Every new world cup comes with a new jersey for every national team playing it.This year was also not exception as all of the team playing t20 world cup got their new jersey from their dress sponsor. India was also not exception. They also get a really nice looking jersey for their new campaign "t20 world cup" . But alas as BBCI has conferemed team India will not be wearing it on t20 world cup for some reason.Team India will not use their new jersey, which was introduced with much fanfare recently by Nike forthe World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka due to a "superstition", DNA reported on Saturday.
India did not played with new jersey on last match too !
When men MS Dhoni played the second T20 international against New Zealand in Vizag wearing his old jersey, it did raise a few eyebrows. But news of the BCCI red flag explains new team now.
How the new Jersey actually looks ?
The blue uniform has the Indian tricolor on the shoulder, with the BCCI logo in the center. Along with that are the three gold stars representing three of India wins the World Cup in 1983, 2007 and 2011.
Why India will not wear it ?
But the BCCI, the DNA reports, is of the view that the current ODI uniform lucky and fans can see the team using the same when they leave the field in the friendly match against Sri Lanka on September 15. The report also says that Nike officials refused any comment, but sources said the council wants to put the Indian ODI team because India won the World Cup of 2011 in that shirt."We decided to go with the old shirt and we have communicated this to Nike. Players will not use the new colors," a top board official apparently told DNA
