T20 shirt is horrible.
ODI isn't too bad, Just a tad tacky with the split of colours.
Test gear is pretty much average and basicly what was expected.
Prices- Awful

it takes something to beat the fluorescent pink/orange car crash one we had recently for T20, but this tops it

Hate to be stuck back-in-the-day when we all went out and bought the latest shirt no matter what the price but for 80 odd quid for this one i'd rather buy a blank canvas, tip some Dulux on it and wear that.

to me it looks like a rugby or football shirt. and it's awful.

sorry......  :)

That jumper is lovely but why are the sleeve badges at the elbows?

One day and T20 shirts are horrific. Adidias must be laughing their tits off.

I strongly dislike all of these. Would of thought a mainstream company like New Balance would of done a little better.

Surely they must have shown the designs to loads of people during the design stage??

I just wonder what the other samples were like before picking these ones, the ECB markets/corporate department need to be sacked!

Not only that the Natwest logos look god awful, we now have the worst kit in world cricket i think. :(

NB were pitching to people who in their downtime either wear clothes bought from the back of the Telegraph on Sunday's TV guide, or the tried and tested pastel polo shirt tucked into chino shorts.

They reap what they sew.

Really don't know how they could get it this wrong, surely a simple base like the adidas kits but just with NB emblazoned on them.

I might pop into the store later, see how they look in the flesh. Could do with a new cap come to think of it, my current one is in horrible shape.

I loved the South Africa replicas so had high hopes for the England kits but the T20 is particularly bad. I did notice that there are 2 kits available to buy too, like the football shirt method of a proper, 'as the players wear' shirt for 80-90 and a 'supporters' shirt for 55.

the one on the left is decent because us supporters(of some of us) wear them with jeans. that's a cracking looking shirt.

not sure about the one on the right but it's still better than the dogs dinner that is ours.

When we won the T20 WC(woop woop) Collingwood led us home in a dark blue addias shirt that looked superb

how are we going to win anything looking like a football reserve team

it's poor..... :)

Maybe the opposition won't be able to catch due to fits of laughter?

Just noticed the see-through trousers. Doesn't inspire me to buy a set for my whites...

Actually don't mind the stripes, but just looked them up on the ecb shop... why are they only on the front? Same with the ODI shirt, bizarre.

Some of the training stuff is quite smart but rather costly!
