The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have unveiled their new jersey for the IPL 2025 season, and it includes a distinctive feature: a Golden Badge on the arm.
This special emblem is not just a design element but holds significant meaning, marking KKR as the defending champions of the IPL 2024.
Introduction of the Golden Badge Concept
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has introduced the Golden Badge concept to recognize and honor the defending champions of the tournament.
This tradition is inspired by European football leagues, where teams like Manchester City wear a similar badge to signify their status as champions.
For IPL 2025, KKR will be the first team to wear this exclusive emblem, symbolizing their victory in the previous season.
KKR’s Victory in IPL 2024
KKR won the IPL 2024 title by defeating the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final. This victory marked their third IPL championship, following their previous wins in 2012 and 2014.
The Golden Badge on their jersey serves as a reminder of their recent success and their status as the team to beat in the upcoming season.
Design and Significance of the Jersey
The new KKR jersey features a vibrant purple and gold design, with a third star added to the team crest to commemorate their three IPL titles.
The Golden Badge on the arm is a prominent addition, highlighting KKR’s achievement as defending champions.
This unique design element not only reflects the team’s history and spirit but also sets them apart from other teams in the league.
KKR in IPL 2025
KKR will begin their IPL 2025 campaign on March 22 with a match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Eden Gardens.
As they aim to defend their title, the Golden Badge will serve as a constant reminder of their status and the challenge ahead.
