The Indian cricket team has been in coloured clothing for almost 30 years now. Every few years, the

jersey has changed or been modified. From ridiculous fashion disasters to stylish designs, the cricketers

have donned the colours with pride and honour. Let's have a look at how India's ODI jersey has evolved

over the years:

Back when things were plain and simple. No team name, no sponsors and no brand. Just the colours!

The Indian team switched to dark blue for the 1992 World Cup with the team name in the front and the

player's name on the back.

India suddenly switched to yellow with a band of blue running in front with the team name. The track

pants, however, were light blue.

The yellow continued for a while. But the light blue colour became more dominant on the jersey.

During this World Cup, every country had a similar jersey. Each country had its own colour but there was

a colourful band across the chest and back, signifying the participation of the other teams at the

tournament.

As the BCCI grew stronger, so did the presence of its logo on the Indian jersey. The 1997 jersey has a

very prominent BCCI logo from the left to the center in dark blue.

shoulders and wings.

There was yet another change in the jersey that year. This time it was entirely dark blue with 'India' written

in a lighter tone.

The collar changed back to navy blue and the emblem was placed exactly at the centre of the jersey in

navy blue as well. The general tone of the jersey was light blue.

accompanied by a dark blue collar. The jersey was light blue.

India wore this one to the 2003 World Cup. It was pretty similar to the previous one apart from the dark

blue stripe on the sides.

This jersey came in after a while. The change was a stripe of the tricolour going up the right side of the

jersey in a swirl. This was also used at the 2007 World Cup.

Another World Cup had arrived and this one proved to be lucky as India won the cup. The jersey was

somewhere between dark and light blue with tricolour stripes on either side. Sahara as the sponsor was

again on the left sleeve.

Source: hdimages

The tricolour had been shifted to the left shoulder with the emblem seemingly at the centre of it. Sahara,

this time, was back again across the chest.

So which of these is your favourite Team India jersey?

The sponsorship had been handed over to Star this time and the jersey changed significantly. The

tricolour was now shifted to the shoulders in a triangular shape.

Source: india.com

The jersey has been modified again in time for the latest World Cup. There is no tricolour anywhere. It is

plain blue with the sponsor and team name in the front. The pocket lining of the track pants is also

orange.

to be very frank, none of the jerseys are awe inspiring. nothing that makes youwanna wear one, right now. the 97 jersey had flair, minimalism. All others havebeen garish to say the least. please don't question my patriotism. I would wear the Sahara force india tshirt in ajiffy, but cricket team, well it just doesnt fit right.
