As the official kit sponsor of the Indian cricket team, Adidas has introduced the new Indian Cricket Team jersey that will be worn in all three formats of the game. These jerseys will make their debut during the World Test Championship Final and will be worn by the Men’s, Women’s, and Youth teams in upcoming ODI, T20, and Test fixtures.
The partnership between Adidas and the BCCI signifies a new chapter in Indian cricket, granting Adidas the exclusive rights to design and manufacture jerseys, kits, and merchandise for the Indian Men’s, Women’s, and U-19 teams. This collaboration allows Adidas to showcase its innovative designs and expertise on cricket’s grandest stage.
The new Indian Cricket Team jersey pays tribute to India’s rich heritage and craftsmanship. The new ODI jersey represents the power, beauty, and strength of India’s national animal, the tiger. The intricate design features the traditional ikat pattern, meticulously weaving the tiger’s stripes into the fabric, capturing the essence of Indian cricket.
In a sustainable initiative, the authentic T20, Test, and ODI jerseys are crafted from 100% recycled materials. These jerseys also incorporate Adidas’ HEAT.RDY technology, a lightweight fabric that enhances airflow, ensuring the players stay cool during their performances.
To bring the new designs to life, Adidas has launched a comprehensive 360-marketing campaign across digital, social, print, and OOH platforms. Created by Fundamental, an indie agency in India, the campaign includes a captivating short film featuring renowned players such as Rohit Sharma, Harmanpreet Kaur, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Smriti Mandhana, and Renuka Singh Thakur. The film, shot across the country, showcases the unwavering love and immense pride that fans and players have for the Indian cricket team jersey. The campaign is complemented by striking portrait photography, featuring the top national players proudly unveiling the new jerseys – “What does the Indian cricket team jersey mean to you?”.
