‘Back to blue’: Hockey India reverses saffron jersey decision for Asiad after uproar

Hockey India has made a noteworthy change, reverting to the classic blue kits for both the men's and women's teams ahead of the Asian Games. This decision comes after considerable criticism regarding the earlier saffron jersey plan. With the stakes high for Olympic qualification, the teams will prioritise blue, though saffron will still serve as a secondary choice if needed.
