The Royal Attire - Episode 6 : 2013

Though major part of the design was retained from 2012, the Pepsi Indian Premier League 2013 had RCB wearing slightly modified attire. The manufacturer for this year was not revealed on the jersey, as the 'Reebok' spot on the sleeve was used up by 'AXE Deoderant', a new sponsor for RCB then. I had to confirm that Reebok was still the kit sponsor myself, when I was window shopping in a mall!


A major modification was the collar which was made gold with a blue piping, extending to the buttoning area below neck. All other elements were retained from previous season. 'Royal Challenege' re-entered the back space this year. The names and numbers were blue and the numbers were outlined in white.

The 'Game for Green' jersey was the same too, with a green base. The designers rectified their mistakes from the past and implemented usage of black for the sponsor logos and letterings, thus increasing the visibility of these elements.


I don't have a very supportive opinion on this shade of green. If my suggestions are take, I would like to go for a drker shade of fresh green, on which even the white logos and letterings appear as legible as they appear on the red version.

The next season witnessed several major changes in the design of the jersey and the sponsors. Stay tuned for the nect episode!
