Mumbai Indians maintained the blue shade while the gold stripes decorated over the jersey as they sprung to championship victories over the last decade.

The inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals donned the royal blue jersey over years as they slowly brought in the pink for a noble cause – ‘Cancer Awareness’. The home city Jaipur is also known as the Pink City – hence they have gone Pink over the last 2-3 seasons.

Sunrisers Hyderabad entered the IPL with a Phoenix rising from the ashes theme. They have now evolved in to a orange black code – now called by the fans as the ‘Orange Army’.

Meanwhile Royal Challengers have begun with traditional Karnataka feel colors as they transformed over the years as a team sporting “Play Bold” motto and hence the brave red black code.
