Australia's new look for 2019 World Cup is out, they chose to go nostalgic
Australia’s official kit manufacturer, ASICS revealed their new kit for 2019 World Cup. The new uniform is yellow in colour and has green stripes. The uniform is similar to the one they wore against India in February.
The retro kit was chosen as their World Cup uniform after a Twitter poll concluded that the 1999 World Cup kit was more popular among the fans.
