In a surprising move, the jersey ditches the team’s usual gold and black colour scheme for a predominantly green design. This marks the first time Australia will sport a green jersey in a T20 World Cup tournament.

The new kit features a dark green hue with a subtle gradient on the torso, complemented by gold underarm sections. The iconic Walkabout Wickets artwork, a staple on Australian cricket attire since 2016, remains prominently displayed on the side panels.

“Going green! Australia’s #T20WorldCup kit is confirmed,” declared Cricket Australia’s official social media channels, alongside photos of players sporting the new jersey.

The switch to green is seen by many as a symbolic gesture ushering in a new era for Australian T20 cricket. The team has enjoyed immense success in recent years, but some fans believe a change in approach is needed to maintain dominance.

“The green jersey signifies a fresh start for the T20 squad,” said a spokesperson for Cricket Australia. “We’re excited for the team to take the field in this bold new kit and make a statement at the World Cup.”

Social media reactions

The new jersey has sparked a wave of reactions online. While some fans have praised the bold design, others have expressed a preference for the traditional colours.

“Love the new kit! It’s fresh and different,” commented one fan on social media. “Not a fan of the green,” said another. “Gold and black is classic Aussie.”

Regardless of initial reactions, the green jersey is sure to be a talking point as the Australian team embarks on their T20 World Cup campaign.
