Speaking on the partnership, Hrishikesh Shende, Lead – Marketing, RoundGlass Sports, said: “We are delighted to partner with a home-grown brand like SIX5SIX that has, over a very short span of time, made a large footprint in the football ecosystem in India. Team kits are an iconic and an indelible part of a club’s identity, so it was vital for us to partner with a brand like SIX5SIX that shares the same love for the game as we do. This season, the home jersey represents an abstraction of the five rivers from which Punjab gets its name and the ripple effect that we as RoundGlass want to create with our investment in and vision for football. We are very excited about SIX5SIX’s approach to design and can’t wait to curate a range of RoundGlass Punjab FC-licensed merchandise for our fans.”
