Thought I would post these in here rather than Starting a new topic.

Lurking in the background is my own rawtek blue tint with new club logo and pinstripes applied, and in the foreground is Robins brand new Adizero custom with blue paint job, pink pinstripes and club logo.

Many thanks to @Ayrtek for all the help

Pink pinstripes on the blue shell, they're tasty!

Those boys love their pink! Looks great!

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.

Awesome shirts mate and awesome job with the shoes/helmet etc.

Having played with a pink balls for a few seasons now, one concern though: the ball will for sure get lost in those jerseys and the opposition will complain. Is that something you guys considered ?

Have you guys got an Aussie player from Eastern Suburbs with you this year?

I thought the colour combo,s etc made you look like a bunch er girls, but the missus loves it?
Now she's asking why we have to play in white, and I suppose she's right.
I'm not a fan of white kit, all logoed up with sponsor names, ,but the coloured stuff looks good.

I suppose it sums up cricket in the UK,at the mo,,too many died in the wool boring old farts

5 games for him so far, three hundreds and a 50, all of them not out.

Ah, missed that thread. Not a bad start to the season.

Make that 6 games, 3 hundreds, 2 fifties, and a solitary failure on 8. He's only been dismissed twice. Blader!

[Vitas Cricket]

Another little addition.

Don't really get the point in playing if one player is that much better than everyone.

We are newly promoted into both leagues. He's a good bat definitely, but is he Tendulkar compared to the rest of us looking like armless idiots? No.

With respect to the oppo so far, we have played possibly 6 of our easiest games this season. We've played the same team 3 times already and they do appear destined for the drop.

Love those Blue B&S pads Jake, not playing T20 cricket this season, new club doesn't play any which is a little strange but Haho. Shame as I would have loved a set of those.

As a newly promoted club I imagine mportant to make sure that they had a quality overseas. To bridge any gap in quality there may have been. Also nowadays very rarely do you get the same pro in consecutive years. so it will help the batters batting with him to adjust and also give the bowlers a bit mire room for error.
