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.
