Punjab Kings Jerseys: Colours, Editions and Buying Guide

Punjab Kings have worn red since 2008, when the franchise was Kings XI Punjab and Preity Zinta is reported to have designed the first kit herself, but the trim has moved from white to silver to blue to gold and back again, and the 2026 shirt dropped the gold altogether. The club has never won the title, losing the finals of 2014 and 2025, and rebranded in February 2021 with a single-lion crest. This guide covers the kit as it was worn, the rebrand, who makes and sells it, what we hold, and how to buy a Punjab Kings shirt in the UK.

Kings XI Punjab, 2008 to 2020

• 2008. A red and white gradient with a two-lion shield crest, reportedly designed by co-owner Preity Zinta and delivered so late it arrived after the toss of the first match.
• 2009 to 2018. Red with silver and grey yoke stripes and trim. In 2014, the season the side reached its first final and lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by three wickets, the names and numbers went gold.
• 2019 and 2020. Blue added to the yoke stripes and sides for the first time.

So the oft-repeated line that the club has worn red and gold from the outset is wrong. Red, yes; the gold is a 2021 arrival.

Punjab Kings, 2021 Onwards

• 2021. Renamed Punjab Kings on 17 February 2021 with a single-lion shield crest, a red jersey with gold stripes, gold helmets and EbixCash as front sponsor.
• 2022 and 2023. Two diagonal silver stripes on each side.
• 2024. Unveiled at Elante Mall in Chandigarh on 16 March 2024: a saffron flame pattern, tricolour shoulders, blue arrows and a honeycomb hem, manufactured by playR from Vietnamese fabric and sold through the club site and in the UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE.
• 2025. Runners-up, losing the final to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six runs in Ahmedabad on 3 June 2025.
• 2026. Unveiled 12 March 2026: red with blue replacing the gold, a lion motif dissolving into diamond shapes, first worn against Gujarat Titans at Mullanpur on 31 March 2026, with Nippon Paint joining the shirt.

Who Makes and Sells the Shirts

playR made the 2024 fan range and remains the club's merchandise partner; T10 Sports is reported as the match-kit partner but the club has not confirmed it, so we do not name a match-kit maker. The club's store is store.punjabkingsipl.in. The team now plays its home matches at Mullanpur, outside Chandigarh, rather than Mohali.

Buying a Punjab Kings Shirt in the UK

1. Check the crest. Two lions is Kings XI, 2008 to 2020; one lion is Punjab Kings, 2021 on.
2. Check the trim. Gold stripes are 2021; silver diagonals 2022 to 2023; the flame pattern 2024; blue in place of gold 2026.
3. Know the tier. The fan edition is the supporter's shirt; the match jersey is the on-field design. Our 2025 listing is the fan edition.
4. Size up and check the seller. Indian-market shirts run small; exchanges are our returns policy. Our guide to authentic cricket shirts has the checks.
