IPL 2026: All 10 Teams Unveil Bold New Jerseys for New Season

The Indian Premier League 2026 is just around the corner, and all ten franchises have pulled back the curtain on their new jerseys. This season’s kits blend high-performance fabrics with rich cultural storytelling, giving each team a distinct visual identity heading into what promises to be a thrilling campaign.

Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru launched their jersey with a striking video featuring Virat Kohli, who declared himself “all in” for another title chase. Mumbai Indians retained their iconic blue and gold, incorporating a repeating ‘M’ pattern that represents mindset, momentum, and unity. Chennai Super Kings stayed true to their beloved yellow, while Kolkata Knight Riders introduced their “Lines of Legacy” theme, with abstract designs inspired by iconic franchise moments like Brendon McCullum’s legendary 158 in 2008.

Punjab Kings showcased a lion motif woven into diamond patterns under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting. Sunrisers Hyderabad went bold with an orange and black combination energising their famous “Orange Army.” Delhi Capitals drew inspiration from a tiger’s spirit, launching their red and blue striped kit through captains Axar Patel and Jemimah Rodrigues.

Culture and Identity Take Centre Stage

Gujarat Titans added a luxurious trim to their navy base, featuring a thunder pattern reflecting Shubman Gill’s dominant core group. Lucknow Super Giants blended red, blue, and gold to honour Lucknow’s rich culture and the team’s growing ambitions. Rajasthan Royals, under new captain Riyan Parag, refreshed their signature look while keeping the “Halla Bol” spirit firmly intact.
