IPL 2018: Delhi Daredevils unveil new jersey for upcoming season

The Delhi Daredevils have unveiled their jersey for the eleventh edition for the Indian Premier League, with CEO Hemant Dua sharing pictures of the new look on social media.

The new jersey carries the same colours from the previous editions, with the red and blue prominent throughout the uniform, with the addition of an orange tinge which, according to a tweet from Dua, 'signifies the rising sun'.

The side profiles reveal that the left side of the clothing, along the side of the shoulder, is red in colour, whereas the right arm is completely submerged in blue.
