Motif FYI: The orange and black zigzag mesh is named the ‘Fiery Warmth’ design. Whereas it scores very excessive on originality, aesthetic, uniqueness, model recall, it’s additionally come to be related to the 2024 season when TravisheKlaasen blew away opponents until they had been stopped within the last By KKR. Whereas blazing sunrises of the japanese coast are famed, the motifs draw heavy design inspiration of African accents (bear in mind Nigeria’s many lovely soccer jerseys?) from the Sunrisers Jap Cape, who’ve gained the final two titles in SA20. This 12 months, they’ve Md Shami alongside Pat Cummins.
Thumbsup: Uniqueness
Thumbsdown: Not a lot use of the maze design for frolicsome riddles.

Motif FYI: The purple obtained purpler because the defending champs have toned down on the gold. The thriller function of this 12 months’s jersey (although Varun Chakaravarthy is their trump card), is the much-anticipated addition of the three-edged stars across the Gemini constellation, which apparently have been registered by the date that the group gained every of the three titles (Could 27, 2012; June 1, 2014; and Could 26, 2024). The BCCI additionally launched a brag-tag within the type of an unique gold IPL emblem on the sleeve, for defending champions. KKR’s jersey launch was all in regards to the quantity 3.
Thumbsup: The fake collar, Mandarin however squarish, is actual neat.
Thumbsdown: The extra sponsor colors on sleeves in Inexperienced and crimson spoil the seamlessness of the design, although they create in cash and have to be accommodated.

Punjab Kings
6/10
Sadde Punjab di Jersey has gotten a bit light in its latest avatar. Whereas gold trimmings have been added, their random fire-inspired design change that noticed the lion disappearing, has meant its a tamer crimson and blobs of tamer-still orange fireplace that has fuzzed out the dashing crimson of earlier years. A tricolor band on the shoulder is swell, however the dulled crimson and blue lowers barely register any pleasure or free-spiritedness. Perhaps Ricky Ponting and Shreyas Iyer might assist raise them from their ninth place limbo.

Thumbsup: Interference of sponsor tags is minimal, so not jarring.
Thumbsdown: That ombre crimson. It’s prefer it wants gamers to gentle up the bottom, like a type of warmth change mugs.

Delhi Capitals
7/10
Final 12 months, DC went a bit wild although the concept of a metro route impressed design wasn’t unhealthy in any respect. However bringing in one of many sports activities majors has simplified the design extra, and it’s an easy crimson sleeve and blue torso with self-coloured daring vertical stripes working the size. It’s not a Collector’s merchandise just like the metro tee would possibly’ve been, however it’s sufficiently unfussed that each one the eye stays squarely on the cricket and there’s not a lot to say in regards to the threads. It’s virtually as if Rishabh Pant took away all of the wilding accents, and KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Faf du Plessis and Mitchell Starc introduced within the straitjacketed sense of function with the vertical traces.
Thumbsup: Blue collar – oldschool – on the stark crimson shoulder.
Thumbsdown: Nothing stands out. Hopefully their cricket will.

It’s the cleanest jerseys within the IPL, with such geometrical specificity that design must get a ten/10 on Kondo scale of uncluttered with excellent golds. The thunder silhouette is sort of iconic and patently recognisable. However the ink blue is so darkish, and dense, that you just marvel if it’s the appropriate hue for summers. You are worried it wouldn’t go away Jos Butler, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada dripping buckets although cloth sciences maintain these issues. The franchise’s social media put up that includes Rashid Khan gazing a clean slate, captioned “A clear slate. A brand new story,” had triggered rumors about captaincy, however these had been confirmed to be rumours solely. No stress.
Thumbsup: The thunder design is a traditional. Authentic. Neat.

Thumbsdown: That darkish sun-soaking, heat-trapping shade. Hope they’ve Alts in lighter pastels.

You may’t go incorrect with pink. Extra fuschia, extra enjoyable. However when the Royals unveiled their IPL 2025 jersey, it had an extra homage to Rajasthan’s heritage and the franchise’s former legends. The design is impressed by the long-lasting Vijay Stambh (Victory Tower) in Chittorgarh. Designed by college students of the Nationwide Institute of Style Expertise (NIFT) Jodhpur, it has weaved in names and jersey numbers of legends like their title successful captain, the late Shane Warne, Rahul Dravid, who’s again as a mentor, Jos Buttler and Steve Smith. Royals ace new age nostalgia and all the time put up a present. However the intricate Chittorgarh motifs of Rana Kumbha had been highlighted when a promotional occasion unfurled a 30 ft jersey exterior a college.
Thumbsup: Intricate architectural detailing included into what appears to be like like a standard two colored jersey.
Thumbsdown: Not many discover such detailing.

The crimson is crimson sufficient. The Blue is darker nonetheless. There’s even metallic accents that may click on if continued with – like GT’s thunder strokes. However even with Rajat Patidar fronting the disclosing, there’s little that’s thrilling in regards to the new design. It’s extra of the identical, and a bit symptomatic of the choice muddles they usually discover themselves in as seasons put on on. The good hope bandied about is the 18th version will probably be fortunate for the long-lasting No 18 Kohli abd the RCB emblem crest claw is outsized even. However fact be advised, RCB get royally confused with DC and Punjab Kings as a result of the color schemes float alongside identical traces. Kohli in any jersey could be Kohli – he defines the jersey. However that may very well be the issue – the jersey simply doesn’t outline him or the group. Not that the Chinnaswamy devoted care.
Thumbsup: Metallic accents. Keep on with them.

Thumbsdown: Is that DC? Is that PBK? LSG?? No, it’s RCB.

They completed final, final time. They may end first this time. The Blue & gold is identical distinction. Probably the most recognisable factor in that generic blue cloth reduce tends to be the crest. As a result of every little thing round it retains altering. Merciful, the gaudy gold has muted down loads. Like matt and thinner stripes. The shoulder is sort of natty. However the torso has a brand new pinch of purple within the base Motif to go together with the blue. Undecided what the design is – sea waves mayhaps ? However it’s promptly ruined by one of many sponsor logos in crimson – not not like the random inexperienced of KKR.
No design nitpicking will doubtless have an effect on jersey gross sales, however you marvel why all these bluesy groups even hassle, when solely the India blue will actually resonate. Too late at 18 to vary, whilst Hardik Pandya mouths, Chala bhetu, Wankhede la (Let’s meet at Wankhede).
Thumbsup: Gold is so fairly when it’s not ostentatious and in your face. Elegant even.
Thumbsdown: It’s blue. Yawn.

Thala for a cause, now in 18th season. Like their fellow joint prime champs MI, the jerseys will probably be embraced irrespective of how they appear. So the long-lasting yellow has settled right into a sample, with former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin, unveiling it after returning to the franchise after 2015. The principle sponsor font is neat and tidy so it declutters a little bit of that sponsor splash on the entrance. The yellow may very well be noticed from a mile, and doesn’t want any tweaks.
As such, MI’s paltangiri and CSK’s yellove is jersey agnostic. The followers are previous that stage.
Thumbsup: All the time a giant fan of the identify and quantity lettering in that shade of blue.
Thumbsdown: The olive inexperienced shoulder patch simply doesn’t belong on a civilian. However that’s a pet peeve.

Here’s a franchise that has a beautiful possibility in going with a light pastel sea inexperienced, that accentuates their dragonfly emblem. However all indications are they may hypnotically comply with the crimson & blue and be a part of the indistinguishable plenty alongwith 3 different groups of blue & crimson.
The LSG haven’t formally unveiled their 2025 gear. They aren’t very clear about Mayank Yadav’s availability both.
However the design core is powerful. Final 12 months, LSG introduced its jersey was impressed by the visible artwork of the world’s most well-known graphic artist, M.C. Escher — daring, but minimalist, exact but chaotic. Its mathematically impressed art work, with the geometric print riddled with enigmatic particulars that manifest in a larger-than-life approach, with a which means and function at every fold. They’ve carried out effectively to depart the thriller to Ravi Bishnoi. However the alphabets of the acronym LSG, can spring up on you in its interconnected three-dimensional sample. They are saying there’s that trick – the extra you take a look at it, the extra you see it unfold, in “essentially the most mesmerising approach.”
There’s hat tricks to Lucknowi artwork, linear stitching traces, menacing parametric patterns and chikankari work. All of it appears to be like completely good and summery on the ocean inexperienced. However somebody obtained enthusiastic about the newly launched blue — referred to as Limoges blue, and the intricacies had been misplaced to it.

Thumbsup: It’s so fairly, chikankari is what excellent Indian summers are about. However solely in pastels.
Thumbsdown: The attract of the banal crimson & blue. Somebody save Lucknow from falling for the generic.
