Taking a cue from Cricket Australia, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has announced their Black Caps cricket fans now have the chance to vote for their team’s favourite retro kit for next summer.
Starting today, New Zealand cricket fans around the globe can vote their choice of kit from four options, as part of the #PickTheKit campaign similar to what Cricket Australia ran over the past few weeks, which resulted in Australian cricket lovers overwhelmingly choosing the 1999 World Cup-winning yellow and gold outfit for next summer’s Australia vs New Zealand series which includes ODIs and T20Is.

Four options from past Black Caps series have been chosen by NZC – the Beige of the 1980s, the Horizontal Hoop ensemble from 1990 which was worn in the lead-up to the 1992 World Cup, the Black Shouldered kit from 1993-94, and the Teal of the late 90s worn by the 1999 World Cup New Zealand team.
