Almost three weeks ahead of the start of the brand new edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals (DC) greeted their fans by unveiling an all-new jersey for the season. The Shreyas Iyer-led side, who made it to the final of the tournament last year in the UAE, shared a couple of clips of their new jersey on social media platforms.
Delhi Capitals have undergone many changes since the inception of the T20 extravaganza way back in 2008. But it underwent a complete overhaul ahead of IPL 2019 when Delhi Daredevils changed their name to Delhi Capitals. The Capitals have played 2 seasons with the new name so far under a completely new set of support staff.
And now, ahead of the 14th season of IPL, Delhi Capitals have changed their jersey. Barring a few red stripes, the new jersey is not very different than the one the team wore in IPL 2020. The new jersey has red tiger claws on the sides that ‘makes the overall appeal extremely dynamic’. According to the franchise, ‘The new Delhi Capitals jersey will continue to be dominated by blue (representing stability and confidence), and red (symbolising energy, passion & aggression).
