Classic World Cup Kits – 1996

The thick, horizontal stripes which made the 1992 Cricket World Cup kit so memorable made way for thin, vertical lines in the 1996 Cricket World Cup kit. But there was no lack of pizazz - a rainbow-colored chevron design extended from one sleeve to the other and ensured that the kit stood out in a crowd. There was also more room for creativity this time around, with the teams allowed to pick two team colours instead of just one. With 12 countries participating in this edition, it ensured each jersey had a distinct look.
