XtraTime Web Desk: Keeping alive the club’s 131-year-old legacy, ATK Mohun Bagan board of directors on Friday decided to retain the iconic green and maroon jersey and the sailing boat logo.
The new entity will be known as ATK Mohun Bagan and the Mariners’ historic ‘sailing boat’ logo will also remain barring the addition of ATK, which has acquired an 80 per cent stake in the century old club.
Dr. Sanjiv Goenka Principal Owner ATK Mohun Bagan Private Limited said “My pronams to the many legends who have over decades contributed to the great legacy that Mohun Bagan is. I seek their blessings in this new journey. Mohun Bagan has been close to my heart since childhood. I have had the honour to watch the Green and Maroon play some of their best football. We respect legacy and have retained the same jersey which generations down the line have embraced, adored and loved. My dream is to establish ATK Mohun Bagan as a world class team which earns its place in the international circuit.”
After the board members revealed the new name of the team many football enthusiasts welcomed the decision. Here are some tweets:
