KOLKATA (India): The ATK Mohun Bagan administration has promised to make obligatory modifications on the ‘three star’ logo on its coaching jersey.
The Mohun Bagan fans took to the social media to vent their anger and protest against the ISL logo that has been pictured on the jersey sleeve.
They were unhappy that ATK Mohun Bagan’s new jerseys bore three stars on the left sleeve with the text “Champions 2019-20.”
Mohun Bagan honorary general secretary Srinjoy Bose issued a statement on Monday to address fans’ concerns on the recent events surrounding ATK Mohun Bagan.
Mohun Bagan had earlier this year merged with ATK to form a new entity called ATK Mohun Bagan, which will play in the Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21).
The other issue of contention was the ISL website attributing all of ATK’s previous stats to ATK Mohun Bagan, and referring to the club as the defending champion.
The ISL’s new promo, which showed a Mohun Bagan jersey and an ATK jersey being tossed into a washing machine and emerging as ATK-Mohun Bagan’s jersey, also did not sit well with the fans.
Seeking to address their concerns, Bose said in a statement that Mohun Bagan was “not privy to the details of the recent promotional video launched in a different social media handles of ISL and broadcasted on the Star Network”.
