The Club are delighted to reveal the new Vitality Blast shirt that will be worn by the Eagles during the 2019 and 2020 campaigns.
The new T20 shirt, which has been produced by Surridge, is predominantly yellow with navy blue sleeves and stripes down each side. It also features red and yellow piping around the ends of each sleeve and is a throwback to the first ever Eagles shirt! This year, we are commemorating 20 years of the Essex Eagles who were formed for the National League competition in 1999.
We are delighted that Seven Investment Management remain as our front of shirt and sleeve sponsor and welcome Cloudfm as our collar and back of shirt sponsor for the T20 competition.
The new shirt, which is designed to be lighter and more comfortable for the players than previous strips, will be worn for the first time on Thursday 18 July when the Essex Eagles face Middlesex at Lord’s.
Essex batsman and 2018 Eagles Player of the Year, Varun Chopra, said: “I really like the new shirt, it’s nice and comfortable to wear and looks good, and me and the boys can’t wait to play in it.
“I really like the retro look it has. I remember when I was younger I used to watch Ronnie Irani and Nasser Hussain play for the Eagles in the original coloured kit, so just looking at it brings back some great memories for me and I’m sure it will have the same effect with plenty of the fans.”
The replica shirts are available to purchase from The Cricket Store at Essex Cricket, priced at £41.95 for Adults, £34.95 for Juniors and £30.00 for Infants.
