Aussies: Men in Black

After a winning sojourn in Australian Gold against South Africa, Steve Smith's men are back in black for the World T20
Australia will again wear a black strip in the World T20 as they seek to claim the one global trophy that has eluded the men's team.  It is the same strip that Australia wore in January's KFC T20 INTL series against India - with subtle changes to appease International Cricket Council sponsorship regulations.  Steve Smith's men had worn gold during the recent 2-1 T20 series win against South Africa, continuing their tradition of wearing gold away from home. They also wore gold last winter in the one-off T20 against England in Cardiff. However, black was deemed Australia's colour of choice for the world event. It will also mark the first time the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars have worn a black strip as they seek an incredible fourth consecutive Women's World T20 title.

I don't understand the reasoning between all this decisions. They were a different uniform while playing at home and another one playing outside. They have a different color for playing different formats. I mean what is the used of this. I have always related Australia to yellow/gold. Why they can't be teams like India or WI with a constant color. It's too confusing.

it's call merchandising, cricket is catching on to what other sporting events have been doing

Black looks more menacing than yellow, IMO. I like the black shirts with a collar, not so sure on those green stripes on the side.

A few other random thoughts:

It looks like a strobe light party broke out on Bangladesh's shirt.

I like the red and navy contrasting combination for England, but no collar on a shirt is unforgiveable.

Poor Scotland having to play with kilts, as if they are not at a big enough disadvantage as it is  The tartan sleeves gets two thumbs up, however.

Oh dear, Zimbabwe. Have they ever had a decent World Cup shirt? They have had some real shockers through the years.
