Abstract

This snapshot reflects on the cultural and social implications of cricket kit, focusing on class and identity within Greater Manchester. Influenced by a Gieves V-neck hand-knitted cricket jumper held in the Westminster Menswear Archive, it examines the symbolism of cricket apparel and its impact on perceptions of the sport, through object elicitation and personal narratives. The text draws on academic workshops, personal experiences and contextual analysis to highlight ongoing elitism in cricket.
