Odisha, India – 20th September 2024: Konark Suryas Odisha is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated jersey kit for the upcoming 2024 Legends League Cricket (LLC) season. The new design captures the essence of Odisha’s rich heritage and the dynamic spirit of the team, blending vibrant orange with bold blue for a truly iconic look.
The blue symbolises the devotion and trust of the supporters, who have been Konark Suryas Odisha’s greatest asset. The orange signifies the team’s vigour, enthusiasm, and unwavering resolve. The jersey’s sleek, contemporary style, which places an emphasis on both looks and functionality, positions it to make a big impression on the pitch.
With excitement for the introduction, Sanpriya Group COO Enakshi Priyam said, “This jersey is a reflection of our team’s spirit and the values we cherish.” The blue denotes the unwavering support of our supporters, while the blazing orange reflects the aspirations of our players. The design incorporates the Sambalpuri pattern as a tribute to the rich creative and cultural legacy of Odisha. As we begin this thrilling season, we are sure that this jersey will motivate both our team and our fans.”

“It’s an honour to wear this jersey that carries the legacy and pride of Odisha, and I’m proud to lead this team.” The blue symbolises the steady focus and fortitude we rely on in the worst of times, while the vivid orange depicts the fire and intensity we bring to every match. Like the game of cricket itself, these colours together create a tale of balance—aggression and serenity. I have faith that our players will play with heart and commitment, representing not only the team but the entire region on the pitch.”
A new logo is also unveiled during this event. The Konark Wheel, a reference to the 13th-century Sun Temple at Konark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is at the centre of the logo. Its round shape connects tradition and sport by reflecting the team’s ties to Odisha’s cultural past and also having a cricket ball-like appearance. Suryas, the name of the team, is symbolised by the brilliant Sun Rays coming from the Konark Wheel, which perfectly complement this.
As they are ready to battle the opposition in style, fans can anticipate seeing their favourite players donning this eye-catching new shirt. Soon, supporters will be able to show their support by purchasing the official apparel.
