Opening post

For those that are interested, I see you can buy the Ihsan Zimbabwe kit online from them (top and trousers). They make them in Sialkot, Pakistan I think.

I want to get some shirts for myself and my friend.

Shipping is like 45 USD per item internationally :oops:

Anyone live in Pakistan, can you help me out? Is this a fair rate?

Hoping we will be wearing a decent shirt this season, not the sick jokes of the last 2. Why can't ZC take a leaf out of the Sables and sack who ever has been designing our kits.

Surely one of the worst Zimbabwe kits I've ever seen 🤦‍♂️. Usually Zimbabwe kits are good.

I actually really liked the orange kit we had in 2008. It was something different and a bit of a throw back to the 1990's.

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 s**t wasnt always so divisive (Murali aside, but at least in Oz everyone was on the same page he was cheating).

These are some nice red and black numbers;

But yellow is very much part of our colours so I'd like to see subtle yellow detailing and edges if possible.

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 s***ty people in charge of our game.
Has the Zim Test shirt ever been produced for fans? I would actually get that over the ODI/T20I one.

Not officially I don’t think. But if you went to the shop at HSC and offered to pay enough I’m sure someone would find one to sell
Thank you! Will pay them a visit.

I have a couple for sale


Is this still an option open? Very interested in purchasing some of old jerseys for decent money. Happy to discuss with anyone!

Cheers,

J.
