Champions Trophy 2025: Why do the winners wear white jackets?

Advertisements

As India celebrated their tournament win on Sunday, eyes did not just turn to the Champions Trophy that Rohit Sharma lofted into the Dubai sky.

Altogether more eye-catching were the set of white jackets worn by the Indian line-up, who beat New Zealand by four wickets to write their names into cricket, and indeed fashion’s, history books.

Handed out before the trophy ceremony, every player in the squad slipped into a tailor-made jacket with the tournament logo on the chest pocket.

The winning team get to keep their jackets for life, a special memento reminiscent of the famous green jacket awarded to the winner of golf’s Masters in Augusta.

Launching this year’s jacket with an elaborate video featuring Pakistan legend Wasim Akram watching a jacket being made, the ICC announced the fashion items are “the ultimate measure of greatness and determination.”

And not only that.

“The white jacket is a badge of honour adorned by champions,” they said. “The jackets embody the relentless pursuit for tactical brilliance, and a legacy that inspires generations.”

Also, they just look rather nifty.
