What should you bring with you?

Meeting the Blackcaps for an autograph session is an exciting opportunity for any fan. Whether you’re a lifelong supporter of the team or a recent admirer, knowing what to bring for autographs can enhance the experience and leave you with a memorable keepsake. Here are some ideas for what to bring to be autographed by the Blackcaps.

1. Cricket Gear
The most iconic items to bring for the Blackcaps to sign are cricket-related pieces of gear. A bat, ball, or cap is perfect for any cricket fan. A bat or cricket ball signed by the team would make a highly prized souvenir and a great addition to any collection. A team cap is also a fantastic item to have signed, as it’s a personal connection to the sport, often worn during matches. These items not only serve as great collectibles but also reflect the sport’s spirit.

2. Jerseys
A Blackcaps shirt, is an excellent item to get autographed. Many fans choose to bring home a jersey from a memorable series or World Cup, and getting it signed by the team adds even more value. Jerseys signed by a number of players are particularly valuable, and they make for incredible display pieces. You can either bring your own jersey from home or buy an official Blackcaps jersey at Rebel Sport.

3. Photos
Photos are classic items for autographs. A high-quality, action shot of your favorite Blackcaps player, or a team photo from a notable series, can make for a fantastic keepsake. If you’ve met any players in the past or taken a photo with them, this can also serve as a great item to be signed. Be sure to choose a clear, well-lit image that captures the player in action, and pick up a pen in a contrasting colour from Whitcoulls to make it really stand out!

4. New Zealand Flag
Show your support for your country with a New Zealand flag, or an English flag if you must. These make great keepsakes to be hung at home or taken to the game. Find the flags of many nations at Yakeda’s on your way to the signing!
