· Free Press Journal

Wellington, Oct 11: New Zealand will wear a special limited-edition jersey featuring lotus flowers and mandala art during next month's ODI series against India, marking 100 years of sporting ties between the two countries.

The 'Kotahitanga' ODI shirt represents two cultures bound together by their love for cricket with a design that celebrates the shared history and respect between New Zealand and India.

Artists Ben Thomason, Shiv Narandas and Jai Pancha have collaborated on the shirt design, New Zealand Cricket said.

Indian motifs inspire jersey design

Narandas and Pancha have used three Indian motifs as the unifying elements: the lotus — India's national flower, a repeating ogee pattern drawn from Indian architecture, and the mandala to provide a symmetrical framework aligning naturally with Māori design systems.

While Thomason weaved traditional Māori abstract painted scroll designs and motifs — kowhaiwhai — over a background of haehae lines to connect the living with those who have passed, honour the people who built the bond between the nations, and celebrate what it means to players, fans and those behind the scenes.

NZC celebrates cultural connection

NZC Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Glenn Critchley said, "We’re absolutely wrapped with the design. The artists have created a beautiful balance between a distinct Māori design and a distinct Indian design that speaks to the bond between our nations.

"Sport underpins the unity between New Zealand and India and we hope this shirt will be a collector’s item treasured by New Zealand and Indian cricket fans for years to come.”

Designer reflects on meaningful collaboration

Narandas, whose family hails from India, said it was a meaningful project to work on.

"This shirt feels like a journey of our life here. Hope that everyone can feel the energy that’s been put into this project and they can wear the shirt with pride," Narandas said.

Image Comics' Roam Reunites Paper Girls Creators Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang

· IGN

In what is easily one of the most exciting comic book-related announcements to come out of NYCC 2026, IGN can exclusively reveal that Paper Girls creators Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang are reuniting for a new project at Image Comics. That series is called Roam, and it's their first collaboration in over a decade.

Visit chickenroad-game.rodeo for more information.

See the cover art for Roam #1 below:

The creative team on Roam also includes colorist Matt Wilson and letterer Jared Fletcher. Here's the official description for Roam:

In the future, everyone gets to be a superhero… but only while you’re young.
From the Eisner Award-winning team behind Paper Girls, ROAM reunites Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan and Catwoman: Lonely City creator Cliff Chiang for their first new ONGOING SERIES in over a decade.
Exploring the power and peril that comes with new adulthood, ROAM is a timeless adventure about the quest we each take in life to finally find our team.
The action-packed 50-page (!!!) first issue arrives in comic stores this February 2027!

“Cliff has already drawn the first several issues of ROAM, and I can’t wait for readers to see this breathtakingly original world he and our gifted collaborators Matt and Jared helped create," Vaughan tells IGN. "Thanks so much to the readers and retailers out here who are up for exploring something new with us!"

"There's no bigger thrill than breathing life into new worlds with your friends, that electric feeling of collaboration," Chiang says. "ROAM is unlike anything Brian and I have done before, but inspired by our love for comics as a medium. It's been a joy to reunite with our trusted teammates Matt Wilson and Jared Fletcher, and I'm incredibly grateful to Image Comics for continuing the creative partnership and exploration that began with Paper Girls. It's going to be a wild ride!"

Roam #1 will be released in February 2027, and it's already shaping up to be one of our most anticipated new comics of the eyar. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
