Collar Badges
Are Test cricket jerseys becoming too cluttered?
Not too long ago, Test match shirts were plain white/off-white with only the team's logo (eg the 3 lions of England) on a small badge on the chest. Nowadays, most jerseys have the team/board's badge, a sponsor's badge (e.g. Vodafone for England) on the chest and one sleeve, and the shirt manufacturers logo (Nike swoosh/Adidas three-stripes, or Admiral logo) on one sleeve, as well as on the trousers. Plus, South Africa's shirts have the Hummel arrows design on the shoulder and sleeves, as well as the trousers. Most teams wear shirts with a green/blue/red trim along the seams, as well as the underside of the collars. Aren't Test cricket jerseys becoming too cluttered with advertising logos and colours? Do you think this is ruining the "purity" of Test match cricket? Should there be a ban on jersey sponsorship deals so that only the board's logo will be allowed?
Well let's face it, test cricket probably doesn't attract many viewers anymore. And that means the profits are not much compared to T20 matches. They have to invent some way to make money out of tests in order to keep them going. So I guess this much I can tolerate. Because it's important test cricket is still around for the sake of cricket. You might see it as Test cricket losing it's "class" or "purity". But circumstances change and so does the definitions of these things (some 100 years ago I'd be considered pretty "impure" girl for going to school). But in the end it's the cricket that matters.

Hi, I see you have my book, Badge on My Collar on your website. Thank you! Just wanted you to know that I wrote a sequel to that book, and in that book, I tell the story of K9 Rinny who served in Vietnam. The book is called Badge on My Collar II–To Serve with Honor.
