The federation claims that the change is a technical necessity to improve visibility on a blue turf, but some former players, administrators and a section of hockey fans have criticised the move. There is a hue and cry over alleged saffronisation of the national sport. For nearly a century, the blue jersey has symbolised Indian hockey’s glorious journey — eight Olympic gold medals, the 1975 World Cup triumph and the resurgence in recent years. Sporting identities are built over decades, and colours often become inseparable from a team’s legacy. Just as Brazil is associated with yellow and Argentina with sky blue and white, Indian hockey players have long been recognised as the “Men/Women in Blue”.","link":"https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/editorials/jersey-row-saffron-kit-for-hockey-team-raises-eyebrows/","image":"https://www.tribuneindia.com/sortd-service/imaginary/v22-01/jpg/large/high?url=dGhldHJpYnVuZS1zb3J0ZC1wcm8tcHJvZC1zb3J0ZC9tZWRpYTQyYWI0YjMwLThlYWItMTFmMS1iNmVmLTk1MTQwZTcyYzNlZi5qcGc=","source":"The Tribune","date":"2026-08-02T19:49:21Z"},{"headline":"Aryna Sabalenka proposes rule change for top 10 WTA and ATP stars","description":"The world No.1 hasn't held back with her suggestion to improve the sport.","link":"https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/2235335/aryna-sabalenka-tennis-rule-press-conferences","image":"https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/72/1200x630/7074972.jpg","source":"Daily Express","date":"2026-08-02T19:39:00Z"},{"headline":"Everton With £30m Bid For 19 G/A Star: Worth The Bid From The Toffees?","description":"Everton have taken their interest in Baris Alper Yilmaz to the next stage after lodging a formal €35 million (£30 million) offer for the Galatasaray forward, according to Turkish outlet Sabah, as relayed by Give Me Sport.","link":"https://www.yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/everton_with_30m_bid_for_19_ga_star_worth_the_bid_from_the_toffees/s1_17736_44129864","image":"https://www.yardbarker.com/media/b/b/bb4722da1ee708b4fa033c91d5ee28a7b063f3f9/thumb_16x9/turkiye-v-paraguay-group-d-fifa-world-cup-2026-scaled.jpg","source":"Yardbarker","date":"2026-08-02T19:35:48Z"},{"headline":"Fever’s Cunningham says she’s not concerned about being a distraction","description":"Rallies against transgender participation in women’s sport, echoing Cunningham’s recent comments on topic, have followed Fever","link":"https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/basketball/article-fevers-cunningham-says-shes-not-concerned-about-being-a-distraction/","image":"https://www.theglobeandmail.com/resizer/v2/QF6SCXIBBBDQXHJVWDTCD355SQ.jpg?auth=5ced9bfd584d80bca141c571ea82290b57e488c1a010b189bec0deb651b01e94&width=1200&height=800&quality=80&smart=true","source":"The Globe and Mail","date":"2026-08-02T19:19:54Z"}]}
