New 2012 Kits

Cricket related Middlesex news has been fairly thin on the ground recently, but MCCC have just released the images for the 2012 kits, so in order to justify having this blog, here they are.

Middlesex and England's Strauss, Finn and Morgan (not that one) show off the 2012 kits

So there they are. Let's start with:

The whites

The County Championship kit, expertly modelled by Straussy, looks fairly similar to previous year's offerings, but with a few subtle differences. The first, and most obvious, is the new sponsor, Brooks Macdonald, who were unveiled as the new three year sponsors this morning. The kit itself is a very white white (as opposed to the creams and greys seen at other counties), and there is a bit more navy trim than before. All in all, a very nice effort.


The pinks

The T20 kit is, from what I can see, exactly the same as last years, but with the new sponsor replacing Ignis. No longer the baby pink of years gone by, the much darker hue of pink matches the shirt of Pinky the Panther, and more importantly, the charity that it supports. (Just a note, hopefully there will be trousers with the matching colours this year, rather than the 'old' pink. On an OCD level, that really annoyed me.)



The quarters

After the years of the pink-and-navy quartered shirts, the new Harlequins inspired effort may take some getting used to, especially amongst the traditionalists. It's certainly a new direction for the one day kit, and so far the jury's out. But as long at the Panthers tear up the CB40 in it, I'm sure not many will care what the shirt looks like!


All shirts (and plenty more besides) are available in the Middlesex shop, and online
