The new kits are expected to launch prior to the commencement of the upcoming season of ISL. They will also be a unique expression of the club’s ethos and SIX5SIX’s unique design language.
The new merchandise will be available through the brand’s website. It will also be found at a certain set of retailers on-ground in Kerala.
“A jersey is something which brings an identity to a club and the color yellow has reverberated with the state of Kerala and across the country on match days. We are happy to associate with a home-grown brand like SIX5SIX that understands the pulse and emotions of a football fan. We recognize a great cultural fit with a young and vibrant brand like SIX5SIX. I am confident that this association is ought to set a new benchmark.”, said Nikhil Bhardwaj, Director, Kerala Blasters FC.
Pretty poorly. The Blasters managed to win only three games in the 2020-21 season of the ISL. They finished 10th in the 11-team league table and were never in with a chance of making the play-offs.
They only recorded three wins and 8 draws in the season, thus ensuring their lowly finish. However, the team are going to be under a new manager this year.
Ivan Vukomanovic of Serbia will be the one taking charge of the side for next season. He’s had stints at Standard Liege and Cyprus side Apollon Limassol.
