I think this is a picture of 1996 WC

Before probably they used to do a ONE SIZE FITS ALL policy. At one end they had a skinny Kaluwitarana and the other end they had Ranatunga
I wish that they went full retro and stuck to the exact design of the 2005 kit, instead of making a retro-modern jersey. 2005 NatWest series jersey is one of my all-time favourite kits.
That being said, 2021 T20 World Cup jersey is one of our better designs, for me it's the 2nd best this decade, next to the 2017 Champions Trophy home kit. I'm glad we finally went with a darker shade of green, since 2007 we have been using the exact same lighter shade of green in most of our jerseys.
I'll add one to my collection, as I always wanted a 2005 NatWest series kit (still looking to buy one!!). Shame this tournament was a nightmare for us.
Here's a video from the kit manufacturers talking about our 2021 T20 WC jersey (ignore the spelling mistake of fabric on the thumbnail, it was uploaded by some randome channel on YouTube).
Sports and Sportz Design is the company behind most of our jerseys in the past few years.

Interesting video! I don't know much about the fabrics used to make jerseys and was pleasantly surprised that using recycled materials is becoming increasingly common. A good message before the upcoming COP26.
I didn't like our tiger stripe kit from 1999 at all even a couple of years back, but I think it has aged really well now when everyone is doing 90s retro jerseys.
And here's a concept of a retro kit I found, thought it looked cool.
A bit disappointed with the jersey design, they had space for at least 7 more Daraz logos in there.
Daraz is hands down the most obnoxious sponsor of our team I have seen of late, they even have a Daraz logo on the back. HungryNaki is a subsidiary of Daraz too, so in total thats 6 Daraz logos on the current jersey.
