The Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) has stepped up its gear for transformation into Cricket Uganda. This transformation has rolled out in a clinical and eye-catching manner – continuing with the unveiling of a new national team jersey.
The new kit was officially unveiled during a photoshoot on the shores of Lake Victoria in Luzira, a location symbolic of Uganda’s heritage and sustenance. This iconic backdrop was chosen to anchor the jersey in the country’s natural identity.
The jersey has Cricket Uganda emblazoned across it. It is primarily yellow with subtle lemon accents, while the sleeves feature Uganda’s national colours – black, yellow, and red.
The inspiration for us to design new kits was to mark the entry into a new World Cup cycle for both the Cricket Cranes and the Victoria Pearls. The Pearls are at the Africa Finals chasing a third global qualifier, while the Cranes prepare for another World Cup shot in Zimbabwe.
The Victoria Pearls made a debut in the new kit at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier (Finals) in Namibia as they fell to Tanzania by one run on Sunday.
The Cricket Cranes, who wore a seemingly similar stripe at the World Cup in the West Indies last year, will don the same kit later this year as they head to Zimbabwe for their qualifiers.
