After lot of wait the official kit partner of Team India Nike have unveiled the orange jersey that Team India is going wear in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against hosts England on Sunday.
Team India will debut its first ever Away Kit in Birmingham on 30th June 2019. The ODI and Away Kit designs launched this year are inspired by the young new generation of India and the fearless spirit of the national teams.
While the new engineered mesh and strategically placed sweat zones help enhanced breathability for the team on the field, new placket construction, the flex crest, garment cut angles and slash taping all add to making the new jersey lighter, more breathable and helps the athletes be agile on the field, a statement said.
“The new total orange and blue colored Away Kits also moves away from a traditional silhouette to using new innovative cut lines alongside dynamic material combinations to emphasize a Multi-dimensional Slash Design and Movement approach,” Nike said in a statement.
Ever since the announcement of the orange jersey, there has been a lot of controversy regarding the choice of the colour. Some political leaders from opposition parties have termed the decision as saffronization of cricket.
It was also later revealed that ICC had given more colour options but BCCI chose to go with orange.
