KOLKATA: SC East Bengal unveiled their new home, away and third kits on Monday ahead of the upcoming 2020-21 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) season.
The three kits designed by Bengal-based fashion designer Meghna Nayak are inspired by the symbols related to East Bengal club and the West Bengal state.
“Meghna Nayak’s concepts for SC East Bengal, inspired by the Flame, the ‘Ilish’ or Hilsa fish, and the Royal Bengal Tiger of the Sundarbans instantly appealed to the club,” SC East Bengal said in a release.
The home kit is a stylised version of the flame in the club logo. The rendition in red and yellow continues to “signal the dynamism and firepower” of the team while adapting it to new design sensibilities. ‘Ilish’ or Hilsa fish, another cultural symbol of East Bengal club has been used in the away kit. The third kit is inspired by the Royal Bengal Tiger of the famous Sundarbans which is the world’s largest mangroves forest.
