I just watched a clip from the old 1980's World Series Cup, and the Aussie players used to wear a yellow version of their sacred baggygreen cap. They also wore yellow helmets. They baggy yellow has since been replaced with American baseball style caps in various green and yellow designs with southern cross logos etc., and Green helmets (same as test). Can anybody tell me what happened to the fetching baggy yellow?!?

Bear in mind that the World Series matches were set up by Kerry Packer's Channel 9 tv station in direct competition to the official ACB Australia test side...and all World Series players were given big contracts to tempt them away from playing official cricket, normally with the expectation that they would be banned by the ACB from ever playing for the real Australian team again (which, in the end, didn't happen)
So..World Series Cricket had to use symbols and colours that were not traditionally official...just as they dressed their "Australian " team up in yellow, they also dressed their "West Indies" team up in a salmon pink kit!

with time they change their color scheme. Like just recently, they have changed the color of their one day outfit from majority yellow to majority green. So it will be some time again before they change it back to yellow, or maybe some other color, u never know

it must have been an 80's fashion statement similar to the current aussie lineups taste in hair styles
