Netizens are shocked over the 'silly' outrage over Team India's orange kit
World Cup 2019: Since being unveiled, the new orange jersey for Team India has created a huge political controversy over who chose the colour orange, which is somewhere associated with a particular political party.
It is known that no such proposal was mooted before the Committee of Administrators (COA) - which is running cricket in India since the Supreme Court's 2016 order - and the decision has either come from CEO Rahul Johri or the team management, consisting of coach Ravi Shastri or captain Virat Kohli in the United Kingdom.
Even the BCCI office-bearers were apparently not consulted before the colour was picked for the jersey, which is likely to be worn by the players in the World Cup game against England on June 30.
"Let me tell you the design (orange) is taken from India's old T20 jersey which had orange in it. Team outfit designers in the US designed this new jersey keeping in mind that fans should be able to identify the Indian team with it," was what a BCCI insider revealed.
Netizens are shocked over the 'silly' outrage saying it's just a colour and people should enjoy the sport.

3. 'Orange is in our tricolour as well'

#MeninOrange? Just say saffron.

And a good idea even if it is for only one tournament and meant to distinguish Team India from the other side that also wears blue.
Saffron has been systematically demonised iand needs to be rescued, after all it is in our tricolour as well.
