Here is Every IPL Jersey — Full Story
🟡 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) — The Yellow Army’s new kit keeps the iconic yellow but adds a fresh stripe design and, most significantly, five gold stars above the crest — a permanent salute to their five IPL championships. With MS Dhoni and Ruturaj Gaikwad leading a rebuilt squad featuring Sanju Samson, this jersey carries both legacy and renewed ambition.
🔵 Gujarat Titans (GT) — A dark navy blue base with gold accents on the shoulders and sleeves, kept deliberately minimal and premium. A single gold star marks their 2022 debut title. Shubman Gill leads a star-studded lineup including Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, and Kagiso Rabada. Classy and confident.
💜 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) — Named “Lines of Legacy,” the new purple and gold kit has geometric lines that trace the KKR initials, each line representing a milestone in franchise history. Three gold stars celebrate their three IPL titles. Ajinkya Rahane captains alongside Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, and Cameron Green.
🔴 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) — The most dramatic transformation of any team this season. LSG ditched their old blue kit entirely for a bold red jersey with vertical blue stripes, accompanied by a new logo. Owner Shashwat Goenka explained the symbolism: red for intensity, blue for roots, gold for belief. Fans compared it to top European football kits — and the comparison is fair.
🔵 Mumbai Indians (MI) — The five-time champions went deep with their design. A repeating “M” pattern symbolises mindset, mentality, and momentum, woven into flowing gold waves. Five stars sit prominently above the badge. Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rohit Sharma wore it for the launch video — and it looked every bit as iconic as you’d expect.
🔴 Punjab Kings (PBKS) — The “Lion to Diamond” concept is ambitious and visually striking — a lion in the centre of the jersey that gradually transforms into diamond shapes, representing the journey from raw talent to polished performers. Shreyas Iyer leads under Ricky Ponting’s coaching. The kit’s storytelling is among the best this season.
🩷 Rajasthan Royals (RR) — Pink and royal blue with a commanding lion graphic and a sharp gradient fade running from blue to pink. The round-neck collar and contrasting side panels give it a modern athletic cut. A big launch event in Jaipur put the jersey in front of fans directly, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
🔴 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) — For the first time in their 18-year history, RCB’s jersey carries a gold star — the reward for their first IPL title in 2025. The classic red and black base remains with Puma as kit manufacturer and Nothing Smartphones as the new front sponsor. A single star has never felt so powerful.
🔶 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) — The most visually aggressive design of the season. Bright orange with dramatic black flame-like patterns, a black polo collar, and a “Play with Fire” brand identity that perfectly mirrors SRH’s explosive batting style from recent seasons. Young star Nitish Kumar Reddy unveiled it on social media to enormous fanfare.
Indian Premier League was founded in 2008 by the BCCI and has become the world’s richest and most-watched T20 cricket league, with franchises investing heavily in branding, kits, and fan engagement every season.
