India will sport a new-look jersey when they take on South Africa in the 1st T20I in Dharamsala on Sunday. The jersey will have the logo of Byju’s, Bengaluru-based educational technology and online tutorial firm, in place of Chinese mobile manufacturer Oppo.
“BYJU’S will be taking over all obligations of the current team sponsor OPPO mobiles India private limited. The BCCI is pleased to welcome India’s leading education and learning app BYJU’S as the official Team India sponsor from 5th September, 2019 until 31st March, 2022,” a BCCI statement had said in July.
The new-look jersey, with the logo of the new sponsor emblazoned across the centre, was unveiled in Dharamsala on Saturday, during skipper Virat Kohli’s press conference. Captain Kohli, vice-captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Ravi Shastri launched the kit.
I was happy that an Indian company BYJU’S are sponsoring India.
But the jersey looks way bad.
At least remove the logo and mention just BYJU’S.
It may look okay then.
India should come up with new designs.
Bored of these.
