IPL 2019: Ranking the jerseys of all the teams

The 12th edition of the Indian Premier League has well and truly arrived. We haven't even crossed the halfway mark, and we have already seen all kinds of games.

A game in which less than 150 runs were scored, a couple of last-over thrillers, high-scoring encounters and one-sided games. We also witnessed a Super Over between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals at the Feroz Shah Kotla.

If that wasn't all, we also saw Ravichandran Ashwin mankading Jos Buttler and a no-ball of the last ball that wasn't spotted by the umpire. We also saw Krunal Pandya give Mayank Agarwal a warning instead of directly mankading him. We have seen it all and there is simply nothing else to see. Sanju Samson blasted SRH's feared bowling attack for a century whereas young Prithvi Shaw was dismissed on 99.

We also saw Jonny Bairstow and David Warner rip apart RCB with a 185 run opening stand, in which both of them smashed centuries.

The likes of Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh have turned back the clock with a couple of breathtaking performances. Apart from the teams' performances, the jerseys worn by the teams are also judged by fans. While some of the jerseys are quite eye-catching, there are some others that aren't good enough.

On that note, let us rank the jerseys of all the 8 teams.

#8 Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab don't have anything write home about when it comes to their jersey. The name of the primary sponsor on the front of the jersey hasn't been placed very well and apart from that, it is just plain red. The trousers are white in colour and lack creativity. It is the same jersey they had last season and once again, they have failed to produce an eye-catching jersey.

#7 Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals have left all their baggage behind and have started afresh for the new season. A new name, a new logo, a new jersey, a new squad, the Capitals have changed it all. They have put together a decent jersey and even the stripes on the jersey look good. The trousers are great, and if one had to be honest, they make for better viewing than the shirt. It is highly different from the jersey they wore the last time around, and they would be hoping for a change in fortune as well.

#6 Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals have changed their jersey colour from blue to pink this season. This way, there will be no confusion for fans when they play against the Mumbai Indians! The franchise has gone pink this season in light of their city. Jaipur is known as the "Pink City" and hence, the jersey colour. The mixing of pink and blue at the top of the jersey is good. Even the trousers look good, but there are better jerseys in this season's IPL.

#5 Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have pretty much retained the same jersey from last season, and the only notable change is the black stripes on the shirt. These stripes haven't really added anything great to the jersey, and have, in fact, reduced the quality. MI has produced some of the most eye-catching jerseys in the past, but this certainly isn't one that will be remembered for long.

#4 Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings have a great jersey at their disposal, and it is a jersey that can grab your attention with utmost ease. Yellow is one of the brightest colours, and they are one of the best teams. The lion in the lower half of the jersey is visible, unlike the lion in KXIP's jersey, which is small and not very visible.

The jersey is an exact replica of their previous one, even the sponsors on the jersey are the same. Their jersey has improved greatly with time, and this is a perfect example of that.

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore have been pretty good with their jersey design over the last few years, and it has been the playing side of things that the fans haven't appreciated. The red colour in the top half of the jersey combining with the black colour in the lower half is simply glorious. Even their black trousers blend perfectly with the shirt.

#2 Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad once again has a great jersey and the orange shirt with the black trousers go hand-in-hand. The jersey looks sharp with orange being the main colour and black on the sides and sleeves. It is quite simple, but it is one that can't go without grabbing eyeballs. SRH didn't put together great jerseys during their initial years, but this season their jersey designers have been on the money.

#1 Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders has delivered some of the best IPL jerseys ever and this one will be up there with the best. The Purple colour at the heart of the jersey and Gold on the top, bottom and sleeves of the shirt, is a treat to the eye. Their trousers go hand-in-hand with their shirt, and this definitely deserves to be on top. However, it wouldn't be wrong to say that their jersey from 2018 is better than this. Having said that, this jersey definitely has enough in it to be on top.
