Odisha, India – 20th September 2024: Konark Suryas Odisha proudly unveils its eagerly awaited jersey kit for the upcoming 2024 Legends League Cricket (LLC) season. This innovative design masterfully integrates Odisha’s rich cultural legacy with the team’s energetic and competitive spirit, showcasing a striking combination of vibrant orange and bold blue.
The vibrant orange epitomizes the team’s boundless energy, intense passion, and relentless determination to succeed. In contrast, the bold blue signifies the unwavering trust and loyalty of the fans who form the backbone of Konark Suryas Odisha. The jersey, characterized by its sleek, modern aesthetic and high-performance capabilities, is set to make a resounding impact both on and off the field.
Enakshi Priyam, COO of Sanpriya Group, shared her enthusiasm about the launch, stating, “This jersey is a true embodiment of our team’s essence and the values we hold dear. The fiery orange mirrors our players’ ambitions and drive, while the blue represents the steadfast support and loyalty of our fans. The intricate Sambalpuri pattern woven into the fabric honors Odisha’s rich cultural and artistic heritage. We believe this jersey will be a source of inspiration for both our team and our supporters as we venture into this exciting season.”
Irfan Pathan, legendary cricketer and captain of Konark Suryas Odisha LLC, echoed these sentiments, saying, “Leading this team is an honor, and wearing this jersey is a privilege. It carries the pride and legacy of Odisha. The vibrant orange reflects the fierce energy we bring to every game, while the blue embodies the calm focus and resilience we need during challenging moments. These colors together tell a story of balance—aggression paired with composure—much like the game of cricket itself. I am confident that our players will give their all, representing not just our team but the entire region with heart and determination.”
The unveiling also introduces a new logo, centered around the Konark Wheel—a tribute to the 13th-century Sun Temple at Konark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The circular form of the Konark Wheel signifies both a connection to Odisha’s cultural heritage and a resemblance to a cricket ball, seamlessly blending tradition with sport. Radiant Sun Rays emanate from the wheel, symbolizing the team’s name, ‘Suryas’.
Fans can look forward to seeing their favorite players wear this bold new jersey as they gear up for competition. Official merchandise will soon be available for purchase, allowing fans to express their support proudly.
The season kicks off with an exhilarating match on September 20th, where Konark Suryas Odisha, formerly known as Bhilwara Kings, will compete against Harbhajan Singh’s Manipal Tigers in what promises to be an electrifying contest.
