Royals Sports Group-owned Rajasthan Royals on Sunday revealed their much-awaited official matchday jersey for the upcoming IPL 2024 season which is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the warriors who have emerged from the state of Rajasthan in the past, and also the ones continuing to serve society across all walks of life in the present times.
Being a team that has become synonymous with the use of the color pink, the inaugural IPL champions have again produced a modern-looking jersey with the integration of classical elements that pay homage to the legacy and the essence of Rajasthan. The design on both the front and the back of the jersey is akin to a shield which is a testament to all the past and present great warriors of Rajasthan found across various walks of life. The overarching shield design also represents the fighting spirit and the never-say-die attitude of our Royals on the cricket field and is further intricately woven with finer elements in white that beautifully narrate the tales of our regal state.
The jersey showcases the distinctive bandhani pattern inspired by Rajasthani women's traditional attire, featuring dots and vibrant colors that represent the joy and festivity of the Royals' home state. Additionally, the design draws inspiration from Rajasthan's historical architecture, incorporating patterns reminiscent of the jali work found in palaces and forts. The hot pink symbolizes strong women and hospitality, while the admiral blue emits royalty and poise. These elements are incorporated into both matchday and training kits, with the latter predominantly featuring admiral blue as the primary Pantone with hot pink accents.
The franchise has unveiled their new jersey for the upcoming season through an entertaining video that features their experienced leg spinner proposing a design idea to his teammates and support staff. The latest jersey was launched through a light-hearted video featuring Royals' talisman Yuzvendra Chahal, who takes up the mantle of designing an outfit for himself and his teammates.

Jake Lush McCrum, Chief Executive Officer of Rajasthan Royals, said, "We take immense pride in representing the culture and legacy associated with Rajasthan. Every new season gives us the opportunity to capture significant cultural and historical elements synchronized into a chic design that can be proudly donned by our players and fans around the world. We are excited to be introducing the threads for this season and look forward to seeing a sea of pink wherever we play this season!"
