UP Warriorz Introduces 'A Blooming Rebellion' Jersey

Today, UP Warriorz revealed their latest playing jersey for the upcoming Women's Premier League (WPL) season. This design, created in partnership with Ekaya Banaras, the team's official design collaborator, showcases the rich textile heritage of Banaras while embodying the Warriorz spirit of bravery, identity, and fearless cricket.

Blending Banarasi Heritage with Modern Sport

Incorporating Banarasi-inspired designs into a streamlined athletic fit, the jersey is tailored for elite T20 cricket, ensuring comfort, mobility, and a strong visual identity. It aims to instill a sense of belonging and purpose in players as they take the field, symbolizing not just Uttar Pradesh but also the broader advancement of women's cricket in India.

Fans can purchase the jersey through official merchandise outlets, as it will be worn by the UP Warriorz throughout the WPL season.
