The Rajasthan Royals unveiled their new team jersey Wednesday for the upcoming Indian Premier League season. The Rajasthan-based franchise shared a video on social media showcasing its jersey for the season. The team has maintained its blue and pink color scheme.
The colour combination has been inspired by the Vijay Stambh, one of the most iconic monuments in Rajasthan, located within the Chittor Fort in Chittorgarh. "Designed in Rajasthan, For Rajasthan. The Pink of 2025 is here," the Royals tweeted.
RR honoured several cricketing legends in the video, who have contributed to the franchise's journey. The names and jersey numbers of Yuzvendra Chahal, Graeme Smith, Steve Smith, Ajinkya Rahane, Jos Buttler, Shane Watson, Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Brad Hodge, Rahul Dravid, and the late Shane Warne were displayed on the new kit.
