Delhi Capitals Jerseys: Colours, Editions and Buying Guide

Delhi Capitals have worn red and blue since the franchise began as the Delhi Daredevils in 2008, kept the colours through the rename in December 2018, and have changed the balance between the two almost every season since. The tiger on the crest arrived with the new name, a rainbow kit was worn for one match a season from 2022, and Puma wove the Delhi Metro map into the 2024 shirt. This guide covers the kit as it was worn, the rename, the editions, what we hold, and how to buy a Capitals shirt in the UK.

Daredevils to Capitals

The Daredevils' kit was navy-led red and blue from 2008. On 4 December 2018 the franchise, with JSW having taken a half share and Parth Jindal as chairman, renamed itself Delhi Capitals and unveiled a tiger crest with the dome of Parliament House behind it, keeping the red and blue. Rishabh Pant had debuted for the Daredevils in April 2016; the side reached the playoffs in 2019 under Shreyas Iyer and its only final in 2020, losing to Mumbai Indians by five wickets in Dubai, the season Kagiso Rabada won the Purple Cap.

The Kit Season by Season

• 2021. Darker blue graduating to lighter tones, tiger stripes, red tiger claws on the sides, GMR on the arm, with Wrogn as merchandise partner.
• 2022. Equal parts red and blue with a larger tiger.
• Rainbow edition. A kit celebrating diversity worn for one league match in 2022 and again on 20 May 2023 against CSK. It was a match kit, not a warm-up shirt. There is no verified rainbow match in 2024.
• 2024. Puma signed as kit partner in February 2024 and wove the Delhi Metro route map into the shirt, with the Puma logo on the leading arm. Pant returned as captain.
• 2026. Unveiled 19 March 2026: red and blue vertical strips with a tiger motif, launched with Axar Patel and Jemimah Rodrigues. The club's page lists Puma as an associate partner and does not name the 2026 kit maker.

Claims to disregard: that JSW makes the kit, which confuses the owner with the manufacturer; a Lotus Temple motif; a Covid tribute kit; and a Pant quotation about the new kit feeling like a fresh start, which no source records.

What We Hold

Buying a Delhi Capitals Shirt in the UK

1. Check the crest. Daredevils shirts carry the old badge; Capitals shirts the tiger and dome from 2019.
2. Puma on the arm means 2024 or later. Earlier shirts carry other makers.
3. The Metro map is 2024 only. It is the easiest edition to identify and the most copied.
4. The rainbow kit is a one-match edition. Genuine examples are from 2022 and 2023.
5. Size up and check the seller. The club store is the reference for sponsor placement; our guide to authentic cricket shirts has the checks.
