Something's different in the second edition of the Indian Premiere League, and we're not just referring to South Africa. There are new members, new team owners, new captains and a whole new wardrobe for everyone.
Jerseys have changed - some have added new colour and some new collars - and eveningwear and leisure dressing has been added to wardrobes. Mohali team co-owner Preity Zinta turned designer and revamped the jerseys of her team.
The shades of red are brighter and silver has replaced gray. Sajid Shamin, executive director marketing and product, Reebok India, (that worked with Preity on the design) says, "Red signifies confidence and energy with subtle mix of silver to keep the style quotient high.
" Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team has an all-new design. There is more gold and the logo has been highlighted differently.
The actor was closely involved in the redesign with designer Manish Malhotra. "I have added more stripes on sleeves and have given some accessories like backpacks and scarves to make the whole styling edgy.
There is also leisure and evening wear where we have incorporated grays and whites to make them stylish and look cool for parties," says Malhotra. The teams from Rajasthan and Hyderabad have also made a few changes in their garments.
Rajiv Mehta, CEO Puma, says, "We've gotten rid of collars for both the teams and for Hyderabad's team we have a new midnight blue jersey." Though there's no new uniform for the Chennai team, they do have custom made evening wear.
Vijay Chako, the spokesperson says, "This year the evening wear has been styled by Peter England for the team." Rajasthan's team has new evening and day wear in their wardrobe.
Mehta says, "Shilpa's suggestion to our design team was that the team should look cool, we agreed and designed on those lines." Designer Kunal Rawal, who has designed active daywear and eveningwear for the Rajasthan team, says, "For active daywear I have designed an off white T-shirt with deer insignia suggesting a safari look as they are in South Africa.
To top it off we have given an off white jacket with emblems of Indian battalions as buttons. For eveningwear we have a bandhgala in charcoal black.
" For Delhi's boys there is no more black and for Mumbai there's a dash of red. Tushar Goculdas, director marketing and sales, Adidas India, says, "The Mumbai team have struck to their original colour but have added a hint of red to signify the passion and vigour of Mumbai.
