94.5 Kfm Afternoon Drive's Richard Hardiman and Morne Esben tried on the new Proteas test and one day kit. The new gear was launched in Johannesburg last night, but we've managed to get our hands on it already. What do you think about it?
As you can see, the ODI kit has a new yellow insert around the bottom and along the sides, while the test kit doesn't look much different. I can say that the test jersey is very light - vital when you could spend 90 overs in the field, in the harsh Aussie sunshine during December. Th! e ODI jersey is thicker and heavy, so it must be tailored for day/night matches. Both have a much tighter and streamlined fit, which could be a hit with the ladies...
