India's hockey teams will wear saffron jerseys at the FIH World Cup 2026.
Blue jerseys blended with the turf, leading India to adopt saffron.
The jersey blends Mandala art, tricolour details and Devanagari script.
The white jersey carries the same India-inspired design as the saffron kit.
Viren Rasquinha says India's iconic blue jersey should have been retained.
Hockey India says saffron was chosen for technical and symbolic reasons.
