There is one more picture on Nike site. Size 7.4 MB, so I'm not posting it here. Download the image from here Download all images of 2012 T20 kit by Nike from here Nike unveils innovative T20 cricket kit for Team India

Aptly called the modern uniform of cricket for T20, the apparel comprises the base layer – the Nike Hypercool Pro Combat top and shorts along with the outer layer, the national team jersey, and pants. The matching blue Nike Hypercool Pro Combat base layer includes a compression top and compression shorts that provide added protection, a responsive locked-in feel, and comfort for the more aggressive and technical requirements of T20. Nike’s new T20 jersey and pants are stronger, drier, cooler and 45 percent lighter than previous versions. They are uniquely crafted for freedom of movement, providing athletes the stretch and flexibility needed during competition. In addition to offering the highest level of performance innovation, the kit also leads with sustainable innovation. Continuing efforts on sustainable products that have the least impact on the environment, the kit is made of 100 percent recycled polyester.

Indian Twenty20 team gets new, lightweight jerseys http://www.wisdenindia.com/indian-twenty20-team-gets-new-lightweight-jerseys

The critical difference, apart from the visual, in this jersey, which is made from the equivalent of eight P. E. T bottles, is that it is 45% lighter than the kit the Indian team has been wearing thus far. We are going to be playing T20s at home, in South India, and in Sri Lanka, where even when you bat 15-20 minutes and hit a couple of boundaries you break into a sweat. Any help we can get is welcome, said Sehwag.

Quite amazing that engineering these days! And to say that there's no difference in equipment in the past eras? :headshake:

Myntra now has the new Indian Cricket team T20 jerseys on their website but they have 2 versions of it, one for Rs 3295 and other for Rs 4995. http://www.myntra.com/Jerseys/Nike/Nike-Men-Blue-T-shirt/66779/buy http://www.myntra.com/Jerseys/Nike/Nike-Men-Blue-T-shirt/66780/buy Anyone know the difference between them to justify the price difference?

So I'm assuming they're wearing these for the T20 World Cup, with a t20WC symbol where the nike symbol is? If this is our new T20 jersey why didn't they wear in the Vizag T20 yesterday?

'Superstitious BCCI red-flags T20 colours

Some call the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) unprofessional and archaic in its functioning. Well, it is an individual perception but we can tell you that the mandarins of Indian cricket are superstitious too. We donÃÕ have evidence of them taking a diversion when a black cat came their way but we, sure, know that they know what brings luck to the Men in Blue. So when Nike, Team IndiaÃÔ apparel sponsors, unveiled a Twenty20-specific jersey with lot of fanfare, the BCCI officials were not too amused. The jersey was supposed to be worn for Twenty20 matches, more specifically during the forthcoming World Twenty 20 in Sri Lanka. Now we hear that the board has red-flagged the new uniform. That explains why the players stuck to the old colours during TuesdayÃÔ match against New Zealand in Chennai. The board officials, it appears, have taken the ÁÐld is gold adage too seriously. Not that the new jersey is a fashionistaÃÔ delight it attracted a lot of criticism from connoisseurs for its tacky colour combination. The blue uniform (see picture above) is embellished with patches of saffron, white and green on the left shoulder with the BCCI logo in the middle of it all. Then there are three golden stars representing IndiaÃÔ World Cup wins in 1983, 2007 and 2011.

The jersey brooked some lofty rhetoric from Team India members. Ū play with my heart and I play for the national flag. I like this jersey because the national colours are on my heart, Virender Sehwag had said. Skipper MS Dhoni sounded more practical. Ÿhen we switch on the TV and see players in white, we know they are playing Test cricket. Similarly when you see them in blue, you know an ODI is going on. Now that we have a T20 shirt there will be a strong association between the format and the T-shirt, he had remarked. But when India take the field in Sri Lanka, they could well appear to be playing a 50-50 game. The BCCI is of the opinion that the existing uniform is lucky. Nike officials were not willing to come on record but sources have told DNA the board wants to stick to the ODI jersey because Dhoni & Co won the 2011 World Cup wearing those colours. A top board official admitted that in as many words. ŸeÃ×e decided to go with the old jersey and we have communicated this to Nike. The players wonÃÕ be wearing the new colours, the official said.

http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_superstitious-bcci-red-flags-t20-colours_1740189 whatever the reason thank ****ing god BCCI decided to scrap that hideous jersey. I am very happy with the current one they have. Right colour and right amount of india flag. One thing i have noticed is that Adidas design more attractive sportswear than Nike.
