WBCA: Warren-Blackwood teams to stick with coloured uniforms for junior and senior matches

The Warren Blackwood Cricket Association has made permanent the coloured uniform policy all teams were testing this season. The six teams will continue to show off their colours, with some to stay using their club shirts and others to invest in purpose-built uniforms after the trial period ended. Northcliffe donned red club shirts and Pemberton showed off blue shirts, while Manjimup wore yellow and Bridgetown pulled on maroon and gold shirts. Boyup Brook wore a dark green kit, while Forestry donned a light green uniform. WBCA president Jason Treasure said the coloured shirts policy would continue with the association having planned matches to ensure all teams played each other in the new colours. “Everyone’s had positive feedback, and some clubs are looking into making bigger investments into getting updated uniforms to help better suit the one-day games,” he said. “While club shirts look good, they probably don’t breathe as well when you’re playing the game, so getting purpose-built uniforms are ideal.” “Most clubs will be in coloured club shirts with white pants, while Boyup Brook were able to go out and get the green shirts and pants, along with cladding for the pads as well.” Mr Treasure said the county week representative sides will also don colours. Cricket South West will sponsor the uniforms for juniors and seniors, with the Manjimup Gateway Hotel to sponsor the senior team.
