Yeah. I won’t be buying any of that rubbish. Easy decision. A cinch, one might say

It really does look like a football shirt.

Errrrm, I actually quite like the jumper 😆 Modern with traditional twist and the central badge i like. Kind of reminds me of a classic, retro football top.

The jumper is ghastly on a whole new level.

The neck is too small, the cable knit is all wrong and you can't wear a white jumper like than just grim.

Definite downgrade from the previous incarnation.

In my opinion the test kit doesn't need to be revolutionary. Looking at Castore's current crop of test shirts, they were nicely constructed, simple and classic. Not sure why they didn't go with that again

This one really screams football shirt unfortunately. Its better than what New Balance have come up with though. I would never buy one so price isn't factored in, but they are expensive.

Because in the same way whenever you're buying anything for a wedding, the price goes up. Want a cake? It's £20. Want a wedding cake, it's £250.

Seemingly putting the word 'Pro' in front of anyting these days in the cricket world means people can charge more and will get it, as some people get sucked in.

The 'Players' thing is interesting too. What does it mean? Aren't we all players?

The term Player is generally meant for a really good player, round my way at least. As in...'Is he any good?'....'Yeah, he's a serious player'.

I don't mind a 'Pro series' etc, it's more every other bat being termed a pro bat, because an overseas opening bowler who bats 9 in an ECB Prem.somewhere once used it.

A kit that perfectly represents a team that has won 1 of its last 17 tests.  Looks like a League Two football kit
