The long awaited India’s away jersey was unveiled on Friday as India gears up to play against England on 30th June in Birmingham. Indian team’s official apparel partner “Nike” unveiled the orange colour away kit.
“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.
“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.
Inspired by the rule of home and away jersey, ICC rules now deny any two teams for wearing similar colour jersey during a game. England being a home nation will have the right to retain their blue jersey in the game against India.
