"Finally a blue jersey in the IPL" - Fans troll LSG for their latest jersey for IPL 2023

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have officially unveiled their latest jersey for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023).

Sharing the video, LSG wrote:

“Naya rang, naya josh, nayi umeed, naya andaaz. (New colors, new enthusiasm, new hope, new style.)”

The blue-colored jersey features red and green stripes with their official logo on the front.

Fans, however, were disappointed with the color choice as plenty of IPL teams like Delhi Capitals (DC), Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) have used blue shades in the past.

One fan sarcastically wrote on Twitter:

"Finally a blue jersey in the IPL."

Here are some of the best Twitter reactions:
