Mumbai, September 10: The Indian hockey team will don its blue jersey once again during the upcoming Asian Games in Japan. This decision comes after a controversial switch to orange jerseys during the Hockey World Cup held in the Netherlands and Belgium, which faced backlash from several former players. Hockey India had initially changed the jersey citing issues with visibility on blue turf, but following criticism, they have reverted to the traditional blue for the Asian Games. The change was confirmed on September 8, with Hockey India acknowledging the concerns raised by past captains regarding player visibility.
