Cricket West Indies (CWI) has formally unveiled the maroon kit the regional side will wear at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, blending contemporary performance design with a powerful homage to one of the greatest chapters in West Indies cricket history.
Launched in collaboration with technical apparel partner Macron, the jersey commemorates the 10th anniversary of the West Indies’ remarkable double triumph in 2016, when the region captured both the Men’s and Women’s ICC T20 World Cup titles in an unprecedented sweep.
Caribbean identity woven into maroon
At its core, the new kit is a visual celebration of Caribbean unity. The traditional maroon base is complemented by refined yellow and light-blue detailing on the collar and cuffs, creating a sharp yet familiar aesthetic.
Dominating the chest is a striking abstract palm-leaf graphic in yellow with light-blue accents. The motif is intended to symbolize regional strength, shared identity, and the collective spirit that binds 15 Caribbean nations under one sporting banner.
“More than match apparel”
CWI Chief Commercial Officer Rupert Hunter underscored the deeper meaning behind the design, emphasizing that the jersey represents far more than on-field attire.
“This represents far more than match apparel. It represents the collective passion and ‘Maroon Spirit’ of 15 Caribbean nations under a single sporting ‘flag’,” Hunter stated.
He also praised Macron’s contribution to the evolving visual identity of West Indies cricket, commending the brand for producing “world-class designs that honour the West Indies’ heritage,” while expressing confidence that the team will once again carry regional pride onto the global stage in 2026.
Macron’s growing World Cup presence
Macron Chief Executive Officer Gianluca Pavanello described the partnership with CWI, which began in 2023, as a milestone moment for the Italian sportswear brand.
“The new West Indies kits combine respect for heritage with contemporary design, technical performance and sustainability,” Pavanello said.
He added that Macron is set to be the most represented brand at the 2026 T20 World Cup, supplying kits for four participating nations, further underlining the significance of the West Indies collaboration within the tournament landscape.
Fans brought into the celebration
To mark the launch, CWI has announced a special promotion for supporters worldwide. Fans who purchase the official jersey anytime between now and the conclusion of the tournament on March 8, 2026, will automatically be entered into a draw to win one of two prizes: a jersey signed by the full West Indies squad or a bat autographed by every member of the 2026 World Cup team.
The 2026 T20 World Cup jersey is available for purchase online through the ‘Shop’ section of www.windiescricket.com, as well as via Macron’s official website.
As anticipation builds toward the global showpiece, the newly unveiled maroon kit stands as both a tribute to past glory and a statement of intent, one that carries the weight of history while setting its sights firmly on the future.
