London cricket fans have something new to cheer about this summer. MI London has launched their 2026 playing and supporter kits for The Hundred competition, and the fresh royal blue design is already turning heads across the capital.
A New Look for a New Era
Produced by premium sportswear manufacturer Castore, the new playing shirt features a repeating print of the iconic London skyline—a love letter to the city woven directly into the kit. The team has shifted to a bold royal blue colourway, accented with gold foil panels and gold piping on the cuffs and collar. It’s a sharp, clean look that balances modern sportswear aesthetics with a nod to London’s heritage.
Shirts for Every Fan
MI London has made sure the new kit is accessible to everyone. The supporter edition swaps the gold foil for gold Lycra side panels but keeps the same London skyline print, so fans can rep the team without breaking the bank. Even better, the club has introduced a ‘Twenty’s Plenty’ initiative—an entry-level replica cotton t-shirt available for just £20 at the Club Shop during the competition. That’s a genuine effort to keep young fans and families in the game.
Shirt Swap for Loyal Supporters
Fans who bought a 2025 Oval Invincibles playing shirt can swap it for the brand new MI London supporter kit—completely free of charge—on the first match day of the season (21 July at the Kia Oval against Sunrisers Leeds). Exchanged shirts will be donated to charitable causes after the season ends, so it’s a win for supporters and the community alike.
What This Means for Custom Shirt Printing
Sports kit launches like this are a goldmine for custom shirt printing inspiration. The London skyline print motif is a perfect example of how location-inspired design resonates with fans. Local pride, bold colours, and meaningful details—these are the elements that make custom shirts stand out. Whether you’re designing for a sports team, a corporate event, or a community group, taking cues from your city’s identity is a proven way to create apparel people actually want to wear.
Get Ready for The Hundred
The Hundred returns this July, and MI London’s fresh kit is a reminder that what you wear to the match matters. From the £20 replica tees to the skyline-printed player shirts, there’s no shortage of London-inspired style at the Kia Oval this summer.
