Sunrisers Hyderabad Jerseys: Colours, Editions and Buying Guide

Sunrisers Hyderabad have worn orange in every season since their first in 2013, when the Sun Group's new franchise replaced the Deccan Chargers and unveiled an orange and black kit built around the sunrise in the badge. The shade has shifted, the secondary colour has come and gone, and the shirt now matches the one worn by the owners' South African side, but the orange has never changed. This guide covers the kit season by season, the shirts the franchise actually sells, what we hold, and how to buy one in the UK without getting a fake.

Why Sunrisers Wear Orange

The BCCI terminated the Deccan Chargers franchise in October 2012 and Sun TV Network won the replacement Hyderabad franchise later that month. The new club was named for its owner's sun badge, and the first jersey, unveiled on 8 March 2013, paired orange with black. The team has never published a longer explanation than the name, and the stories about Hyderabad sunsets and local cuisine that circulate online are fan embroidery rather than club history. The "Orange Army" nickname for the support followed the colour, not the other way round.

The Kit Season by Season

• 2013. Puma-made debut kit, orange and black, with grey heavy on the early version. The side reached the playoffs in its first season and finished fourth.
• 2014 onwards. TYKA took over the kit. Orange stayed primary; black and grey alternated as the secondary colour through the middle of the decade.
• 2016. The title season. Sunrisers beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight runs in the final at the Chinnaswamy on 29 May 2016, David Warner making 69 as captain and Ben Cutting taking the match award. Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the Purple Cap that year with 23 wickets and again in 2017 with 26.
• 2018. Runners-up to Chennai Super Kings.
• 2022. An all-orange kit, the plainest of the franchise's designs.
• 2024. On 7 March 2024 the franchise returned to orange and black in a zigzag mesh design that mirrored the kit of its SA20 sister side, Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Sunrisers reached the final and were bowled out for 113 by Kolkata Knight Riders, the lowest total in an IPL final.
• 2025 and 2026. The same orange and black zigzag, with sponsor changes: Dream11 on the front in 2025, Shree Cement in 2026.

Where the Shirts Come From

Sunrisers do not run their own online shop. Merchandise is sold through two partners: Wrogn Active, the lifestyle and merchandise partner since 2022 and renewed for 2026, and playR, which has held the fan-jersey rights since 2025. No source we can find names the manufacturer of the playing kit for 2025 or 2026, so we do not either. If a listing claims a kit maker for a recent Sunrisers shirt, treat that as the seller's guess.

What We Hold

We list the 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad official fan jersey at £41.99 and it is currently sold out in every size. Sunrisers stock reaches us in small quantities and goes quickly, so the choose your own collection is the place to check rather than this page. Two related shirts are worth knowing about: the Sunrisers Eastern Cape SA20 match jersey, the same orange on the same owner's South African side and the design the 2024 IPL kit copied, which we stock when sizes allow, and the IPL mystery box, where Sunrisers is one of the teams in the pool.

Buying a Sunrisers Shirt in the UK

1. Know the tier. playR's fan jersey is a polyester supporter's shirt with the sponsor set simplified; a match or player edition mirrors the on-field shirt and costs more. Both are official.
2. Check the season. The 2024, 2025 and 2026 shirts share a design and differ in sponsors. A seller who cannot say which season it is cannot say much else.
3. Size up. Our Sunrisers listing recommends going one size up from your usual UK size, and that applies to most shirts made for the Indian market.
4. Check the seller. Wrogn and playR are the sanctioned channels in India; in the UK, buy from a retailer that states league, season and edition. Our guide to authentic cricket shirts has the checks.
