Two-time runners-up Kerala Blasters FC unveiled a new home kit ahead of the upcoming season of the ISL that gets underway on Friday, November 20
Kerala Blasters FC on Saturday unveiled the club's Home Kit for the upcoming season of the Indian Super League (ISL). This was officially confirmed by the Kerala Blasters FC on their official Twitter handle. The Blasters have been donning a yellow home kit ever since the inception of the tournament in 2014.
Here's a look at the Kerala football club's new yet unique jersey for the upcoming tournament:
What's so unique about the Blasters' new jersey?
The new jersey in the club's customary yellow and blue colors pays homage to the state of Kerala.
The kit celebrates the culture of the state through the prominent Yellow hue that is core to traditional elements unique to Kerala like the jackfruit, banana chips, banana fritters, Vishukani Pookal, and many others that are seen in an everyday life of a Malayali.
The horizontal lines that run along the breadth of the jersey are representative of the classical set saree/mundu kara. Overall, the home jersey symbolizes a sense of home for the squad and our supporters while donning the skin, wherever they are.
