Retro kits always have a special place in the hearts of cricket fans. They had simple yet elegant designs which caught the attention of all the fans. In the year 2020, MPL decided to bring back the retro design of 1992 for India’s kits in white-ball cricket.
Similarly, during a series between Australia and New Zealand last year, the Trans-Tasman rivals decided to bring back retro avatars. The kits attract more eyeballs and give a feeling of nostalgia for the fans. In this listicle now, we will look at the five retro kits that teams should think of bringing back.

The lion of the Netherlands jersey in the 2003 WC is still in the hearts of the fans. Although the Dutch team has not achieved big at the mega event, their jersey is still fresh in the hearts of the fans, and they should think of bringing it back for the 2023 WC.
2. One of the best retro kits – South Africa, 2003 World Cup

South Africa were one of the hosts of the mega event in the year 2003. The Proteas designed a fantastic jersey blended with yellow and green colors for the home World Cup.

India had a unique kit for the 1999 World Cup. The Men in Blue opted for a light blue shade as the primary color, with yellow design in the middle. It will be great if the apparel designers bring it back for one series.
4. Pakistan 1992 kit

Pakistan won the 1992 WC. It was the first tournament where the teams participated wearing colors jerseys. The Men in Green should think of bringing the kit back for a series.

20 years have passed since the 2003 World Cup, but the Indian jersey from that mega event still has a special place in fans’ hearts. BCCI should think of bringing the kit back in near future.
