The one common denominator for mine is all our red and yellow jerseys are the worst.
A few years ago in Sydney there was a controversy when the A league (Australia’s soccer comp) introduced a team with an almost identical colour combo to the North Sydney bears NRL team, a fairly popular heritage club which was banished from the league due to politics and finances,
It caused an uproar as the new west Sydney soccer team was accused of being slightly disrespectful to Sydney (remember that Sydney is Rugby League obsessed) and it was touchy as the bears were looking at ways to return to the top comp.
But anyway, the reason I bring this up is the new Sydney team defended themselves by saying they embarked on a worldwide market research campaign to choose their colours, western Sydney is huge so they were backed to the hilt with funding, and that the colour scheme most popular worldwide with all age groups was
black and red and this is why they took the colour scheme. Nothing to do with the bears.
So if black and red is the most popular base colour combo, and we have had some great black and red based zim designs in the past, why did we move away from these beautiful kits that habe t
the best resonation worldwide for sporting colours?
No other cricket nation (maybe HK?) adopts the red and black combo,
So if Zimbabwe are fair Dinkum in trying to look good and make a bit of retail coin with the shirts, why aren’t we looking at capitalising before someone else does?

Ps.
How good nostalgia is watching that?
Cricket has lost a little of its prestige.
