Douglas Jardine's Barmy Army T-Shirt

Douglas Jardine landed on my desk this morning! Seriously folks; Jardine who was one of England's greatest and controversial characters adorns All Out Cricket's t-shirt in a bid to resurrect the fight from yesteryear. Famous for his captaincy in the 1932-3 Bodyline series in Australia, Jardine's silhouette covers the front of the t-shirt.

Dark Blue in colour, this heavy 100% cotton t-shirt oozes quality. More often than not these days tees are not made to last, flimsy materials are used to keep production costs down – not so in this case. The quality and build reminds me of the tees you find in America.

In conjunction with the Barmy Army, All Out Cricket certainly have a hit on their hands with this one! Below Jardine's silhouette on the from of the t-shirt we find “Douglas Jardine's Barmy Army Australia 1932-33” written in a white font. On the back of the t-shirt, together with a map of Australia All Out Cricket have included the dates from the Bodyline series and of course the five Test results – England won 4-1 !!

Unfortunately for the Barmy Army they will not be able to emulate their predecessors this time round and the best they can hope for is 3-2!
