The Royal Attire - Episode 5 : 2012

The design used in 2011 was retained for the DLF Indian Premier League 2012. There was no change in the manufacturer and the sponsor logos placed on the sleeves. The base red was made slightly brighter.


The chest area acquired by 'Whyte & McKay' in 2011 was replaced with 'Royal Challenge' and the belly area remained to be filled up by 'McDowell's No.1'. The back was also assigned to the same liquor brand. This time, both the numbers and names had a white scoring.

For the 'Game for Green' version of the jersey, a cooler shade of light green was used as a base. Everything else remained the same. Interestingly, RCB became the first sports team in history to use the players' twitter handles for the names displayed at the back.


Though the white letterings and logos had a reduced visibility on the lighter green base, it was not decided to make either the jersey dark or use black for the letterings. Only the blue names and numbers had a great visibility.
