Apart from the newly added third star on top of the team crest, KKRโ€™s jersey also carries a special golden IPL badge on the arm this year, introduced by the tournament to recognise the defending champions of the 2025 edition. Embellished with a design themed around the โ€œThree-edged Star,โ€ the jerseys were simultaneously launched for sale, made available for purchase on Knight Club, the teamโ€™s official app, website and KKRโ€™s social media channels.

Choosing 03/03 as the date to launch their new Purple and Gold threads, Knight Riders also announced a unique move to go from being a global franchise to a notch higher - out in the cosmos with their #InTheKnightSky campaign. Three actual stars in the sky have been registered and named after the teamโ€™s inspiring team motto: 'Korbo', 'Lorbo', and 'Jeetbo', as a tribute to their championship wins in 2012, 2014, and 2024.

They finished runners-up in the 2021 season, staging one of the most remarkable comebacks in the tournament's history. KKR will begin their IPL 2025 campaign with the season opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens on March 22, in the hopes of adding a fourth star above their badge.
