RCB Green Jersey IPL 2025: Full Reveal Details and Wearing Date

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) unveiled their special green jersey for the IPL 2025 season as part of their long-standing ‘Go Green’ initiative, aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and raising awareness about a cleaner, greener planet. This tradition, which began in 2011, sees RCB donning a green kit for one match each IPL season to highlight ecological concerns.

When Was the RCB Green Jersey for IPL 2025 Revealed?

The green jersey for IPL 2025 was officially revealed on March 19, 2025. The unveiling took place shortly after the team showcased their primary red and blue jersey at the RCB Unbox Event on March 17, 2025, held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the primary jersey was launched with much fanfare during the Unbox Event, attended by fans and featuring live performances, the green jersey was introduced separately, emphasizing its unique significance. Rajat Patidar, RCB’s newly appointed captain for the IPL 2025 season, was the key figure involved in unveiling the green jersey, continuing his role in presenting the team’s kits following the primary jersey reveal.

Design Highlights of RCB’s 2025 Green Jersey

The 2025 green jersey features a fresh and stylish design, incorporating black stripes alongside the traditional green, which has been well-received by fans for its bold and modern look. Like previous iterations, this jersey is made from recycled waste collected at stadiums, aligning with RCB’s sustainability efforts. On average, each match generates around 8 tons of waste, including dry, food, and recyclable materials, which are repurposed into these eco-friendly kits. The jersey became available for purchase on the official Puma website, RCB’s kit manufacturer, shortly after its reveal on March 19, 2025.

RCB’s IPL 2025 Schedule: When Will They Wear the Green Jersey?

While the exact match in which RCB will wear the green jersey during IPL 2025 has not been specified yet, it is typically worn during a day game, often at home in Bengaluru. However, in past seasons, such as IPL 2024, RCB has occasionally worn it in away matches (e.g., against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens). The team’s IPL 2025 campaign begins against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 22, 2025, at Eden Gardens, with their first home game scheduled for April 2, 2025, against Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Further details about the green jersey match are expected closer to the season’s start.
