KOLKATA: Ahead of the fourth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL), which kicks off on November 17, ATK unveiled its new team jersey for the 2017 season here on Monday.
ATK’s principal owner Sanjiv Goenka, along with head coach Teddy Sheringham and captain Robbie Keane, were present during the unveiling of the new jersey of the team.
ATK, whose new tag line is ‘Amra Team Kolkata’ loosely translating to ‘We are team Kolkata’, will play their first match against Kerala Blasters FC on November 17 in Kochi.
The ISL 2017 and I-League are scheduled to take place simultaneously. Goenka, however, does not want to think much about the challenge regarding pulling crowd at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan, venue for both the tournaments.
“We are a young club. We will never be able to compete with clubs like Mohan Bagan and East Bengal. I am hopeful that our supporters will come out to support us fully,” the principal owner added.
“I am confident that they will continue to support us in the same measure on the enthusiasm they have supported us in the past,” Goenka added.
About the new jersey, Goenka said: “We are happy to unveil the team’s new jersey for the upcoming fourth season of Indian Super League. The new jersey signifies the passion and the burning desire of the team to win. Genesis advertising has come up with an impeccable design for the new jersey.”
