I’m not overly fussed but yeah if I had my time over I’d have kept it clean

The shade of green across the Star's players kits and the pads is inconsistent tonight

i don't think it's supposed to be red, it's 'neon red' or something
It would be like Gold Coast changing their blue to navy, way too close to Adelaide and in this case from a glance, they just looked like the sixers last night. It's lucky they have red helmets though I suppose.

Another peculiarity was the Renegades wearing black pads. So we now know it's logistically feasible for the Scorchers, Thunder, Strikers and Sixers to have two sets to match whichever colour of pants they're wearing but they choose not to.

The different coloured pads is a design element i would've thought?

Strikers' pads have always been dark blue on light pants.

I thought it was an oversight by whoever had the 'bright' idea to make every team wear coloured (non-black) pants this season, but now it seems perhaps not.
They wore matching pants in WBBL|04, which looked way better. And they've always been black pads, just like Australia's T20I team or what the Hurricanes used to wear.

Chose not to or told not to? I suspect it's likely the latter.
amazing how much of a difference the black sleeves make to the scorchers uniform, the orange pants don’t actually look too bad with the black sleeves and side panels

Yeah it definitely breaks up the Netherlands vibe

Now that just depresses me...why do we have to cop this crap with the BBL when NZ and England are so much better??

Hopefully this wakes the BBL up. The logos and kits far surpass the BBL.

BBL uniforms could be executed better (heaps better) but in terms of general branding, no other cricket league in the world is anywhere near as effective.
The Super Smash, the Hundred and the CPL etc all look like each other. And then in the IPL you have the Super Royals, the Mega Kings, the Giant Knights and the Royal Royalties all basically wearing blue with gold-plated accents. Terrible.

What the BBL had going for it was that each team was to be defined by a colour that was not respresentive of the state or city they were situated in. However, the BBLs push to only have that colour on their kits is wrong, with need a secondary colour to help with identity. The BBL should have gone against the black/white trend and asked teams to pick a different secondary colour.
The SuperSmash, Hundred and CPL are all representative leagues. They represent the area they are from, and have a majority of the players from that district, county, and country. This means an identity is already there and must be retained. The IPL is purely a franchise league, with no state representation in teams. Virat is from Delhi, plays for RCB; MS from Jharkhand, plays for CSK.
I think the over use of blue in the IPL comes from blue being the main sporting colour in India, having that nation pride is what is important when setting up a new team. This is the main reason many of the Big 4 teams use red or blue as part of their kits or logos.
Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata are the only teams to use blue as their primary colour in the IPL. Whilst Chennai and Rajasthan use blue as a secondary colour. Rajasthan changed its primary colour from Royal Blue to Pink at the start of the 2018 season as they felt too many teams had blue as a good primary colour.

I'm confident that's the best part. Secondary colours would only muddle each team's branding and consequently make the BBL look like every other league.
The bad things about the current BBL uniforms are: team logos are under-utilised; no unique minor details; some teams wearing black pads with coloured pants; Majestic.

Are you suggesting the Scorchers and Sixers look better without the black elements of their strips?

I like these variations. Same for coloured pads with black pants. Mix it all up.

My humble suggestion is they (and any other team) should wear black pants if they're going to wear black pads.
I think it looks like try-hard local level stuff, could just be me.
