The jersey is mainly red with dark blue vertical striped on the front side which is similar to the Barcelona FC jersey. The stripes run from the top to the bottom. The collar has blue and red colour detailing, which matches the overall colour theme. It also has a golden touch near the shoulders.

The main sponsor is printed in white across the chest and the team logo is seen on the upper left side. Overall, it can be said that the jersey has a bright and eye-catching red and blue design.

How Is the Jersey Similar To Barcelona FC?

The similarity is mainly the colour combination and stripe pattern.

Both Jerseys have:

1. Red and blue vertical stripes

2. A bold striped design in the centre

3. A strong contrast between the red and the blue shades

4. Clean front layout with sponsor text place across the chest

The overall look of the jersey closely resembles Barcelona's traditional home kit style. The red and blue pattern is what makes both jerseys very much similar.

Sanjiv Goenka's Social Media Post

Cricket has a way of turning a city into a family. I have seen this happen in Lucknow over the past few seasons. What started as curiosity has become genuine passion.

The stands at Ekana are louder each year. The conversations in the city are deeper. The expectations are higher. And that is exactly how it should be.

26 crore people across Uttar Pradesh now have a team that represents them on the biggest stage in world cricket. That is a responsibility we think about every single day. Every decision, from the players we pick to the jersey we wear, is made with this in mind.

This new jersey is a reflection of where we are headed. A team that evolves, that listens to its people, that takes pride in how it presents itself. The season is close. We are ready. @LucknowIPL
