THE SECRET 7: Beige ON TOUR, Beige salutes Wainuiomata, and 5 other things

The past few weeks have been mad for the Beige Brigade - there has been a lot of research and development going on - always nice to have some new products each summer we reckon. We will unleash these over the next few months. Time is of the essence - we are just back from Melbourne and there is a list of people on the emails wanting a new beige shirt or a pair of Stubbies or something equally ridiculous. Anyway before we get to them, here are 7 secrets to spread this month...

Read on for some of what has been going on - blog, Aussie tour, headbands and some charity stuff we are in the loop on. Plus the normal dose of weirdness too.

Beige Brigade Gets Behind the Kiwi Spelling Bee Challenge

Karen and the Sticky Pictures crew were making a documentary for TV3 on our favourite non-cricketing sports event - the Scripps Howard Spelling Bee. Her husband Andrew is a mate of ours - and penned this piece on his time at the Bee with the NZ representative Charlotte from Hamilton, her Dad, and the film crew. All were dressed in Beige Brigade kit and tried to grow mosutaches for the event!

All Whites vs Australia 9 June 2005 in London

It's not cricket but we're already getting withdrawal symptoms so we thought we'd get a few tickets to the New Zealand vs Australia soccer match. We ended up getting a pretty big pile - got quite carried away but what the hell - it should be a cracker of a night so come and join in the fun and games in June.

Beige Brigade vs NZ Cricket: TV One

We were disappointed with NZ Cricket & their weasel mates at W-Star's attempts to affiliate themselves with us here at Beige Briagde HQ - then they decided to snake us by producing their own version of the wonderful beige shirt. Close Up did a story about the lack of heart and passion in their approach...

The Aussie Tour & Imitation Rugs

The Aussie tour info is all set out below...but first a word of warning. Disappointingly, there are some nasty imitation Beige Brigade rugs being sold around the place - don't get sucked into buying anything other than the real McCoy. An easy way to tell is the Made in China label or the fern on the chest (we're unofficial not official), and the lack of understanding of the expectations that accompany membership of the Beige Brigade...To ensure your kit is legit, get it from us here or from our mates at Cricket Express.
