LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has invited Pakistani fans to showcase their artistic skills and design the new kit for the Pakistan cricket team.
The cricket board announced the competition on Twitter, which will conclude on May 25. The PCB has taken this decision to engage with the fans on a different level whilst simultaneously upgrading the style of the official kit.
In a statement, the PCB said: “Kits designs are requested to be based on a singular theme. Each proposal can include a maximum of two themes, upon which a set of kit designs should be submitted for all formats. The same theme would be carried on to the traveling apparel, fan apparel, and other official PCB merchandise.”
???? Calling all creative minds ????
Submit your kit designs for the year 2022-2023 for all formats, which reflect the essence of Pakistani identity ???????? ????
The deadline for submission is 25th May 2022.

PCB shared all the dos and don’ts in the document along with the competition announcement which included references and guidance points.
“For the clash kit, the design can constitute a major color apart from the traditional home kit colors. The creative theme or the elements on kit design can reflect Pakistani History, Culture, Key values, Artistic values, or other facets that showcase a clear Pakistani identity and vision behind the designs,” the statement added.
There are some additional things that are needed to be taken into account by the designers:
- All designs are to be submitted in the form of a watermarked PDF presentation
- In the first phase, the artists can only submit concept kits of ODI, T20I, Tests, and Clash kit in digital format with written description of the concept and elements
- The rest of the designs such as Fanwear, Travelling apparel & Guidebook can be done once a company qualifies for the second phase
- Only selected parties will be approached for the financial proposals and Phase 2
