The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season is just around the corner, and as teams gear up for another exciting edition of cricketing extravaganza, the spotlight is also on the unveiling of new team jerseys.
Among the notable changes this year is the rebranding of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, along with a fresh jersey design.
RCB’s decision to change their name signifies a nod to the cultural identity of the city, embracing the local language by transitioning from Bangalore to Bengaluru. Alongside this change, the team has introduced a striking new jersey for IPL 2024.
Departing from their traditional red and black colors, RCB now sports a vibrant combination of red and blue, with accents of gold adding a touch of elegance. Blue takes precedence in the top half of the shirt, marking a significant shift in the team’s aesthetic.
While RCB made headlines with their revamped identity, other IPL franchises also made their mark with new jersey releases.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians showcased continuity with their classic blue and gold ensemble, as did Chennai Super Kings (CSK), whose iconic yellow jersey received subtle blue accents. Punjab Kings opted for a daring change, swapping gold for blue to complement their signature dark red hue.
Sunrisers Hyderabad introduced a bold design featuring an ensemble of orange diamonds, reminiscent of their jersey from the SA20.
In contrast, Gujarat Titans, Kolkata Knight Riders, and CSK opted for low-key reveals, showcasing their new jerseys on social media platforms without elaborate launches.
Rajasthan Royals, known for their pink and blue attire, will don an all-pink jersey during a special match honoring women in India and Rajasthan. Meanwhile, teams like Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants have maintained consistency by retaining their jerseys from the previous season.
As the excitement builds for IPL 2024, fans eagerly anticipate seeing their favorite teams donning these fresh looks on the cricket field, adding a new dimension of style to the thrill of the game.
