The shirt features a photo of the world champion players celebrating with the trophy after they beat Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday, October 7, 2012. It is styled in crewnecks for men and boys as well as V-necks and sleeveless for women and girls and comes in all sizes from Small to XXLarge. It was designed and manufactured by Admiral – the official clothing suppliers to the West Indies Cricket teams.
“This is the kind of item every West Indies fan will want. It is a celebration of the one of the magic moments in West Indies cricket history – a day cricket fans will remember for a very long time to come,” said Nelecia Yeates, the WICB’s Commercial Manager.
“We all celebrated a few months ago as our team beat the world’s best to win the World T20 trophy. Here is a chance to continue the celebrations by purchasing a limited-edition world champions shirt featuring our favourite players.
“To commemorate the historic occasion we decided to produce an item which fans can wear with pride featuring a special photo across their chests and relive the moment. We looked for that special image which captured the occasion. The result was an eye-catching shirt which everyone is sure to love,” Yeates told WICB Media.
Fans attending the Caribbean T20 tournament will get the golden opportunity to make early purchases as the shirt will be on sale at Queen’s Park Oval and Beausejour Cricket Stadium in St Lucia. The shirt can also be found at admiralcricket.com by fans hoping to online purchases.
