Would have liked a darker shade…but with this outfit the opposition batsmen may have difficulty in spotting fielders…so good.
The colours of the graphics on the new jersey take inspiration from the Indian flag and represent speed and motion.
**The jersey is made from Dri-FIT fabric, a Nike patented technology, which reduces cling and enables the skin to breathe better. The fabric is designed to dry sweat, which leads to better moisture management and is extremely light, so that the player isn’t carrying additional weight that may hamper performance. ** Over the period of the match, this means greater comfort, as the players remain drier and less distracted. The engineered mesh at the back of the jersey and under the collar ensures better breath-ability in the high sweat zones.
No matter what they wear, they will still be Indian. They should go for a outfit compose of three major colors in Blue (Hindu majority), Green (Muslim major minority) and Orange/yellow (Sikh minority). And a combination of these three colors will make a nice outfit for them.
if they wear their flags colors they will look more like cartoon characters performing acrobats in the green field rather then crickters - as it is the blue makes them look enough jokeree :P
I am amazed that such detail was not worked out already between BCCI and ICC. I mean this is the world cup we are talking about(and it is just 3 weeks away). Any sane person can tell that things like team uniforms have to be mutually agreed upon.
I remember when we used to play matches even with "other mohalla" (neighbors) teams, all the details were used to chalked out before hand such as who will bring the ball, who will bring the tape and if shilwar qameez is allowed or not :) and its hard to understand that at top level with so much money involved and so much time and money is spent on agreements and lawyers, they missed out this basic clause!
and personally i dont like this kit. Color is too light and cloth is too shiny. You cant even read the sponsor's names and other slogans! I think dark color was much better.
They are saying this kit will absorb sweat. Are you kidding!!!!!!!!!!! For indian players you should pick a dress with some electric heaters in it so that they stay warm.
Or may be they are talking about sweat of fear from fast bowlers.
