Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) unveiled their new jersey for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 in an event on Tuesday (March 7). The Lucknow-based franchise has died to make numerous changes to their jersey from the last edition but the fans don’t seem impressed so far as they have added a typical blue and red color.
LSG revealed the new jersey with an event tagline, “Naya Rang, Naya Josh, Nayi Umeed, Naya Andaar.” And true to their words, the new jersey will be in dark blue from the previous season’s turquoise blue-green. It also has red and shining green strips on the sides.

LSG skipper, KL Rahul, and mentor Gautam Gambhir were present at the jersey launch event. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah also accompanied them during the event alongside franchise owner Sanjeev Goenka. Star LSG players Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ravi Bishnoi, and Jaydev Unadkat treated fans by walking the ramp at the event.

KL Rahul-led team made its debut in IPL 2022 and managed to impress the fans with their consistent performances. They won nine out of 14 group-stage matches to finish third in the table last season but suffered a narrow 14-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator clash.
Lucknow Super Giants have further strengthened their squad by adding some big guns during the IPL 2023 auction. They signed overseas talent in the form of Nicholas Pooran, Daniel Sams, Romario Shepherd, and Naveen-ul-Haq and also bagged Indian pacer Unadkat and veteran spinner Amit Mishra to fill all the blanks ahead of the new season.

On a serious note, what a joke of design this is!
The LSG logo already has its dominant part in the same Blue shade as that of the jersey & it's getting camouflaged. https://t.co/6Wk7SRO71w

Looking at a few IPL jerseys now feels more like a painting class especially with the blue colour.
DC has sky blue, GT has Navy Blue, MI has water blue and now LSG has all mixed blue.
I wonder why BCCI isn't going with the concept of Home and Away jerseys.#CricketTwitter
