West Indies
Who can beat this? This one jersey tops the list of all the bizarre ones. West Indies were a part of the 1979-80’s World Series. An offbeat yet remarkable series, and their jersey also amused the spectators as much as their performance. Often described as “coral pink”, the idea was to have a jersey that signified the islands’ marine diversity but seeing the world-beaters in pink was obviously more shocking than the whole novel idea of watching cricketers play at night. It even attracted unwanted controversy too as commentator Tony Cozier said, “It’s a colour which carries strong homosexual overtones in the Caribbean.” In time to come, the now-familiar maroon made its way.
