Also breaking news, our friends across the ditch have decided to nick our idea of retro kits and are currently voting on a retro kit to wear in the ODI series vs Australia next years?

Is this a question or a statement.
The first retro cricket kit I remember was in the first T20I at Eden Park where the Blackcaps and the Aussies both wore them.

The Teal Fern is my favourite. Would look perfect against our Southern Cross - real late-90's vibes. Grey Hoop has already made the final

So long as they're simple fonts (like the AFL and Sheffield Shield numbers) not like the Asics limited-overs kit numbers, I'm happy.

Not really sure this adds besides extra cash from shirt sales.
Then it adds everything that the game wants.

Gotta say it was easier when the same players played for 3 years straight!

Not bad except for the unnecessary skiddy.
I’m not sure about the Kermit green either especially since it’s different to the shade used in the wordmark. I’d like it more if they’d kept it simple with the one darker green.

This is awful. This is the World Cup we are playing in. Not some random ODI tournament that no one cares about. Retro is not the way to go. They obviously got carried away after the series against India, but this is just downright ugly. Please bring back the 2015 wc kit. PLEASE.

It's alright I guess, I personally wouldn't go for a retro look for T20 given it's only recent conception. Black, gold and green should always be in our T20 kits, sets them apart from our other kits and looks great together.

The best looking retro Aussie ODI kits were from the mid to late 90s. Why do we keep harking back to the boring 70s and 80s kits?
This is fine apart from the mismatched greens. One dark green would have been better.

I hope they revert to the lemon lids. The bottle green helmets aren't gonna match this kermit green.

On the plus side for CA, they can be re-used again this summer when we wear the '99 WC kit against NZ at home this summer
same, apparently its for the ODI series against the kiwis in the summer.
