Get your kit on! A look at the CT17 uniforms

Australia

Australia brought back the ‘Aussie Gold’ for the 2015 World Cup on home soil and it’s a look they have stuck with since in the one-day arena.

Their Champions Trophy uniform is the same strip that Australia wore in their home one-day international series against New Zealand and Pakistan last summer, and on the road in the return ODIs against the Black Caps.

Australia skipper Steve Smith will be hoping the predominantly gold Asics kit produces the same result as that 2015 World Cup, when the Aussies hoisted the trophy after defeating New Zealand in the final.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh have not one, but two options for this tournament in the United Kingdom.

One of several countries to have included a clash strip in their repertoire, Bangladesh’s main kit features their traditional green with red detailing.

It’s unclear if they’ll don their clash strip at any stage, with group matches against Australia, England and New Zealand, but should it be called upon, Bangladesh will wear a primarily red shirt with green sleeves.

England

England have introduced a brand-new ODI uniform for the tournament on home soil, bringing back some red after several years in a predominantly blue kit. This home summer, Eoin Morgan’s men are donning a navy blue shirt fading into red at the waist.

At any rate, it’s an improvement on the all-red uniform they donned in the 2013 tournament, when they lost to India by five runs in Birmingham.

India

Virat Kohli’s men have been a model of consistency when it comes to team kits in recent years and their new Champions Trophy uniform is no difference. Again predominately blue, their ODI shirt features a slightly darker shade on the sleeves, separated by a thin strip of tricolour.

New Zealand

After several years of donning uniforms laced with blue, New Zealand have returned to their traditional black and white approach for the Champions Trophy.

It’s simple, it’s classy and there’s no need for a clash strip here.

Pakistan

After the dark green of their 2013 Champions Trophy uniform and lurid shade from the 2015 World Cup, Pakistan have settled somewhere in the middle, with an understated look for the 2017 tournament.

South Africa

South Africa have stuck closely to the uniform they wore on their rise to the No.1 spot in the ICC ODI rankings as they seek to break their hoodoo at ICC events in the United Kingdom.

They have made one key addition, however, with the motif of a protea featuring on the front of the shirt.

AB de Villiers’ team also appear to have opted for a clash strip, with pre-tournament player photographs revealing the bright-yellow kit typically worn by the Proteas in Twenty20 Internationals.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka are another team to have unveiled not one but TWO new outfits during their photoshoot ahead of the tournament. One is presumably a clash outfit, perhaps to be donned against India, who also wear blue.
