wearing the women's baggy green, with red text on a gold background Sometimes incorrectly called a "crest", the "achievement" or coat of arms on the Baggy Green cap is a pre-federation symbol representing Australian commercial endeavours of the time: wool-growing, shipping, mining and agriculture. It consists of: a crest (being a rising sun); over a torse (or wreath) of red and gold; over a shield (bearing images of a
sheep, a sailing ship, a pick-axe and shovel and a garb of wheat, all quartered by a southern cross); supporters (being a kangaroo and an emu); all over a motto ("Australia") on a scroll. The baggy green worn by male players has the motto in gold on a red background; on the women's baggy green, the motto and background colours are reversed. Contrary to a common belief, with the exception of the supporters and the motto, this coat of arms is entirely different from the present and any former national coat of arms. Since 1912 the
coat of arms of Australia has borne the badges of the six
Australian states, enclosed and unified on a shield under a wreath of blue and gold bearing a
Commonwealth Star. The device on the cap is sometimes referred to as Australia's Cricket Coat of Arms, although it has otherwise been abandoned by Cricket Australia. It is replicated on the protective helmet, but not on any other badged item of clothing worn by the Australian team. These now feature the current
emblem of Cricket Australia, being a modern distorted shield with the ubiquitous Southern Cross on a green and gold field of a rising sun and a wicket casting a shadow on a pitch. ==Commercial availability==
