I think you will find that its peach
I think you will find it IS pink!
West Indies World Series 1977
Middlesex weren’t the first cricketers to link to pink though. In 1977, when Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket burst onto the scene, the shock of watching cricket with a white ball under floodlights was nothing compared to the shock in the West Indies dressing room when they first unveiled their lurid new kit. Described as “coral pink”, it was a head-to-toe monstrosity that might have been intended to reflect the marine diversity of their home region but instead reflected something rather less palatable to these most macho of men. “It’s a colour which carries strong homosexual overtones in the Caribbean,” demurred the veteran commentator Tony Cozier. Pretty soon they had reverted to a more familiar maroon strip.”
