Crafted by the renowned designer Monisha Jaising, the jersey symbolises the unbreakable connection between the team and its fervent fanbase, the Paltan, embodying Mumbai Indians’ pride and the vibrant spirit of the city.
Derived from the iconic blue and gold hues synonymous with Mumbai Indians, Jaising’s design is a testament to unwavering commitment and loyalty. The jersey’s inspiration draws from initialism, featuring the letter M arranged in a grid pattern on an art deco backdrop.
The interplay of thin and thick lines in royal blue hues creates a precise and clean geometry, reflecting a design that is both intricate and elegant.
While royal blue signifies confidence and strength, Jaising has used imperial blue to exude empathy and dependability – all emotions that stand true for the Mumbai Indians and its fans.
Marrying this with a dash of gold, to harness energy and power from the sun, through a racing graphic along the sides of the jersey that is meant to emphasise the powerful torso of the champion player.
“As our players don the iconic blue and gold jersey colours, they carry with them the hopes and dreams of our MI Paltan, fuelled by the spirit of ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’. The jersey is a badge of honour, a symbol of pride for all who wear it, as they get to express their love for the team while carrying with them a piece of its illustrious legacy,” Mumbai Indians stated in a media release.
The tickets for the fans have already gone live with Mumbai Indians playing their first home game on April 1.
