Indian hockey team jersey controversy

Overview

Indian men’s and women’s hockey teams will return to their traditional blue jerseys for the upcoming Asian Games. This decision follows controversy and protests regarding a recent switch to orange kits used during the FIH World Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey clarified that while the change to orange was intended to improve player visibility on blue pitches, the decision was implemented without approval from the elected leadership or the Executive Board. Following consultations with the Indian Olympic Association, Hockey India confirmed that blue remains the primary choice for the upcoming games.
