Bold, blue and shimmering gold! Mumbai Indians' new jersey is here

Mumbai Indians unveiled their official jersey for the 2026 Indian Premier League season on Friday, and the cricket world took notice. The new kit is a striking marriage of deep, oceanic blue and shimmering gold, colours that the franchise says tell a story. Blue for the relentless, pulsating energy of Mumbai, the city that never sleeps; gold for the glory, legacy, and the five championship trophies that sit in the Paltan's cabinet.

But this is far more than a colour choice. The design carries a philosophy stitched into its very fabric. Woven throughout the jersey are repeated 'M' motifs, a subtle but powerful nod to what the franchise calls its three defining pillars: Mindset, Mentality, and Momentum . The message is deliberate, Mumbai Indians are not just unveiling a kit, they are issuing a statement of intent .

Leading the reveal were the faces of the franchise, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, and batting legend Rohit Sharma, men who between them carry the hopes of millions of fans every single season. The jersey launch itself drew an outpour of excitement from the fanbase, with many drawing comparisons to the celebrated 2020 title-winning kit , widely regarded as one of the finest in the franchise's history.

The new strip also features prominent branding from a refreshed roster of sponsors, Lauritz Knudsen, Malaysia Airlines, Oaksmith Aizon Cycles, and Skechers among them. The presence of a foreign airline sponsor has prompted some fan discussion, while the notable absence of star batter Suryakumar Yadav from the promotional poster has raised a few eyebrows, though the franchise has yet to comment on the omission.

For those eager to own a piece of the action, pre-orders are already open with the jersey priced from ₹2,499 .

It all builds toward a single destination: the IPL 2026 season, which is set to get underway on 28th March , with the grand final scheduled for 31st May in Bengaluru. This will be the 19th edition of the tournament, featuring 10 teams across 84 matches, the biggest IPL yet. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host the opening game at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

For Mumbai Indians, a franchise built on dominance, drama, and the occasional miracle, the blue and gold is more than a jersey. It is a promise. And if history has taught us anything, the Paltan rarely makes promises they don't keep.

Pre-orders for the Mumbai Indians IPL 2026 jersey are available now, starting at ₹2,499.
