Through triumphs and failures, players entering and exiting
the club’s books and all the trials and tribulations that go hand-in-glove with
the beautiful game, one constant through it all is a strong fan-base. The fans
are ultimately what make the club. And there is no sight greater for players
than playing to a packed house, with fans decked in their team’s colours.
Fans of FC Goa finally got a peek of what the team will
sport in the first edition of the ISL. The Adidas team kit was unveiled during
a ceremony at the Palladium Hotel in Mumbai. Talking about the team kit, Tushar
Goculdas, Brand Director, Adidas India, said, “Adidas is the number one football
brand in the world and we are excited to partner with FC Goa, the team
representing one of the most passionate centres of football in India. The team
is supported by a strong backbone, with owners having great footballing
heritage, Virat Kohli- a world class athlete and passionate football fan and
Zico, one of the greatest artists of the beautiful game. We are excited to
unveil the team kit today, which has been created by our global design team and
beautifully captures the essence of Goa. The team jersey will be available to
FC Goa fans to buy in a few weeks.”

Conrad Barretto, founder of The Football Dugout, Goa’s
largest footballing forum, shared his views on the jersey, saying, “While we
don’t have a sponsor on the kit yet, I quite like it. It’s good, simple and not
‘fancy’, which is good. The combination of blue and orange is complimentary.”
Further details about the club’s official merchandise are
not available at the moment, but fans will doubtlessly stay glued to their
communication devices as the countdown to the ISL gathers even greater
momentum.
