FC Pune City unveil home & away kits for ISL season 5

The Stallions are set to begin their season on 3rd October against Delhi Dynamos.

Indian Super League (ISL) outfit FC Pune City unveiled their new look home and away kit for the 2018-19 season on Monday. Head Coach Miguel Portugal and first team players unveiled the new kits amidst fanfare at the WestEnd Mall here on Saturday.

The home kit is in a solid orange colour with lighter shade in the back (home) while away kit is a mix of grey & white in SIX5SIX’s engineered lightweight and breathable material. The distinctive mixed stripes in shades of orange, white and grey on the front reveal a shield depicting strength at the core of the team’s new armour.

FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said that after a historic season last year the new look of the kit reflects the club’s fresh approach this season. “The 2018-19 season’s kit has a brand-new look with solid shades of orange depicting our passion and a design that symbolizes energy, stability and power. These designs are an extension of our philosophy and second skin to the team. I am hoping the fans will embrace this and bring the new colours to stadium. And this wouldn’t have been possible without the backing of our official kit partners SIX5SIX in designing and bringing to life the look and fit that we only had envisioned for FC Pune City.”

Speaking about the association, Ambar Aneja, CEO SIX5SIX said, “We are thrilled to be associated with FC Pune City for the upcoming season. The new kit was engineered keeping in mind the core philosophy and brand history of the club. While the design is completely distinct from what it has been in past, it still is connected back to the roots of the club and the very state it represents. The material used will ensure that it maximises players’ performance and also showcases our expertise in creating sports gear for a team brimming with top-notch talent.”
