No more men in blue? Team India to sport new jersey colour in World Cup 2019?

ICC has reportedly used the concept of home and away in football for World Cup 2019 with India sporting a different colour against England.

ODIs went into coloured jerseys in 1985 and ever since then India has been sporting blue jersey and hence they were fondly called the men in blue.

According to a report in the New Indian Express, India might sport the Orange Colour jersey for their away fixture against England in Birmingham on June 30. Since England’s jersey is the same light blue shade reminiscent of their 1992 World Cup campaign, India might sport the Orange jersey.

The Express report stated that India has chosen orange as an away kit. The yet-to-be-released kit will see India wear a darker blue in the front, with orange dominating the sleeves and the back. The ICC has planned to introduce the concept of home and away kits, which is already in practice in football.

South Africa and Bangladesh will face the same situation against Pakistan.
