The Irish green and the Celtic knot on the new Cricket Ireland jerseys
A month after the announcement of the partnership, Macron and Cricket Ireland have unveiled the new match kits for the Twenty20 International and One Day International teams, representing the colours and symbols of Ireland as a whole. The shirts are made from high-quality materials that provide the technical features necessary for maximum comfort and support for the athletes in their performance on the field.
The T-20 kit jersey for the Cricket Ireland Team, in both short and long sleeve versions, features three shades of green. The polo collar with a three-button closure is in navy blue, as are the sleeve edges and details on the sides and shoulders. Covering the shirt is a graphic composed of geometric figures and a sublimated print design of the Celtic knot, a symbol representing vital and spiritual energy, but also a talisman against negativity. On the right side of the chest, the Macron Hero is printed in white, while on the left, the side where the heart would be, the coat of arms of Cricket Ireland is printed with a satin embroidery effect.
Dark green is the primary colour of the jersey for the team playing in the One Day International matches. The polo collar is navy blue, along with the sleeve edges. The details on the sides and shoulders are gold, as are the Macron Hero and the Cricket Ireland logo, again with satin embroidery. The graphic characterising this kit is a vertical, tone-on-tone band running down the front left side, within which the Celtic knot design appears again, in a recurrent and intertwined manner.
Both Cricket Ireland jerseys come in a Slim Fit and the main fabric that they are made from is Gotex, an innovative, high-performance yarn.
