A First for World Cricket: Fans influence design of Official Pakistan Kit

[AZ]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Boom Boom, Pakistan’s official cricket kit suppliers, have today launched Pakistan’s impressive new kit, in time for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Pakistan’s new kit looks and feels different, and it is – for the first time ever, the cricket kit of a major cricketing nation has been designed with the involvement and input of the average cricket fan.

Ironically, in the past it is that ‘fan’, the passionate follower on the street, who would proudly wear his country’s colours to every match, but who hitherto had no voice in the process at all!

So how did Pakistan end up as the pioneer in bringing the fans into this process? Simply, by listening to “PakPassion.net”, the acclaimed ‘voice’ of Pakistani cricket fans the world over.

Founded in June 2000 by a few die-hard Pakistani cricket fans, PakPassion (“PP”) has grown from its humble beginnings to become Pakistan’s premier cricket discussion forum, and the place to be for cricket fans from the world over. PakPassion’s 37,000 + members come from all corners of the world; from established cricketing nations such as England, Pakistan, India, Australia and New Zealand, as well as other regions where cricket is not yet established, including the USA, Canada, the Middle East, Italy, Germany and even Japan and the Maldives!

This diverse and truly global membership makes PakPassion a lot more than just the leading Pakistani website on the whole internet; it also makes it the best place to discuss cricket and all issues related to cricket.

PakPassion’s history and huge fan base, and its close involvement with all aspects of cricket in Pakistan, has also made it the best source of articles, interviews and other exclusives on all aspects of Pakistan cricket – leading global news organisations rely on interviews and quotes generated by PakPassion on key cricketing events.

PakPassion has strong links with everyone involved in Pakistan cricket - not just the star players and the senior officials, but also the emerging and younger players and the domestic performers, the regional coaches, administrators, academy professionals, umpires, fitness trainers, agents, marketing companies, etc – all welcome being provided with a voice on PP and a forum to interact with cricket fans.

With this background, it is no surprise that PakPassion and Boom Boom's designers have collaborated on the new Pakistan kit. The fans at PP are passionate about all aspects of the Pakistan team, including the kit and equipment being used by the players.

Cricket clothing and equipment, just like the game of cricket itself, is constantly evolving, in particular at the highest levels: kit designs and fabrics, bats, pads and protective equipment, are all improving as modern materials and technology is utilised to the fullest extent possible by kit and equipment manufacturers.

Hence, many avid cricket followers watch international cricket not just for the live action and the result; they are also constantly on the look-out for new trends and developments in clothing and equipment.

With this background, PP carried out an extensive exercise a few months ago for the global fans of Pak cricket to contribute their ideas on what Pakistan's kit for the 2011 ICC World Cup should look like. Given PP’s strong links with the PCB and with Boom Boom, the best of these ideas were communicated to Boom Boom's designers for their input and implementation.

PakPassion is delighted to report that Boom Boom took the passionate Pakistani fans’ feedback fully on board and have duly listened to the ‘voice of the cricket fan’.

We can now exclusively reveal that the new Pakistan kit for the ICC 2011 Cricket World Cup, being launched today, was inspired by designs submitted by amateur designers and cricket fans on PakPassion in conjunction with Boom Boom's design team! This is a huge achievement not just for PakPassion and our in-house graphics designer Waleed Mushtaq whose designs inspired Boom Boom, but also for all PP members, and more broadly, for all cricket fans.

PakPassion welcomes Boom Boom Managing Director Mr. Ali Ehsan’s pro-activeness in listening to the Pakistani cricket fans, and providing them a say in designing the Pakistan Cricket Shirt for the 2011 World Cup and beyond.

Playing Kit

[Sunny786]

Woah. I'm impressed.

[Sledger]

Good job done by Boom Boom, well done to them for taking consumer feedback on. Probably the best WC kit since 99.

Loving the training kit design.

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Nice i like it.. how do i order mine now ?

[Paradox]

Wow! This is actually superb!

In the words of Nasser.. "brilliant from Boom Boom!" :afridi

[MIG]

Good job done by Boom Boom, well done to them for taking consumer feedback on. Probably the best WC kit since 99.

Loving the training kit design.

Now win the bl'dy thing ! :D

[ScotRaz]

I love the one with the PEPSI logo, but I think its the training kit.

MIG do you know if the both the tops will be on sale??

[Hando]

Must say, at first I didn't like it at all, but I've grown on it a bit, it's just that I feel they forced the Crescent on wasn't needed. But oh well, any kit which Shoaib is going to use to bowl 95+ MPH in I will support it !

Mods How about a poll:
Love it
Better then current kit
hate it

[cricket_fan_1]

fan shirt looks much better than the player jersey :)

[saajidrox]

Awesome kit there two designs what the official kit Pakistan team would be wearing?

The things we live for !! Well done to ALL Ppers and our resident designer.

[MIG]

details will be out soon

[IAJ]

MashaAllah great work by Boom Boom, PCB and of course PakPassion.net.

When will the kit be avaiable at PP shop?

[MO]

Dont understand the need for yellow on Pakistan Kit....not impressive at all...the crescent doesn't look good at all.....its about time to drop Boom Boom and get a new sponsor....

[lolpakistan]

which one is the training shirt?

[cricket_fan_1]

when players tuck in those shirts...the crescent will be half visible and half tucked in...don't think that is a good thing considering the religious relevance...

just my opinion :)

[ManHOOS]

good job pakpassion and boom boom

[IAJ]

Ok, so the kit with Pepsi logo on front will be used after the WC or is it mere a training kit?

[ScotRaz]

details will be out soon
No problemo.

I have to say very good job from BOOM BOOM. I just need to find some salt so I can eat my hat, never expected this from them and put them down in a few threads.

Obviously there are still little bits where it could have been different, overall 4/5 :)

[Hando]

They better Win in this kit!

[~Red Devil~]

This is fantastic!! never expected this from Boom Boom


Btw which kit will they wear in the matches? 1st one or the 2nd one

[Sledger]

when players tuck in those shirts...the crescent will be half visible and half tucked in...

Err.. no it won't. Simon Cowell doesn't play for Pakistan.

[Paradox]

Just a bit confused MIG, please clear this up for me, a couple of questions:

1) the LAST photo in the thread OP (the kit with the crescent) is our PLAYING kit, right? Is the crescent going to be used for only the World Cup or will it continue after the World Cup too?

2) the FIRST photo in the thread OP (the one with a yellow stripe on the left, NO crescent) is our training kit, right?

[Sledger]

which kit will they wear during matches?

The one that says 'Pakistan' on it.

[194*]

I think they got a little carried away with the crescent, lol. The training kit is better looking than the match kit - typical.

[Sledger]

Training kit has now been removed from the OP anyway..

[IAJ]

The one that says 'Pakistan' on it.

Well usually they have the big Pepsi logo on the front som I'm a bit confused.

Maybe both are match-kits; that whick says Pakistan on it to be used in WC and the other to be used after the WC?

[Radiance Of Australis]

AMAZING!:D

And even brilliant achievement for PakPassion :D
Finally some black in the kit.

[MIG]

Just a bit confused MIG, please clear this up for me, a couple of questions:

Saj - will clarify that shortly :D

[Green]

Impressed!
Wonder what the players think of it..
Can't wait to see them wearing it!:ahmed

[A.M.]

Well usually they have the big Pepsi logo on the front som I'm a bit confused.

Maybe both are match-kits; that whick says Pakistan on it to be used in WC and the other to be used after the WC?

in icc tournaments it is always the country's name in front

[Paradox]

No, in world tournaments you're NOT allowed to have your sponsor name on the front (Pakistan never has Pepsi on the front in the World T20/World Cup, like they do in usual international games, Australia doesn't have Commonwealth Bank/Victoria Bitter, etc etc.).

[Sledger]

Well usually they have the big Pepsi logo on the front som I'm a bit confused.

Maybe both are match-kits; that whick says Pakistan on it to be used in WC and the other to be used after the WC?

Well the one that says Pakistan on it will be used in the WC. The Pepsi logo is removed from the front with the country's name added instead during major ICC tournaments (T20Wcs, CT etc).

This kit -

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44241000/jpg/_44241985_gul.jpg

was Pakistan's training top during WC 07, but went on to become their official kit after the WC was over.

[A.M.]

Saj - will clarify that shortly :D
the one with pepsi logo in front is the training kit it is written in there fb page

[ScotRaz]

Impressed!
Wonder what the players think of it..
Can't wait to see them wearing it!:ahmed
I'm sure you will see a team photo with the new shirts holding the WC :)

And obviously still wearing the chappels.

[194*]

the training kit (the one with the pepsi logo) looks awesome, I'd love to have that as our match kit, beats any kit in the world right now, including the new indian one!

[taqi]

looks cool

[A.M.]

the training kit (the one with the pepsi logo) looks awesome, I'd love to have that as our match kit, beats any kit in the world right now, including the new indian one!

come on the light green doesnt look good at all

[shoib_superstar]

it's not all that, was expecting it to be much better, but pakistan team will be wearing it so couldn't care less.
lets just hope they win in it.

[Green]

I'm sure you will see a team photo with the new shirts holding the WC :)

And obviously still wearing the chappels.

InshAllah :D
'In Chappals'..

[IAJ]

Yes that's what I am banking on now as well, that the training kit will go on and become our official kit after the WC.

That would be great if it it happend!

[hussnainn]

Nice.. Nice.. Nice.. :D

[IAJ]

Nice..

where is the training kit. I cannot see it :(

see #30

[w8in_4_0402]

WOW! Even our training kit is just worth winning the WC11.

Well done BOOMBOOM.

Where can we buy these kits?? ON 'PP' maybe?

[Love Pakistan]

Not bad. At the end of the day, only performance matters. Insha Allah Pakistan will win the WC 2011.

[iZeeshan]

Proud to be a Pakpassion member today.

Love both kits.

Can't wait to order mine. Please post details soon!

[hussnainn]

M loving the dark green cap.. Awesome!

[Ronnyy]

Its all about the training kit, fantastic design!! What are the chances of this being the official kit after the WC?

[194*]

come on the light green doesnt look good at all

Hey, you prefer the darker one, I prefer the training kit - each to his own. The training kit just seems to catch the eye a bit more, maybe its the yellow streak.

[WNC]

Awesome work atlast by BoomBoom. Great thing the fans' input was taken into consideration. Both the training and official kit are awesome :malik

[ddss]

looks awesome!!!!! great job boomboom :)

[Sherazkhalid]

Well to me training kit is more eye catching than the actual kit. Plus I feel if they had made crescent somewhat smaller and wider it would have been better.

[IAJ]

when players tuck in those shirts...the crescent will be half visible and half tucked in...don't think that is a good thing considering the religious relevance...

just my opinion :)

I was also thinking about that. They have made it jus too big. That is the only minus with this kit.

[ahsansawani]

this is awesome.i love it. best since 99 WC and T/20 2007 WC in my opinion

[the Great Khan]

brilliant..im sure i remember seeing this design ont hat design a kit thread..looks great and i may just part with money for this one..and get one for my son!! thank God the lime green has been banished!!..great work guys!

[Boi]

That just looks wicked. Well done to Boom Boom and everyone else involved in the designing of that kit. Superb stuff!

I hope we get a chance to buy these shirts before the world cup. :D

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

WOW, nice kit.
Good to see the fans input in the kit too (atleast it improved BOOMBOOM's designs :P)

[MIG]

The training kit pics have been mved to another thread.

Thanks

[Muhammad Waleed]

Which shirt is best to put on and win the world cup.?

[Guenon123]

Big congratulations to PP on achieving such a great honor.

I like both of them, they are great but the training kit looks outstanding.

[iZeeshan]

MIG/Saj/AZ bhai

Any idea when the kits will be available for purchase?

[zeikz123]

good job PAKPASSION!!!

[azkhan666]

Looks like Shafqat Rana and Intikhab Alam had no influence on this kit. Looks extremely good

[immubhai]

Thanks God that Pakola green has been removed.
I never liked that green. this new kit is lot better than the old ones

[Indiafan]

So now does PP has a sponsership deal with Boom Boom? they should as they have made it popular

[Shaddy]

The star below Pakistan looks ridiculous, there already was the official pcb logo star, which goes very nicely with the crescent. why ruin such a great design!! very annoying, we've had a look at this kit for days and I was hoping this wouldnt be it!!

The training kit always seems to be better than the official one, I'd be buying the training one, if on sale.

[deviously~fading~away]

My God! Some PPs are really something! The kit is beautiful! I would be surprised if any other country has something better. The training one is nothing! With the whole pepsi & all plus it looks like the old T20 colorful one.

Crescent though forced adds a lot to what Pakistan needs now!

[deviously~fading~away]

MIG/Saj/AZ bhai

Any idea when the kits will be available for purchase?
Yup plus shipment details :)

[b0wld]

The crescent looks hideous....otherwise the kit is good..i'll give it B+

[Boi]

This kit will whoop all those on show during the World Cup. Let's hope the team itself whoops them too. ;-)

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Top Kit designed by BOOM BOOM and congrats to the PPers who contributed.

[amirfanforlife]

I think I'm in love with it :heart:

[GOAT]

Superb kit. Win or lose - we're going to look damn good doing it :D

[dhump]

WOW nice congrats PP so happy we got a little influence on the big scale.

[b0wld]

Also this new Kit looks awfully similar to to this

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3804/photopc7.jpg (http://img46.imageshack.us/i/photopc7.jpg/)

[*sallu*]

The kit is a big improvement, no doubt, but the crescent and star just looks plain weird with the yellow

[Bullet Drive]

Where can I buy this from and when?

[shaz619]

An excellent design indeed, very much similar to the Pakistan cricket kit in the video game International cricket 2010.

[shahzadatr]

Really nice kit, love it

Actually i saw it 1 week ago on a website but i didn t believe it.
but its a top design
thanks BB and PPers

[Theo_14]

I'm loving the kit. I love how the colour has been faded from dark green to light green, best kit I've seen so far, produced from Pakistan.

However with the crescent issue - some players prefer the shirts being tucked in, so it's likely that the full crescent won't be shown, I just feel it's been made to big/wide but overall I am pleased and cannot wait to get it!!

[anakwalajinn]

Salaam.

Thanks for posting. It turned out to be the same one which was leaked on PP, but I must admit this picture looks a lot cooler than the previous. I think the colour is great, the only thing that screws the whole thing is the yellow moon and star. And also this is not how our moon and star is in the flag, especially not the star since this star is standing straight, while in the flag it is not straight...

Khair, just my opinion :)
Can we also know which part of this shirt was inspired by the fans?

[Saj]

Thanks for posting. It turned out to be the same one which was leaked on PP
Wrong ! Its slightly different.

[cricwiz]

The kit gets :19: from me ....

[lala621]

I get the "cornered tigers" feel from the kit, notice the "ripped" black pattern, almost seems like a tiger ;-)
InshAllah they shall play like Imran's tiger, only it will be "Lala's tigers" this time...:-)

[Saj]

[QUOTE][However with the crescent issue - some players prefer the shirts being tucked in, so it's likely that the full crescent won't be shown, /QUOTE]
Thats in hand, the crescent might be adjusted a bit when the players use it in the World Cup.

[Sledger]

I get the "cornered tigers" feel from the kit, notice the "ripped" black pattern, almost seems like a tiger ;-)
That's the best part of the kit. Actually, from the back it looks perfect. :asadrauf

As others have said, the crescent just seems a bit off key but w/e, excellent effort from boom boom.

[amirfanforlife]

Can we also know which part of this shirt was inspired by the fans?

I'm not too sure but I think it was the crescent part... I think I saw a design like that in the 'design your own kit' thread.

[BoomBoomCricket]

Awesome design!

Thanks for the updates.

I am Considering the purchase. 2011 WC here we come. Bring it on. Bring home our 3rd WC title! This is your moment MEN IN GREEN.

[Sledger]

Was the launch a conspiracy? :wajid

[*sallu*]

^There are no underarm patches in the new final design and no Pepsi logo on the sleeve

[anakwalajinn]

I'm not too sure but I think it was the crescent part... I think I saw a design like that in the 'design your own kit' thread.

Yes, maybe. But I think the training shirt might be more inspired by PP than the playing shirt. The moon and star part was also in the T20 shirt for 2007. Personally, I think that is our best shirt ever. Who came up with that? Loved the colour combination! Shirt's should always improve, but here we like to go backwards :ibutt

Anyway, this is much better than the 2008/2009/2010 shirts, so look's like we are at least heading in the right direction! :umarakmal

[Sledger]

^There are no underarm patches in the new final design and no Pepsi logo on the sleeve

There are underarm designs on the one presented at the launch.

[Boi]

Thanks guys! :yk

[*sallu*]

There are underarm designs on the one presented at the launch.

So the ones presented at the launch and the leaked ones are the same?

And the one Boomboom is photographing and advertising with is slightly different?

[Sledger]

Only difference I can personally see is that the Boom Boom official releases are a bit darker.. but then again that might just be the appearance given off by different photos. One of the mods should confirm the actual difference..

[cricwiz]

[QUOTE][However with the crescent issue - some players prefer the shirts being tucked in, so it's likely that the full crescent won't be shown, /QUOTE]
Thats in hand, the crescent might be adjusted a bit when the players use it in the World Cup.

Thats great...

If thats in hand... than there is another suggestion ....

As some people are suggesting that the crescent and star are giving a bit hideous look. If the design is still in hands, than this problem can be solved very easily....

The problem with Crescent/Star is that they are bit too solid and giving an impression that its sort of printed on the shirt and not mixing with the overall design...

The solution is very simple. Instead of using the solid pattern, use a ingrained color approach (the way light is mixed with the darker shades in the overall design). But use contrast i.e. where there is dark background, use light foreground of the crescent (so the cresent will look 2 colored)... and same strategy for the star.. This way the crescent and star will look totally ingrained in the design and kit would look fabulous... And no need to use borders for the crescent/star (the contrast to the background color will automatically highlight the border).

Also someone pointed out earlier that PCB logo is also a star, so only one star can be used in the middle (unless and until its a requirement of ICC to have board logo on top left)

[Munda Pakistani]

when players tuck in those shirts...the crescent will be half visible and half tucked in...don't think that is a good thing considering the religious relevance...

just my opinion :)

There is no religious relevance. The crescent is often used as a symbol for Islam, but it's something that has cropped up over time. There is no significance for the crescent as a symbol in Islam.

[ads101]

I don't like it :(.

The back looks good, and most of the shirt looks good, but I don't like the crescent. I especially don't like how it's outlined in yellow which makes it stand out and the focus of the shirt. If the huge crescent were taken out, I would probably have loved the shirt.

I didn't mind Jazz's shirt with the crescent on for some reason with the black and green colour design. The crescent didn't stand out oddly (like it does to me in this shirt), but sort of blended in with the rest of the shirt. Maybe if there wasn't any yellow outline of the crescent and star it would look better.

completely agree with these points. Couldn't have put it better myself. And I didn't unfortunately in my earlier post either :D

I agree, couple of posts earlier I also suggested the same that Crescent is looking too odd (not part of original design)... Only if it can be blended in the rest of the shirt... And I also suggested a simple + practical strategy of blending it ...

[AZ]

*breaths a sigh of relief*

Alhamdulillah on the overwhelming positive response! We & BB both were a bit nervous on how people would react to it!

Personally, I LOVED it the second I saw it! The crescent, the fade effect, all looks really awesome :malik

[*sallu*]

Most people don't like the crescent I think, its too solid and the thick yellow border looks weird

+ 1

Yeah, it is a bit silly with two stars in it. And the moon and the star does not look like a part of the shirt as it does not blend in.

Waise bhi check the flag, the star is not straight, it is kind of rotated. Hard to explain...

http://www.flagshag.com/smaller/asiaflags/Pakistan_Flag99.jpg

Anyway, this has got me exited. Looking forward to future shirts, keep the design coming boys.

Here is a picture from the official launch, look's like it is somewhere in between the leaked picture of that white statue and the PP picture with darker colours as the colours and design appear much stronger and attractive on the official picture in this thread than the one from the launch.

[*sallu*]

crescent and star look poor to be honest

Too big, too solid and the yellow border is just plain weird.

If they refined that bit, this shirt could have been one of our best ever

[JilaWatan]

The shirt would have been ten times better if there wasn't the yellow outline on the crescent... That looks tacky. Maybe a diff color or no outline at all

[ads101]

crescent and star look poor to be honest

Too big, too solid and the yellow border is just plain weird.

I know it's a shame.

I want to love it, but with that yellow border crescent in the middle, I just can't stand it :(. And the problem is it's the whole focus piece of the shirt. If you don't like the crescent, you're not going to like the shirt really.


I like the back of the shirt though a lot :D

[iRfaN_LA]

Agreed. The shirt looks great ! Solid improvement by BoomBoom. Colors / fading is just perfect. Back and sides look just great.

The only issue is that the crescent looks weird. As Saj bhai said, the crescent size can be adjusted. Only if it is adjusted and we get rid of the yellow border, this will be one of the best kits designed.

[Down2Earth]

thank god they went back to the dark green, looks good.

[JilaWatan]

Saj bhai did u say that the design can still be altered? If yes then lets get rid of the yellow border

[12cavalry]

Save the crescent the kit is pretty good. They should make the crescent a tad smaller and make it blend into the background.

[Free Hit]

amazing kit excellent job done by bo0m boom

ji oye boom boom
di oye boom boom
:afridi

[Jazzz]

Wow. I really feel honored, Alhamdlilah. Many thanks to the whole PP team and the BoomBoom guys! And by the look of the response we're getting, more and more people are liking it :)

[JilaWatan]

Wow. I really feel honored, Alhamdlilah. Many thanks to the whole PP team and the BoomBoom guys! And by the look of the response we're getting, more and more people are liking it :)

Minus the crescent

[PakPrince]

Great work Boom Boom and PP! You have done an awesome job in designing the kit. I like the training kit better but still love the official one anyway.

Hopefully the clothin material is top notch too and not like the T20 2010. My gut feeling is that it is perfect and this is why I will be buying this Inshallah

[Britstani]

How can the design be adjusted now? they have already launched it right so how can they alter the design at this stage?

They nearly got it spot on with the design but had to in a typically pakistani style ruin it with the tp out of purportion moon and star. This has to be the result of a 'Superior' insisting to the designers they want a big moon and star on it lol.

[Zaka]

Wow That Sounds So Awesome :D Great Work Done BY PP for the Fans Of PAKISTANI Cricket PP the only place for passionate Fans :D Really an awesome design :)))))))))))))))))))))))) Thanks BOOM BOOM and PCB for Talking the Input of Pakistani Fans :D All The Very Best To Pakistan For World Cup INSHALLLAH We Gonna Win THis World Cup :D

[Britstani]

thank god they went back to the dark green, looks good.

not sure if it is dark green...if you look at the pictures at the launch it looks lighter and more lik the one in the mannequin pic.

I hope its a dark green.

[cricfan4ever]

LOVE IT!!!

when and where can we buy it from??? please some1 tell me!

[attock]

Brilliant job by BOOM BOOM and every one involved to produce such a wonderful kit. I think this kit is awesome and one of the best ever produced.....I really want this kit, looks very stylish........

[UntouchablePlaya]

hell-o-yeah baby.. just loving it!

thumbs up ppers and BB!

[ads101]

LOVE IT!!!

when and where can we buy it from??? please some1 tell me!
PakPassion shop :D

[adzzy786]

I do like it. Im not too sure about the crescent and star on it, i think it looks a bit too much but never the less i love it. Thank you

[cricfan4ever]

PakPassion shop :D

thanks bro! :D

when will it be officially available on PP shop???

[Watsupdoc]

Nice kit! Job well done!

[Britstani]

looks like a cheap replica of 2007 t20 WC kit!
the crescent and star looks awful , its just not right!!
cant say im disappointed coz i never really expected anything gud from boom boom!
please bring slazenger back! boom boom is just embarrassing!!

your not too far off, anyone with a creative mind will know the disign just isnt right.

I registered just to make my feeling known for what it counts lol.

[Radiance Of Australis]

The crescent and star could be improvised but this kit is still the best Pakistan ever had.

[kaalakawaa]

It's fair but enough with the kit now

Go win the bloody WC

[ads101]

thanks bro! :D

when will it be officially available on PP shop???
When they've confirmed the pricing.

It'll be available on pakpassion shop though. Just not yet. Have to wait a little longer.

[Uzi]

Nike and Adidas can't compete with Boom Boom.

Looks a really nice shirt.

It is good to see the darker green make a comeback. Not a fan of the lime green.

[Jazzz]

I agree with everyone about the cresent standing out abit too much, and it could've been more subtle and be a part of the overall design. But neverthless, the kit looks nice. So good job by BoomBoom!

[Amir]

It looks great. The only thing running it is the dumb ICC regulations forcing them to put the country name on the shirt. I just feel like every World Cup, teams have their jerseys and the name is just really out of place and looks awkward. Furthermore, they all have the same front so it really takes away from the jersey.

Jersey itself looks great though.

[Amir]

Can we buy it yet on PP shop?

[AZ]

I think I'm in love with it :heart:

:)))

PCF iss baat ki gawah hai, I said the exact same thing when I first saw it.

[cricfan4ever]

When they've confirmed the pricing.

It'll be available on pakpassion shop though. Just not yet. Have to wait a little longer.

thanks once again! can't wait!!! :D

[ucilite]

the cresent destroys the whole shirt...remove cresent and its a pretty solid shirt

[Rizz Khan]

Really Nice, Well Come Boom Boom!

[JilaWatan]

Can someone, with access to photo shop, alter the pic a bit. Take out the yellow change the color to a diff lighter shade of green. Or maybe none at all Nd try to blend it with the background. Thanks =]

[faz]

Nice kit but i think the '99 & '03 World cup kits were better

[mahad193]

When I first saw the shirt, the first thing which striked me was the crescent and star. I think the fact that it is bold makes it look tacky. But at least the shirt isn't a disaster; in fact, ignoring the crescent and star, I think Boom Boom have produced a quality shirt, so well done Boom Boom!

Here's a picture from the launch which I found...

[strongman123]

Well, color me impressed! I love the fading effect, and as per crescent, I like the idea of it, perhaps execution could have been better, but none the less I like it :).

[mahad193]

I think when you get used to the crescent and star, the shirt does look very nice.

[Rizz Khan]

Its A GEM!

[srh]

would have been better if the big crescent and big star on front was not there

the crescent looks better in that picture. The border looks more gold, darker and blends better with the shirt. Still not brilliant, but better than the bright yellow border in the picture in the OP.

Hope this is what the real shirt looks more like than the one in the Original post.

[Bilal_Pcb]

Great Kit.
Now all we need to do is win.

[QazzarFan]

the crescent is way too big.... I like the training kit wayy better

[kingusama92]

Lovely kit.

Some tweaks could have been made, but this is still a very nice kit for the WC.

Good job Boom Boom and PP members who had an "influence" on the design.

[SOSami]

I like it.

Well done to the guys at Boom Boom for taking feedback on board.

Also,well played to the creative guys on PP. Some of you guys have amazing IT/design skills.

Put me down for one!

[octavian]

After seeing South Africa i was a bit scared abou tours, but this one is pretty good. Best one since 1999. Wish we had a team like '99.

[d0gers]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Boom Boom, Pakistan’s official cricket kit suppliers, have today launched Pakistan’s impressive new kit, barely in time for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.Fixed.

Nice color scheme on the back and sides, I really like the light green trim on the sleeves and collar. But the crescent as others have pointed out looks out of place. The training kit in comparison looks really good, would love to get my hands on one of those.

The caps could have down without the stupid design on the brim.

Also I agree with Amir there really is no need for the country name. ICC could take a cue from FIFA here.

[M.J]

love the shirt

but man it would have been so much better had pakistan been written in urdu

[MIG]

Wow. I really feel honored, Alhamdlilah. Many thanks to the whole PP team and the BoomBoom guys! And by the look of the response we're getting, more and more people are liking it :)

JazakALLAH for doing the work yaar !

[Geordie Ahmed]

I think its great, really like it - perhaps the crescent is a bit big BUT I think I am being a little picky since Boom Boom have delivered a quality top (aesthetically at least)

[Saj]

Really nice kit, love it

Actually i saw it 1 week ago on a website but i didn t believe it.
but its a top design
thanks BB and PPers

Just to clarify.

There was a kit that was leaked out, which was similar to the actual design, but IT WAS NOT the final design.

[duostyle]

Meh. The crescent kills it for me. Sorry, but the front looks horrible. Far from being the best kit we've had.

They got the right idea with the training kit though, but the choice of colors for that kit is questionable.

Nice to see fans having an influence on the design. Good effort.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nice Work PP

The crescent makes the kit standout, looks great IMO. Without the crescent the kit would look ordinary.

[Zain]

what a result for pp, loving the kit design, just like the previous one we have had, i would change the yellow tho, anyhow minor ill still be buying it.

[Sledger]

I think the crescent looks better from a distance, like in that launch photo. I think the official close up photos make it look overly tacky, though I wouldn't have made it yellow myself. Hopefully when they're on the field, it'll look nicer. The spike/stripe design around the back and sides is really good.

[FusedBulb]

Shirt graphics are OK but not dashing !!!

[srh]

The crescent makes the kit standout, looks great IMO. Without the crescent the kit would look ordinary.
Pasand apni apni Andaaz apna apna. For me the shirt would have look better without the crescent and the big star in the front.

[AZ]

The Commish is in da hooooouse! :)))

:wajid

[Cosmic]

What Is the Difference Between 2007 kit and 2011 Can Some One Explain To Me.....

[AZ]

it looks a lot better 'in person', and the crescent definitely looks smaller there in the ceremony!

[shahan91]

well i am greatly honored as i am the one who created the "design your own kit" thread. it is a great feeling to know that you played a great part in designing your team jersey. the new kit is pretty alright...although i feel boom boom could have done better with the design i feel boom boom have done a mighty good job and i as a fan am very satisfied with what they have produced...i would love to get my hands on this jersey

credit to you and all the PPers who shared their designs with us!

I think this is one shirt that we will be very happy to see and wear!

[iZeeshan]

Only flaw I see is the yellow border with the crescent. Wish they had gone with a green border like the one modified by a PPer and possibly had it fade.

Regardless, I'll be buying it. Great stuff!

[Hando]

I think we'l all get a better Idea once we see our players in the Kit, 23rd Feb

[AZ]

would it be possible for someone to superimpose the shirt on a player?

would be great to get an idea of how it looks!

[harrisaslam100]

where can i buy it?

[ali_zee]

great

[Strike!]

The star is in the wrong position.

[lumber121]

Honestly, my first impression was that WOW,, nice design,.. Learning that PP had input, even better..
Although someone made a valid point, that when shirt will be tucked, whole of crescent will not be visible. May b smaller crescent would looked better.
Now all we need is Afridi to lift that world cup in India..
Man that would be my third dream to come true
(Spain winning WC, Barca beating real 5-0 and InshALLAH Pak winning in India:O)

[whitelightning]

Its a huge improvment on the last kit but I wonder how many people were working on the design of the kit.

If almost every person on this forum who has commented can see that the star is out of place and the yellow outline on the crescent does not look good, then why couldnt at least one person at Boom Boom noticed this.

[AZ]

out of place? how so? its a key part of the design, its just that the country name has to be there.

as for the crescent color, its a matter of choice, I personally like it that way.

[d0gers]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Flag_of_Pakistan.svg/158px-Flag_of_Pakistan.svg.png

The star on the kit is too close to the crescent.

Though I think I can live with that. It's more the broad yellow border that bothers me. I think yousuf^3 above has made a good improvement. The light green outline goes well with the rest of the design.

[whitelightning]

Apart from the badge there is no other part that is yellow so it doesnt go with the rest of the kit.

If the star could not be put in the right place then theres no need for the star and crescent. It would have looked classier and more like a football kit. I love the colour scheme though.

[Hando]

Is it true that the Training kit will be the official kit after the WC?

[mahad193]

I think he means in relation to the Pakistan flag, which is where the crescent and star comes from.

The position of the star on the shirt is understandable though. If it were to be in the 'correct' position, I reckon it would have looked even uglier, with the Pakistan name being in the way.

There is no need to have a star and crescent in the first place especially if it doesnt fit right.

sigh.

It's ten times better like that.Agreed on all three. The star and crescent the way it is on the flag would look weird on the shirt. The kit would've looked good without the design though. And if it had to be there, the light green border looks a lot better.

[Atif]

where can i buy it?

You will be able to buy the shirt here on PakPassion, more details will be revealed soon.

[A-1]

wah,great kit...different then the usual...well done BB & PP:19:

[whitelightning]

You can instantly see that a green outline looks so much better. I wonder if they even tried any other colours. Surely your first thought would be to try green or white.

[Jazzz]

woooooooooooow!

too good yaar Jazzz!

[mahad193]

True.

I think just having a small crescent and star at the bottom of the Pakistan name would have been fine. Boom Boom might have been a bit ambitious I suppose, in trying to fit such a large crescent on the shirt. It doesn't look catastrophic though!

[Free Hit]

crazy jazz, looks nice :afridi

Jazzz you GENIUS!

The shirt looks really nice in that pic!

[lumber121]

@ Jazzz

cool dude, how did u do that,
Ur genius, seriously, u even made part of crescent cover with bottom..attention to detail, top notch..

[ElRaja]

looks much better than it did on the manequin, hwoever i still dont think the star in that position looks nice, what was wrong with the "pcb logo star" being the star with the crescent aligned like on the flag.

still much better than the previous version, the colours r pretty much spot on. what about the bottoms?

the ones that jazz i think made looked a lot more professional, not bad still.

[Hando]

LOOOOOOVING IT !
WAHHH


Thank You Jazz :D
!

[MO]

the green in the kit is a shade light.....I think the colors in this picture have been enhanced

[AZ]

yaar Jazzz put it on that Shoaib pic you made on the left of your background!

[Jazzz]

Jazz is good at exaggerating the contrast and background color to make his pictures stand out. No way will Umar gull look so good wearing the kit

But good work nevertheless :p

That colors in kit + Guls picture hasn't been altered at all! This could all be due to the camera used for the pictures though.

[sunnykhan]

The kit will look better on the players. Jazz pic reveals this. An appreciated effort by Boom Boom and Jazz :14: :14: :14:

[dashing]

Nice kit but still a little improvement is needed like the cresent and the star should have been completely white and the background color should have been exactly same as the 2009 T20 kit
:sami

[dashing]

Something like this :)

http://www.apnapisj.com/PP/Gul-NewKit.jpg

AWESOME WORK DUDE!!!!!....BRAVO

by the way which app u used to make it!:sami:gul:rao

[pakistan_pride1]

amazing kit in shallah we will win the world 2011 and pakistani players wil kiss the star on that shirt

[IAJ]

This is crazy!!!! :)

What a lovely sight! I am really looking forward to buy this kit here at PP and I hope PP's shop-workers are ready for the order-storm and that they can deliver without any significant delays inshaAllah.

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Absolutely love the Kit. Made my day. To be honest i wasn't expecting something as good as this....but credit to BOOM BOOM they have really upped it for the world cup. The dark green colout is perfect IMO. The back of the shirt looks superb!! The "tears" on the back and side is something different than usual and gives it an edge.

As for the crescent moon and the star, persoanlly i don't think its too big nor does the yellow look bad, as the yellow goes with the Pakistan cricket logo.

LOOKS 100% TIP TOP, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING and WONDERFUL!!!!

exactly! if it was their all by itself it may have looked weird, but as is it looks good.

[KSaeed]

Finally we've dumped the lime green and gone for a darker shade which looks a lot more cooler and a lot more menacing. For all those against the crescent and the star being there, surely the "chand sitara" are integral to the shirt as they are to our flag

[Looney]

this is good too if it is going to look like the way it does in Jazzz's picture

i still LOVE the training kit .

[Britstani]

I dont think anyone really minds the moon and star being there, just the execution is not right as it just looks like a last minute effort and an after thought.

Im sure the designer/s didnt have the last say, why would someone with a creative mind, take time and effort in designing the shirt and right at the end ruin it with a out of purportion, out of place image that looks its just been copy and pasted on lol.

[talha3]

wow looking class in the superimposed pic.

[AZ]

hmmm, now I definitely prefer the yellow!

crescent is not prominent without it.

[cricwiz]

hmmm, now I definitely prefer the yellow!

crescent is not prominent without it.

Thats what exactly is needed.... The crescent/star is much more prominent at the moment than desired...

But if its blended with the design and not so prominent, than the overall design looks much more appealing... Majority of people are not liking the crescent/star because the yellow border stuff makes it stand out (it just looks like as if someone had printed it on the shirt)...

And I am sure, Boom Boom would be closely monitoring the responce (along with PP admins). Only a bit of fine tuning is needed to the crescent/star section to make it more blended with the overall design...

If that happends the Pakistan WC kit would standout as the best in all teams...

[Omar Malik]

How about having the outline of the crescent and the star in white in comparison to yellow which it is?! How would that look if it can be done! :D

[Bullet Drive]

No not that one.

How about you make the star abit smaller

[mahad193]

I must say, this World Cup kit now makes the preceding lime green kit look genuinely poor and lacking in creativity! Boom Boom have certainly turned things around!

[786warrior]

I have to take my hat off to Boom Boom - I'm very impressed by this shirt and look forward to picking one up!!!

I've given BB a lot of stick for their hideous shirts to date which made it look like the circus was in town BUT THIS IS VERY NICE!!!!

I WOULD LOVE IT IF PAK GOT TO THE FINAL AND A SPECIAL SHIRT WAS MADE FOR THE TEAM JUST FOR THE FINAL WITH THE CRESCENT AND STAR IN SOLID WHITE LIKE IN OUR BELOVED FLAG - SYMBOLIC!!

[lakhanim]

Guys, everyone has to bare in mind that the designers consider every colour and aspect of the shirt. Also, the manufacturing process of the shirt itself puts a lot of constraints on what designs may be suitable for production.

I think we have the most unique and stand-out kit amongst all teams

[JellyBro]

great stuff from PCB and BoomBoom. Kit looks impressive

[Omar Malik]

How many think the white may have looked a bit better than the yellow as we're so used to seeing it yellow all the time :P Not saying it looks bad or anything!

[AZ]

I think we have the most unique and stand-out kit amongst all teams


definitely agree with this! the other teams' kits so far have been so generic!

[*sallu*]

I just can't see the yellow working still, it looks out of place.

[Chocolaty Laila]

the WC shirt looks absolutely great! credit to Boom Boom and of course PakPassion for their awesome collaboration! we look good, now lets play good and bring the WC home!

:yahoo

[Khan88]

Very nicely done by BB and PP fans. Similar to the '07 T20 one I believe but unique in it's own way. and I agree with everyone that the training one should become the kit after the WC. Lovin the return of the chand and sitara :)

[Poison]

The kit is fantastic. Stop whinging bacchas :afridi

[Chocolaty Laila]

The kit is fantastic. Stop whinging bacchas :afridi

:)))

indeed! so much crying over small things! from where they started and where they are now, Boom Boom's design and quality has improved by leaps and bounds! my personal expectations were not that great, I am pleasantly surprised!

[Omar Malik]

So mostly everyone prefers the yellow outline of the crescent and the star then or some prefer the white one aswell?!

[Watsupdoc]

So mostly everyone prefers the yellow outline of the crescent and the star then or some prefer the white one aswell?!

I like the yellow one. Especially when Jazz put the shirt on Umar Gul.

[cricwiz]

So mostly everyone prefers the yellow outline of the crescent and the star then or some prefer the white one aswell?!

Not me atleast :)

I would not prefer any border at all... It makes the crescent/star very much prominent..

What I would like is the faded crescent/star in contrast to the background color... so that it blends with the overall shirt design :)

[*sallu*]

So mostly everyone prefers the yellow outline of the crescent and the star then or some prefer the white one aswell?!

Nope, I would've liked it light green with a fade

Its too big, solid and the yellow should be replaced

[insaftak]

Amazing Kit

but why would they do this ceremony in London? This would have gotten a lot more coverage in Pakistan. I am pissed that we now have to do a launching ceremony of pakistani kit in a foreign country too.

Rant over!

[Omar Malik]

Still it's a much better kit than what we've had in the past by Boom Boom - So once again well done to them especially for taking some feedback on board from the actual fans!

[Watsupdoc]

I hope that Jazz can also make the faded cresent/star shirt on Umar Gul...... That would be awsome...

Personally I think Yellow looks good, the only thing odd looking at it is that the 'stripes' on the collars and the arms are light green. I would like to see them yellow as well. Hopefully someone can try that here and see if it looks good.

[Omar Malik]

[Silencer]

Brilliant kit and top work by both PakPassion and Boom Boom!

We often think that fans voice can not be heard but we should realize players, companies etc all of them are always looking out for support and suggestion!

So I argue to get behind Team Pakistan and Team Boom Boom as well as Team PakPassion and cheer and support them!

[hasanmehmoodkhan]

cool looking kit

[Hash]

I have to say

This is actually a very nice kit.

For the first time in their history, Boom Boom have actually done something well. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come and credit to them! Well done!

in a history of one year? :ibutt

Yes

In hindsight it was silly to go with them to begin with. But nice to see they have finally got it right!

A very nice kit.

[Sledger]

Finally got the size somewhat right... so what do you guys think? I think it looks awesome like this.

Interesting, but the original light green they used is a lot better imo. That was one of the best parts of the kit, adding contrast with the dark - looks like something out of The Matrix. :happyNeo:

[inam_1]

the new kit is nice could have been better as we have better designs here on PP.. its kinda similar to that T20 worlcup kit with but that kit atleast had nice colours and the colours from light to dark blend in with each other..PP designers made some great design but this is the best one from Boom Boom. So thumbs up

[sully3]

defo buying the training kit looks sick

[rahulrulezz]

Being an Indian, it will be first time I will say this.. This Pakistani kit is the best kit among all the kits... I always found other Pakistani jerseys totally unattractive(prolly cuz I am Indian :P) but I wudn't be lying if I say this jersey is not just better than ours but one of the best jerseys in Cricket....

and Saj, it was me, I wud be so pissed at some of the members..they just whine, whine, whine about all the jerseys..if they find complains in this jersey as well, you guys just dont deserve good jerseys..

[pakistanbest]

This is a proud moment for all us PP especially the Mods, Saj and the PP'ers who put effort and time into designing kits and also to Boom Boom. Great work guys!

This kit is superb, Still looking to see how the material is but I am going to buy this ASAP, just hope we don't get ripped off, really suprised at how good it looks considering BB efforts in the past but excellent shirt, will be proud and happy to parade around in that shirt

PP when approx will the shirt be available? :) :) :)

[pakistanbest]

Well it's no 99 but well done to them for listening to the fans.

Looks good regardless.

I thought I'd prefer a different color for the crescent but after AZ's post comparing the three of them, there is no doubt in my mind that I prefer the one we have.

Brilliant work!

Question to mods: Do the players in the Pakistan team know that the design of the shirt has been majorly influenced by certain members of the largest Pakistan Cricket forum online?

.. do they even know we have a new kit? :D

Love it and want one now!

The cresent is good in yellow and white. It's a powerful symbol and when the players walk out it will be like warriors taking to the field. The opposition will be mesmorised by this kit.

Well done to all involved.
