Sometime back, the logo and display picture of Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore had disappeared. Even their players didn’t seem to be aware of what was initially. Finally, the new rebranded logo was revealed today, which seems to have blown away captain Virat Kohli who reacted to the same on Twitter.
LOGO ka kaam hai kehna. 😄 Thrilled to see our new @rcbtweets logo. It embodies the Bold pride and challenger spirit that our players bring to the field. Can’t wait for #IPL2020 #NewDecadeNewRCB 🤩 https://t.co/n8c24JqbAl

And now we just witnessed your word play 🙏

Describing the new logo, Sanjeev Churiwala, Chairman of Royal Challengers Bangalore, earlier said, "The elements in the logo is a commitment to continuously entertain and engage with fans who are the force behind Royal Challengers Bangalore. We believe a change in identity for the club was necessary to effectively live and breathe this vision and celebrate the passion for cricket and playing bold."
Despite having world-class players, RCB remains one of the franchises to have been playing since the beginning of IPL in 2008 but has never lifted the trophy. Fans and the franchise are hoping for a reversal of fortunes this time around.
