Black and red has been proven scientifically to be the most attractive combo in sport. We are one of the only (if not only) international cricket teams that can adopt this. So why aren’t we?
All the best Zim kits I can recall were black heavy.
HK have had a few very classy red and black numbers in recent years.
I wish we could just keep it simple. Less is more.
I knew I forgot about them.
But they are very black heavy (in kit colour) arent they? last time i checked they were.
If we went for a predominant red heavy team kit, then thats a huge opportunity in sports marketing terms.
We already use red as our base colour.
Im guessing team colours is an afterthought, but this is such a huge gaping opportunity to get right.
Especially for kids, team jerseys are huge.
The 1995/6 Benson and hedges series between OZ,OZ A, Zim and England was a huge reason I followed both Zimbabwe and cricket. All those get ups were fantastic. All same theme too.

The 90's used to get so much right. Everything made sense and shit wasnt always so divisive (Murali aside, but at least in Oz everyone was on the same page he was cheating).

The progress in terms of marketing, sponsorship and preparation being shown by Zim Rugby (Sables and Cheetahs) just goes to expose ZC's incompetence. Even in a tough economy, Zimbabwe rugby has shown with the right people in charge, all things are possible. The Sables have just bagged a $200K sponsorship and will participate in the South african domestic tournament (Currie cup) as prep for their world cup qualifier. All is possible, just shitty people in charge of our game.
Yeah, agree. Red prominence is necessary. Even I liked 3 and 7 out of these. And 5 is not bad either. 3 would have made more sense if tigers were prominent in Zim
But all of these are more imaginative than some of the recent ZC stuff

Yeah, 3 gives off Bangladesh vibes. I reckon if you take number 7 and change the top half the same shade of red -without all the other stuff- as the rest of the kit and keep those 3 yellow line across the middle to bottom, and also on the sleeve, you'd have a winner.
Anything is better than ZC produces. Our kits have lost all edge since the days of Faith Wear making them.
