The Socceroos will be clothed in Green-and-Gold colored Jerseys for the 2010 World Cup. The first Australians to wear the green-and-gold was the Australian National cricket team that played England in the 1899 Ashes tour. Ever since, every Australian sportsman started including green and gold in their attire. Green and Gold is the national color of Australia and is also the dominant color of Australia’s national flower, The Golden Wattle.
Nike, their Kit Sponsor has opted for a very simple design, with only a white stripe separating the green from the gold in the home jersey. This green and gold jersey is definitely not a contender for the Best Jersey Award.
