To avoid a colour clash, team India will wear orange jerseys on June 30 for World Cup 2019 against England. Traditionally wearing blue jerseys all these years and also fondly called as ‘Men in Blue’, the Virat Kohli team, on June 30, will don orange coloured jerseys, in completely different attire.
Since the team England is also sporting a blue jersey, the decision was made to avoid the colour confusion. However, the collar of the new shirts will likely have a blue colour intact and predominantly orange all over. The ICC has confirmed that except for the host country i.e, England, all other teams will be required to provide for two different coloured kits. The host country has a preference in the choice of colour and has the freedom of wearing a single colour for all the matches.
Also, if observed earlier, even South Africa changed the colour of their jerseys from green to dominate yellow colour on their second World Cup 2019 match on June 2 against Bangladesh, who also wore green. On Saturday, Afghanistan will also change the jerseys as both India and Afghanistan has the same colours. Here, India won’t change the jerseys because the match in Southampton will be treated as a home game for India.
