2003
In the inaugural T20 Cup, Hampshire Hawks faced Sussex Sharks in the format’s first ever match at the then Rose Bowl. Although they emerged victorious from the first ever T20 played, the Hawks struggled to gain any momentum throughout the rest of the competition. In T20’s first-ever season the Hawks sported a striking black playing kit, which was supplied by Chase Cricket.
2004
The following year saw the Hawks make a significant improvement in the T20 format, finishing second in the South Division. However, a quarter-final defeat at the hands of Lancashire saw them fall just short of what would have been a first Finals Day appearance.
This year marked the introduction of the yellow and blue strip that is now synonymous with the Hawks brand. It was the first kit provided by Fearnley.
2005
A fourth place South Division finish wasn’t enough in 2005 as Hampshire Hawks narrowly missed out on a quarter-final spot. The Hawks’ 05 playing kit remained the same as that worn during the 2004 campaign.
2006
Hampshire Hawks struggled again in 2006’s group stages, winning just three of their eight league-phase games. Fearnley released a new kit for the season, though, with dark blue becoming the primary colour.
2007
2007 also saw the Hawks struggle in the group stages of the competition, as a quarter-final berth alluded them for a third-straight summer. Fearnley’s kit from the 2006 season was carried over for 2007.
We will be looking at the kits from 2008 to 2021 in this article on Tuesday so make sure to check back for those.
