Cricket has been touted as the gentlemans game for over two centuries now after the British incorporated the game and brought it to different parts of the world under their colonial rule and introduced it to their colonies and the people residing there. It wasnt an instant hit around the world, as, there have been many international matches between countries playing it, but never a designated order or status to it.

West Indies Cricket Team
West Indians have been a force to reckon with in the cricketing world. Not the oldest international team, but certainly not the youngest either. They have grown their reputation as samba dancers but of hard hitters too. They have had some of the best individuals the 11 yards of the pitch have ever seen from such a small island nation.
Bits to know about West Indies Jersey and the team
They have gone with the predominance of purple along the kit, with laces of yellow around the tee, and corners which have it appear quite sleek. The use of a single colour for the design of the kit risks being bland and uninspiring, but the added effect of using a different colour for linings is surely a good way to go.
As is the case with every national cricket team, they have the name of the nation at the centre of the jersey, along with the logo of the cricket board of that nation on the heart of the kit. In the current case, they also have the logo of the upcoming international T20 world cup as well to specialize and focus on the use of the kit for the world cup.
The windies, as they are commonly referred to, have a reputation to be one of the best talent-producing nations, which, might be about to change, as their old guard is slowly fading out and the new generation is being brought in to step up to the tasks on hand for the team. Their weakened team has led them to be put in the qualifiers instead of being drafted into the super 12 directly.
