Baggy green

A Baggy green is a hat of green colour only given to Australian test cricketers. It was famously worn by Sir Donald Bradman and is a symbol of national pride. In recent years, Baggy greens have auctioned for a large sum of money. Modern cricketers sometimes replace their helmets with a Baggy green for a traditional, Australian style. The Baggy green is not worn as often nowadays because of the danger of fast bowlers.
