#5 South Africa - 7/10
One look at Faf du Plessis in South Africa's jersey for the Champions Trophy and you'd think he's an Abercrombie model and not an international cricketer at the peak of his powers. The way in which he effortlessly pulls off the stylish South African jersey only highlights that he has a career in fashion if he ever calls time on his cricketing career.
It is easy to get off point while looking at Faf, let's get back to the matter at hand. The jersey, well, the home jersey, at least (SA have two to play with in this tournament), the one they wore in the opening game against Sri Lanka accentuates the beauty in which tradition has been infused with modernity. While the background is still the traditional green colour, it has been enhanced by an intricate design that runs through the front of the jersey.
In fact, it is one of the best jerseys that the country have worn and the only reason why they are not higher on this list, is because of their other jersey. The one that looks like someone forgot to paint the whole picture or just remembered this wasn't right halfway through and left it as it was. The strong yellow backdrop also evokes memories of the Australian jersey, which is the last thing a South African fan would want.
