“Jersey colour change decision taken without my knowledge”, claims HI Prez Dilip Tirkey

Published by Webster

The furore over the Indian hockey teams’ new saffron jerseys has triggered a bit of wrangling within Hockey India with President Dilip Tirkey calling it a decision that was taken without his knowledge and secretary Bhola Nath Singh insisting that “all officials were aware” of the change. The Indian hockey teams, traditionally attired in blue, will be donning saffron kits during the World Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium starting August 15. The change in the uniform’s colour, which was announced on July 27, invited scathing criticism from former players such as Vasudevan Bhaskaran, Viren Rasquinha, Ajit Pal Singh and Pargat Singh among others. All of them questioned the logic behind such a move, asserting that it would affect the team’s identity built over decades. Till yesterday, HI, including Tirkey, maintained that it was a purely technical call to avoid visual similarity with the blue turf on which games are played. The body stated that the colour similarity affected “on-field clarity and visibility for the players”. However, in an internal mail to HI officials, Tirkey …

How a testcard on TV (remember colour bands?) united world during Sco vs Haiti

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: Jun 14, 2026 12:47 PM IST A minor interruption caused football fans watching from around the world to jump in dread as TV screens went into testcard-mode during the Scotland vs Haiti game. While the Scots were back at FIFA after 30 years and registered a laborious 1-0 win, Haiti were spunky but luckless on debut. Fans from around the world though were transported to the 80s 90s, when colour bands suddenly appeared on screen, reminiscent of times in India even before cable television. The order is unforgettable – yellow, cyan, green, pink, red, blue. Thick bands that appeared when Doordarshan was prominent than Doordash of North American relatives. It happened at 37:43 with Scots leading 1-0 through John MC Guinn. With the feed cut off, a error message of ESF UHD C appeared.

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Jun 1, 2026 04:58 PM IST Ever noticed how some insects seem to shimmer differently depending on the light? For one species of bee, it turns out the weather may be changing the look, too. Scientists have discovered that humidity can make certain iridescent bees shift colour — almost like tiny living mood rings. The research found that fine-striped sweat bees, which normally appear blue-green in dry conditions, can turn a more coppery green when the air becomes humid. The findings, published in Biology Letters, suggest this may not just be a quirky bee trick but a broader phenomenon in insects whose colours come from microscopic structures rather than pigments. When moisture changes the colour The discovery began somewhat accidentally. Researchers noticed that museum bee specimens sometimes dramatically changed colour when placed in humid chambers used to soften them for scientific handling. “It can be a bit alarming when you’re not expecting it,” Madeleine Ostwald, a functional ecologist at Queen Mary University of London, told Science News. Curious, the team decided …
