Hockey India Chief Dilip Tirkey Says Executive Board Not Consulted Regarding The Jersey Colour Change
In an email addressed to the Hockey India Executive Board, a screenshot of which is taking rounds on social media, Tirkey wrote, "I wish to bring to your attention the recent change in the colour of the Indian national team's jersey. This decision appears to have been taken and implemented without being placed before the Executive Board for discussion and without my prior knowledge."
Tirkey stated that his objection was not to the new saffron colour but to the way in which the decision was made. "My concern is not with the choice of saffron itself. However, a decision of this significance, involving the identity and representation of our national team, should ideally have been discussed with the elected leadership and the Executive Board before implementation," he wrote.
