate!

@Vitas Cricket.... Contracted till October, might as well give me a squad number! 

Worst case at least i know where to come and watch a decent game.
