The Oreos?
The coconuts?


Because we are half black half white...

If to controversial -
Zimboks
Predators
Pitbulls
Starbirds (coz of the logo)

I like starbirds, at the very least it should be what the womans team is called

Cheeky^

Speaking of the kit.... Who feels as If there's too much red these days.

I think zim should go predominately black, with red and maybe a nbit of green thrown in there

My fav cricket shirt of all time is a blackish zim shirt. Having the bird and star As the backdrop looks good too

Flame Lily is the national flower of Zimbabwe

The Flame Lilies can be a suitable nickname if the team is winning. The football team (that has only reached the African Nations Cup only once) is called the Warriors, go figure.

Thanks criminal avenger I was trying to find that thread but couldn't be stars looking over the iPhone - it's hard to do.

The one I refer to is the 93-94 one. Sickest shit I've seen on a sport uniform. Remindsme of the sqld crushers league team in the mid 90s.

Taste is personal but I liked it.

Also in my opinion zim shirts have gone from awesome to crap. We have kits both sides of the spectrum.
