Saintsfan Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 For those Americans and others who don't follow crcket closely, the New Zealanders have a group of fans called the 'Beige Brigade' who were the old style beige NZ one daqy shirt to games. So to celelbrate the launch of international 20-20 cricket the NZ team decided to wear the beige outfits and Australia followed suit by usingf a retro design as well. it will be iunteresting tro see what is used for the 20-20 match between Austrralia and England in June. I wold liove to see England in a podwer blue and navy outfit from the early 80s! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr79 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I own one of those shirts already! FILA has been selling them this summer with the old WSC badge on them (the three black stumps under the red ball) as a retro item. They just threw the current sponsors/badges onto them for the 20/20 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plattopus Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I was slightly disappointed at the amount of effort the Aussies went to... the only one getting into it was Kaspa with his Lillee impersonation. The Kiwis went above and beyond with their mutton chops, porno moustaches and that one monumental afro. But it was without a doubt the most entertaining night of cricket I've ever seen. Played in great spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
