NZ v WI 2020: New Zealand unveil new jersey for the T20Is against West Indies

New Zealand has unveiled a new jersey that will be worn by its players during the upcoming T20I series against the West Indies. The Black Caps have made slight changes to the kit that was worn during their last series.

The basic color of the jersey is the traditional black with two thick grey blocks going from bottom left to top right. There are also shades of grey on the collar and back.

This is different from the T20I jersey that the New Zealand players wore last in their series against India earlier this year. The whole body of the jersey was a shade of grey with the sleeves and a horizontal block across the chest in black.

West Indies had also unveiled a new jersey last week

The visiting West Indies had also unveiled their new jersey last week which will be worn during the T20I series against New Zealand.

The jersey has a predominance of yellow on the body with the base remaining the traditional maroon color which fans associate with the West Indies.

The abundance of the yellow geometric pattern on the body is a major difference from the completely maroon jerseys that we have seen the West Indies players in.
