Adidas have become the new kit supplier to the England cricket team after taking over from Admiral. The kits were made available on the 23rd April, and the deal includes three main strips. A white test kit, a red Twenty20 kit and a blue ODI kit. After finding success with supplying the Australian cricket team, the German manufacturer has now widened their cricket reputation after this 5-year deal with England. The kits all feature the last est apparel technology, which players believe will greatly enhance the cricketing performance. Kevin Pietersen said “to beat opposition, you need to have those one-per-centers, and Adidas gives us that”.
Some controversary has been caused however, by the new test jumpers which are not designed like the traditional “woolies” that England have worn for many years. On the other hand, purists should not be put off too much by the changes because the new test whites are as white as ever!
The kits all feature CLIMACOOL® technology, which “uses advanced moisture management fabrics and ventilation channels to keep the body cool, dry and comfortable.”
England will first be seen wearing the kits this summer, which starts off with an other New Zealand test series.
