During the 2019 cricket world cup, the BCCI decided that India’s “away” jersey would be mainly orange.
Last month, the All India Football Federation proposed renaming itself as the “Football Federation of Bharat”.
Now Hockey India has changed the jersey colour to saffron.

Presenting the new India jersey! 🇮🇳

Every stitch tells a story. Every pattern, every colour carries India's pride.

Our teams are ready to once again do the country proud at the FIH Hockey World Cup Belgium & Netherlands 2026.
