5 of the worst looking cricket jerseys

#1 West Indies (World Series 1979-1980)

It is tough to beat this one. This jersey has to top the list for being the ugliest. The West Indies had taken part in the World Series in 1979-1980 where day-night cricket was introduced and they amused the fans with their flashing pink strips as much as with their cricket.

The idea was to have a jersey which would signify the islands marine diversity but the ‘coral pink’ wear turned out to be quite a disaster.

Commentator Tony Cozier too got involved in a controversy when he said, “It’s a colour which carries strong homosexual overtones in the Caribbean.” It really must have been funny watching the tear-away West Indies pacers running around in pinks.
