Ugly kit. It’s evident that they tried to make it look the 99 world cup kit but failed badly. The star is nowhere near as splendid as the one on the 99 kit. Why can’t they keep it simple? The previous kit was SO GOOD! It’s like they handed a 12 year old boy with absolutely NO creativity the job to design it. Why is there so much yellow in there anyway?

Shirt is Ok type but the trouser is really awfuullll and has a bad shade of green color, badly designed specially from Hip, it looked as if the players have made it dirty while playing :P

It seems whoever was sewing the kits ran out of green material, hence the horrible bright yellow across every crickter’s hips :) The sewing staff purchased the yellow material at bargain basement prices :)
Handsome Shahid Afridi can even makes a substandard kit look very fashionable :) Boom Boom actually makes this kit look half way decent as he wears it :)
Kit designers should have stuck to the old kit or, if they were really in the mood to try something new, they could have enhanced the grey kit the Pakistan cricket team was wearing a couple of days ago during practice sessions…
Perhaps Shahid Afridi’s team of Widyaan designers should design the next kits for the team? Widyaan staff will make the team look awesome!!
