The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have decided to make a significant change to their jersey for the IPL 2024 season. The colors of black, red and gold have been fundamental to their jerseys over the years.
However, this time around, RCB decided to replace the black from the IPL 2023 jersey with blue and have made red and blue the predominant combination in their new kit. The franchise also changed its logo and the name went from Royal Challengers 'Bangalore' to Royal Challengers 'Bengaluru'.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) weren't amused by the new look of the jersey. Some felt they needed to retain the black and gold, while many claimed that the jersey looked similar to the colour combination used by the Delhi Capitals.
