The jersey is made of recycled waste collected at the stadium and is usually worn in an afternoon game, which is why RCB is wearing it against KKR, its first 3:30 PM match of the season.

The first time RCB played in a green jersey was in 2011 against the former IPL franchise, Kochi Tuskers, in which it won by nine wickets.
