Opening post

Bit ironic that they get this sponsorship the day of the royal baby....

Which too came from a royal stag.

Has anybody seen the lancashire ODI kit ? Was watching them at Old trafford last night and thought how good Zimbabwe's kit would look if they took a leaf out the Lancashire's books

That's pretty smart, if you get rid of the thunderbolts.

The reason our kit is so generic is because we have no kit supplier. No company is willing to pay the money to supply the zim team with kit as they see no reward in it for them.

My favourite kit was the 03/04 kit.

That's the classic one. The one Eddo is wearing in your profile pic also had no sponsors by the looks of it, but still was a way better design than the current red overdose.

Ive still got that kit as well. I just looked at it and you right, there is no kit maker. However, it think it was a time when kits in series had to be the same design, so i may be mistaken but England had the same design that series?? We also had a proper ZCU Logo back then.

Weve had some good ones down the years.

That 96 kit is just sublime.

What on earth were we thinking in 97.

Also cant help, but that pic i put up of Eddo in that 96 series. Look at the crowd. Its a sell out. Long gone are the days i guess.

Looking at that thread, things went downward from about 2004 onward, same time the rebels went on strike, same time the board changed the longer and same time things went all haywire. Bit of a trend really.

1997 shirt was for the tour of NZ I believe. Back then all the touring sides to NZ wore shirts with that same design, but different colour schemes, perhaps suggesting that NZC was doing the designing and not ZC.
