Explained what the yellow patch on the back of the jersey of the Indian cricket team Adidas means: The new Indian shirt caught the attention of many fans when they noticed a strange yellow patch on the back, here’s all you need to know about the yellow patch on Team India’s Test cricket jersey by Adidas.
In the most recent action, the Indian Test team beat a weakened West Indies team in Dominica by a massive margin of an innings and 141 runs.
What does the yellow patch on the back of the India cricket team’s Adidas jersey mean?
R Ashwin and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal put in stellar performances, with the Mumbai batsman scoring 171 and the Tamil Nadu star taking 10 wickets. However, a yellow patch on the back of the new Indian jersey, which was placed above the names of the players, attracted the attention of many spectators during this lopsided game.
There were rumors on social media that this is some kind of patch that protects against mosquitoes. However, after talking to Adidas, the official kit sponsor of Team India, it seems that the patch has the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) logo on it.
The emblem of India served as the inspiration for the BCCI logo. According to Information Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu, the logo was created by the Government of India in 1928 and it resembles the Star of India by almost 90%, as reported in The Economic Times.
On the neck of the Australian jersey, there is a patch that resembles the “Walkabout Wickets” work of Australian Native art. The artist behind it is Auntie Fiona Clarke, great-granddaughter of “Mosquito”, a pioneering Aboriginal artist who visited England in 1868. The team’s commitment to reconciliation and finding common ground with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is represented by the team’s shirt emblem. According to Cricket Australia.
Meanwhile, the team’s jerseys received positive reviews from the crowd, especially since the team’s name was printed on the front as opposed to the main shirt sponsor’s name as it used to be. Dream11 has now taken over that position after securing the rights to serve as the team’s new jersey sponsor earlier this month.
India captain Rohit Sharma posted a selfie on his Instagram Stories wearing the shirt. Some fans have objected to the new Dream11 emblem, which has replaced the team name embroidered on the jersey during the WTC final. Some pictures of his teammates wearing the new uniform have also surfaced on Twitter and during its unveiling, fans are not really impressed with the Dream 11 logo on it.
