Haven't they only had the current one for ten minutes or so?
Just got this email (still on the Australian Cricket Family mailing list I guess):
Dear Timothy
Cricket Australia and adidas Australia have provided a brief glimpse of the revolutionary new One Day International uniform that Australia will wear this summer - and it will be green and gold in a way never seen before on an Australian cricket team.
Input from members of the Australian Cricket team, including captain Ricky Ponting, has been instrumental in helping to develop the look and feel of a new uniform which is inspired by the most revered item in Australian cricket, the “baggy green”.
The fabric has been matched to the colour of an original baggy green cap to ensure that the new, innovative shirt has its roots in the very traditions and heritage of Australian Cricket. All player names, numbers and other design elements will be printed in metallic gold to create a true green and gold uniform.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting is extremely enthusiastic about the new uniform: “The baggy green is my most prized cricketing possession, as I know it is for all of the boys, and I am thrilled at the prospect of wearing a uniform that reflects the tradition of Australian cricket.”
The full uniform will be officially unveiled in September, with replica shirts available for supporters to purchase from 14 September.
The Australians will wear the new uniform for the first time in their opening One Day International Series match of the summer against England at the MCG on Friday, 12 January 2007 (D/N).

They weren't kidding when they said breif glimpse.
And still got the horrible adidas stripes down the sleeves.
