The
1992 ICC Cricket World Cup was revolutionary for its use of
floodlights, white balls and fielding restrictions, but it was also the
first time coloured kits made an appearance, with player names on the
back. Though each team had its own unique coloured jersey, they all had
blue, green, red and white stripes running across the front and back
yokes. 20 years later, it remains a fan favourite with replica versions
available for sale at shop.cricketworldcup.com.
Australia 1992
The defending champions opted to wear canary yellow, but its fortunes were not so bright as the side narrowly missed out on a semifinal spot.
England 1992
Graham Gooch's men wore baby blue, but don't let the color fool you: the team packed quite a punch and finished runner-up.
India 1992
In navy blue kits, India's Mohammed Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar produced some sparkling performances but the team overall didn't have quite a memorable tournament.
New Zealand 1992
New Zealand, dressed in powder grey, was one of the most innovative sides in the tournament, using spin up front and opening with a pinch-hitter.
Pakistan 1992
Imran Khan's 'cornered tigers' wore light green but when it won the title, it was the other teams that were green with envy.
South Africa 1992
South Africa made a splash at its very first World Cup with a vibrant green kit, and when Jonty Rhodes memorably ran out Inzamam-ul-Haq, all the spectators saw was a bright green blur.

Sri Lanka was still finding its feet in international cricket, but the team looked regal in its royal blue kit.
