| Cricket
Blazers are colorful expressions of the team spirit and close camaraderie
that comes from playing together. Cricket blazers cover the range from
very stylish to boisterous expressions of bright colors and outrageous
design. The collection at the C.C. Morris Cricket Library is the largest
known containing American and Canadian club blazers. Some are the only
known remaining blazers from a particular club. (Note: this page is under construction. Please visit again soon to see more of our collection.) |

The Haverford College XI Blazer is shown here worn by Dr. Howard Comfort. Awarded in a manner similar to an athletic letter, not all players received a blazer. Unfortunately, no blazer has been awarded since the early 70's. The cost of purchasing the custom fabric became prohibitively expensive. |
| Merion Cricket Club Blazer is shown to the right. This blazer was donated by B. Abbott Dickson. Merion Cricket Club is located one block east of Haverford College and had a long history of cricket play. Current members of Merion have revived play and field a strong team. So, the proud Merion tradition continues. The great lawn at Merion, currently used in the spring for cricket and in the summer for tennis, is an exceptional field, on a par with any cricket field in the world. It is one of three fields used for play during the annual Philadelphia International Cricket Tournament. |  |
