New Zealand's new uniform

How can that possibly be acceptable? Loved NZ uniforms of old, but I won't be buying a replica this time around..

Its nearly impossible to go wrong with the colours NZ have. For years they have had great kits.

This on the other hand is terrible.

Yeah the new uniform is really looking bad, and i am sure they won't be wearing this one for too long, but still didn't the manufacturers realise that this kit looks like **** when they were designing it.

Dreadful. What was wrong with their current one? Their current one is probably the best uniform in world cricket.

Would suggest that it would possibly look better if it were modelled by Kyle Mills rather than Scott Styris and Chris Martin.

Meh. I've seen worse. :mellow:

Then again I don't have to look at it with that much regularity over the next 12 months.

As I said on the other thread, Canterbury of NZ seems intent on ruining every uniform they're involved with. With the Irish and Aussie rugby jerseys, they seemed to put on a strange strip (which looked more like nipple protectors) which just turned the jerseys into a mottled mess. If they were after a point of difference, they've certainly achieved that.

It doesn't reflect New Zealand. It looks like a club uniform or something. It seems to have got rid of the feeling of national pride through the uniform. We should start calling them the Tirau Magpies or something. The old one looked good and was the best effort. They could have made the white a light grey or something instead of the bright white.

This reminds me of when Australia changed their uniform a few years ago. Like other people have said, why would you bother changing it if there is nothing wrong with it? Its not the worst uniform I've seen but the old uniform was definitely better.

:laugh:

It may well look a teensy bit better on McCullum, but then he'd look good in anything :D

Canterbury make excellent kits.
