Former India hockey captain and Olympian Viren Rasquinha faces backlash on social media after he posts remarks questioning Hockey India’s decision to change the colours of the men’s and women’s team jerseys. The posts, which include references to whether Argentina would wear orange, draw attention to what Rasquinha appears to frame as a change in the teams’ jersey colour scheme. Multiple reports describe the issue as a growing “hockey jersey row” that begins with the governing body’s colour decision and then shifts into a wider public debate once Rasquinha comments online. According to the coverage, his posts are met with criticism from some users, highlighting the polarised nature of the discussion around national team branding and uniform changes. The reports note that the conversation also takes on political overtones in sections of social media, as supporters and critics trade views on the appropriateness and rationale of the new jersey colours. Hockey India’s specific explanation for the change is not detailed in the provided summaries.
