Kolkata, March 20, 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders have turned back the clock by unveiling a collection of vintage merchandise inspired by iconic black and gold jersey donned by the franchise from its initial season in 2008.
At Knights Unplugged 2.0, KKR showcased the merchandise collection for their partners SIX5SIX, Valiente, and Fancode in a fashion show. The retro black and gold fan jersey was the showstopper at the event, amongst the other merchandises unveiled.

Speaking on the collaboration, Binda Dey, CMO, Knight Riders Sports said, “We are thrilled to introduce this vintage collection of KKR merchandise, bringing a cherished part of our history back to life for our fans. While the team will continue to wear the iconic purple and gold jersey, this special edition fan jersey serves as both a nostalgic tribute and a limited-edition collector’s item.”
