Earlier this year, The South Australian Cricket Association announced from the 2024/25 cricket season onwards the state representative teams will return to their historical name of ‘South Australia’. Subsequently, we are excited to release the new South Australia cricket teams’ playing kits featuring the new name and playing logo.

For the first time since the 1995/96 season, the SA domestic uniforms feature the traditional state colours of red, blue and gold.

Featuring First Nations artwork designed by local artist Steven Warrior, the diagonal element on the front of the new WNCL and One Day Cup playing kit represents the shape of the South Australian coastline.

The three main First Nations designs that feature on the SA playing kits are:

Footprints
The footprints represent the SACA RAP journey for both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community. This extends not only to the SACA organisation but all South Australians that play cricket. The lines and circles underneath the footprints (in blue) represent the significant milestones we will make towards reconciliation.

Dark Red Background Lines
Represents the traditional lands of the language groups in South Australia.

Meeting Places
Three circle meeting places in the middle represents the head offices of SACA. The hands represent the employees of SACA and their commitment to reconciliation and the game which is presented by three cricket balls for men, women and junior cricket.

A circle that represents SACA’s meeting places will also feature on the SA Men’s Sheffield Shield shirts.

South Australian batter Thomas Kelly reflected on wearing the new kit for the first time.

“As a proud South Aussie, I’m loving the chance to wear the state colours, Kelly said.

“It’s exciting to wear a uniform that reflects the South Australian coastline and allows us to reconnect with our Club’s history. The First Nations designs that continue to feature on the kit is a reminder of our unique culture and I know both SA Men and Women’s players will take pride in wearing these new kits.”

In addition to the new WNCL and One Day Cup kits, the traditional Sheffield Shield cricket whites have also been refreshed and feature the new playing logo.

The SA Men will wear their new kit for the first time in the opening match of the One Day Cup on Tuesday, September 24 against WA at Cricket Central, followed by the SA Women who will wear theirs for the first time in their opening WNCL match on Friday, September 27 against ACT at Karen Rolton Oval. The SA Men will debut their new Sheffield Shield kit for the opening match on Monday, October 7 against NSW at Cricket Central.
