— Adidas India (@adidasindiaoffi)Fans of the Indian cricket team have given a massive thumbs up to all the three jerseys, with most going gaga over the Test shirt that reminds several people of the iconic Spanish football club Real Madrid. "Test jersey giving real madrid vibes," said one fan on Twitter, while another one added, "Adidas giving Real Madrid and India the same jersey just with different fonts and ingrained design. The white looks pristine."

Finally a Jersey which I can buy. A Jersey which has some brand value, which doesn't try to overpower the brand "India" by having even larger fonts.
Really needed this. https://t.co/Zz6sVfoNuP
If this is a test jersey for India, I’m definitely buying one. Never had an Indian team jersey so far.
This one is really really cool 😎!! https://t.co/IkkhUZQCwF
The international sportswear company will begin selling the jerseys online at www.adidas.co.in and in its retail locations around India from June 4.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had announced Adidas as the men's team's new kit sponsor last month.
“I'm pleased to announce @BCCI's partnership with @adidas as a kit sponsor. We are committed to growing the game of cricket and could not be more excited to partner with one of the world’s leading sportswear brands. Welcome aboard, @adidas,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah had tweeted.
The partnership between the BCCI and Adidas will drive the sport forward both on and off the pitch with the sports brand bringing its innovative designs and expertise to Indian cricket. adidas has a long history of equipping some of the best teams in the world with footwear and apparel, created to be the best for the athlete. The BCCI and Adidas will also bring their partnership to life by inspiring the next generation of young cricketers and growing the game for all.
