The new jersey is a darker blue hue than the latest national team jerseys. In fact, the resemblance of the new jersey to the 1992 World Cup jersey has been noted on social media.
Replica of the 1992 World Cup jersey. Perhaps the best Indian jersey of all time. I certainly remember very loudly that it was the first high quality television broadcast of the CWC in India on private TV channels. https://t.co/9woWlFjfhr
