Can anyone post the front side of the jersey.

Does this mean Pepsi will no longer be sponsoring T20 kit of Pakistan??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Disgusting

 

[Aman]

Looks awful tbh, seems like something that would fit in the early 2000s. Not something you'd see in 2018.

 

[bilawal666]

Another new kit? Pakistan is the only team to change it's kit for every new series. Quite unnecessary in my opinion...I wonder how long this one will last

pepsi is still the main sponsor

 

[ammar_merry]

you can see the colours used in the kit is exactly like PTCL logo colours.
May be PCB is taking extra money to highlight sponsors colours.

 

[bilawal666]

I just think it's unprofessional to make such a pointless change for a little extra money. I'm not impressed, it shows inconsistency and also makes us look cheap.

 

[babajee]

The CT kit was iconic and should have been kept for a year at least

 

[Sean143]

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

They are getting worse and worse.

 

[Syed1]

This is beyond garbage

 

[htariq25]

Ikr. We have had 3 kits in 6 months. Its going crazy.

 

[htariq25]

I bet from now on it will be a new kit every series. Tbh it's already been like that for a while.

 

[Sean143]

 

[Nado_]

Am i the only one who thinks this kit looks awesome?

 

[sadida97]

Don't really like them

 

[Kroll]

The striped design is pretty unique. Will reserve my judgment.

 

[aloo paratha]

It's not terrible, but the CT should've stayed.

 

[ammar_merry]

Am i the only one who thinks this kit looks awesome?

no

 

[GrandMaster]

Does other major team have these kind of unveiling ceremony?

 

[Rana]

Hooray, our Pakistani manufacturers got the contract to design the kit. Pakistan is the winner at the end of the day, hooorayy hoooorayyy

 

[Rana]

Does other major team have these kind of unveiling ceremony?

Well if they are made by Nike or Adidas I would say why not?

 

[big_gamer007]

Seems ok is there any pic of any players wearing it? Would make more sense seeing someone wear it..

 

[ego-gambit]

Logo cool cool is not looking cool there

 

[UN talkz]

 

[Hamad_H]

The front looks really nice but the white sticker just above the name on the back just makes the kit look a little bit more like club level.

 

[DoosraTeesra]

This is next level ugly. WHY THEY CAN'T KEEP CT17 Kit? That was the best man. Come on

 

[StreetSmart]

Ugliest kit ever

 

[Acricfan]

Beyond Horrendous..

 

[Professor]

The last kit we had was pretty good, why change it?

 

[ammar_merry]

The last kit we had was pretty good, why change it?

this is only for t20s.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Someone fire the designer!

 

[Suleiman]

Why don't we stop after we've made a good kit? What's the point of randomly throwing paint on a shirt, slapping a logo on it and calling it a kit, series after series after series?

Mods, if anyone of you do an interview with any PCB heads please ask them this question.

The 2017 home series kit was good imo, the CT 2017 kit was fine as well, hell, the 2016 Asia Cup kit was just brilliant and we could've stopped there, do these idiots actually care about the fans' feedback on this or do they just have some weird fetish to keep pumping out these garbage quality kits.

No other team does this sort of crap.

 

[CricFan2012]

Absolute trash, might stop supporting the T20 team just because of this kit /s

 

[Sherlock]

Looks like the T-Rex attacked the front of the shirt...

 

[Sherlock]

Btw before anyone gets upset [they always seem to] remember these kits get changed every few series'. Expect a few batch on here to moan & groan in the next few months too.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Lol seems like they picked up a random dude from Lighthouse Karachi to design the kit )

 

[shady]

Actually really liked the kit we used vs Sri Lanka, not sure why they felt the need to change it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Looks like one of those fake tops your family sends you from Pakistan.

Beyond words how rubbish this looks.

 

[Big Mac]

The names/numbers on the back look awful

 

[kingusama92]

This is in competition for the worst kit of all time.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is in competition for the worst kit of all time.

I would love to know which kit comes close so there is a competition?

 

[kingusama92]

I would love to know which kit comes close so there is a competition?

True.

The only one I can think of is the one PAK rocked in the late 90s. It had random blue lines going down the front and back.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Why does the PCB always ask for new kits styles to be made. Last one was fine

 

[bilawal666]

Why don't we stop after we've made a good kit? What's the point of randomly throwing paint on a shirt, slapping a logo on it and calling it a kit, series after series after series?

I second that!

Maybe they are changing sponsors. Maybe this change is dictated by the new sponsor.

 

[yasir]

There is no character, no taste to PCB Jerseys. Why they have to keep changing kits??

There has to be some culture, tradition to the Jersey for national team. There is nothing as far as Pakistan is concerned

 

[giri26]

Looks okay to be honest, not great but not as ugly as people make it out to be.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Well if they are made by Nike or Adidas I would say why not?

Indian Jersey is made by Nike but even they dont unveil jerseys as often as PCB does. Last i checked they did was back in 2015 for WC that too was just a couple of photographs on the rooftop of MCG/SCG.

 

[ExplicitAI]

This one is beyond horrendous. The blue kit we had for the T20 series against World XI was one of the best kits I've ever seen, was really looking forward to seeing that one but instead we got a new one which looks horrible.

 

[Titan24]

I always love the light and dark green combo, not sure about the front stripes though but we will have to see it on a player to make a judgement.

I was apprehensive about many previous kits but to be honest most of them looked good in matches.

 

[Suleiman]

This is in competition for the worst kit of all time.

Easily the worst of all time. This one makes the lime green WC 2015 one look like the mona lisa of cricket kits.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Did a two year old design this? Looks absolutely awful...

 

[Syed1]

Someone fire the designer!

They first need to hire one... This seems like the job of a 12 year old trying their hand on MS Paint.

 

[sl-fan-of-pak]

View attachment 77658

looks like a walking wicket (three stripes) ... a lot of thought put in to this while designing lolll

 

[Red Devil]

Ew, that PTCL logo looks awful.

 

[Red Devil]

There's no cohesiveness or theme in the design. Just random, oversized logos thrown together.

 

[Snak3eye5]

Didn't someone mention this was made in Pakistan by a Pakistani designer ? Why can't there be some support ?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Why do they have to change kits every series?Stick with one for a couple of years at least!

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Seriously

Koi sharam hoti hai koi haya hoti hai

Previous kit was sooo good and now this............

 

[msb314]

This kit looks rubbish

The best one IMO was the 2009 World T20 one.

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic

 

[Varun]

The batsmen will look like walking wickets....literally.

 

[Saj]

Looks like a football shirt.

The dark green and black combination looks a bit odd, but sometimes these kits look poor in pictures but are better when the team wears them.

 

[JohnWick25]

Oh the originality...

 

[KyoOne]

Horrible design

 

[MenInG]

All this fuss about kits. Sometimes, us fans behave like kids!

A Pakistani team winning series after series can wear what they like

 

[Azlan Khan]

Not the worst of a kit, imo.

 

[shane]

If the quality of the kit decided series then NZ have already won 5-0. Their kit against WI is one of the best I've ever seen. Pakistan's new one lacks imagination and is mostly just boring.

 

[UP]

This is okayish.

NZ kits have been just amazing since 2012.

 

[hussain.r97]

I won't comment on how it is until they actually wear it, though that PTCL logo is an eyesore.

 

[J-Essence]

I heard they recycle and combine the previous kits so forgive them for their lack of creativity in design.

 

[J-Essence]

Looks like one of those fake tops your family sends you from Pakistan.

Beyond words how rubbish this looks.

Are you talking about the ones that make you itch?

 

[MenInG]

Lets see if the new kit has an effect on our fortunes!

 

[indipper]

Lets see if the new kit has an effect on our fortunes!

Yes, will blend us with grass in a better manner after such embarassing performances.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Lets see if the new kit has an effect on our fortunes!

before the tour u said the team winning series after series can wear what they like... now looking for fortunes with new kits..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Oh the originality...

this looks good.. had they continued the stripes on the shoulder part like the nzl one it would have been good.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Looks like a random football kit from Italian league
