Hawks unveil new playing kit for 2025 Vitality Blast

By Connor Steel

HAMPSHIRE HAWKS have officially launched their “striking” new playing kit that will be worn throughout the upcoming 2025 Vitality Blast campaign; which is starting from May 30 (Friday) at the ‘Utilita Bowl’ with their men’s team looking to reclaim their title won in 2023 and their women’s side aiming to gain a first ever domestic Twenty20 cricket competition.

The kit will feature the team’s colours of yellow and navy blue within their updated design from New Balance, who have been in charge of the county’s kits over recent seasons. It is said to blend performance with powerful visual impact and displays the logos of four big partners; Hilton, Connect It Utility Services, Pangea Insurance Brokers and Hendy Group.

Replica kits can be purchased using the Hampshire’s online store at the cost of £50 for adults and £45 for a junior size, whilst ‘personalisation’ can be added for an individual’s kit for a fee of £12. Supporters can furthermore buy their kits at the onsite store based at the Utilita Bowl and this will be open for the team’s four day match against Sussex next week.

The Hawks are scheduled to play their first match in a double header against Essex on May 30; the women’s team set to begin at 3pm and the men’s side following at 7pm at the Utilita Bowl. The women will then travel north to Lancashire Thunder on June 4 before featuring in another double header including the men’s team as they visit Surrey at Kia Oval.
