Durham Cricket is proud to unveil the new Men’s County Championship shirt for the upcoming season, an elegant return to the Club’s 1992 colours.
This latest design honours the traditions that define Durham Cricket. Drawing on the Club’s earliest professional identity, the shirt reflects a timeless aesthetic, one that evokes memories of long summer days, red-ball cricket, and the enduring spirit of County Championship cricket in the North East.
The 2026 shirt represents a careful balance between tradition and progress. While the colour palette reconnects with Durham’s origins, the performance fabric, modern fit, and refined detailing ensure the shirt meets the demands of today’s game. It is built for the modern cricketer, without losing sight of what makes County Championship cricket so special.
Cricket has always been a game that respects its history. From the rhythm of multi-day matches to the pride of wearing the county badge, tradition remains at the heart of the red-ball format. This shirt captures that essence and celebrates where we’ve come from, while embracing where we’re going. David Jackson, Marketing Director, said, “This shirt is a reflection of who we are as a Club. It’s about honouring our history and the players who came before, while continuing to push forward. There’s something special about the team wearing colours that connect you to that legacy.”
The new Men’s County Championship shirt will be worn throughout the 2026 red-ball season and is available to pre-order now.
