New I-League side Bharat FC today launched their three match kits and announced their first-team line-up for the inaugural season here.

The club also announced Nivia as the club's official apparel partner for the 2014-15 season.

Bharat FC will compete in its debut I-League season which kicks off on January 17. Bharat FC will play their first home match at the Balewadi stadium here January 24 against Dempo SC.

At today's event, Bharat FC unveiled their home, away and third kit, with the players modelling the striking jerseys on the ramp. The home, away and the third kit have been labelled 'Together, Forever and Triumphant' in keeping with the club's motto.
 

Music composers Ajay-Atul were also present for the kit-launch. The duo announced that they would be composing the official Bharat FC anthem and will be performing it live at the club's first game.

The home kit of Bharat FC is a rich shade of blue with the 'peoples' football', an integral part of the Bharat FC club-crest, prominently displayed on the chest.

The away kit has been designed in a striking combination of red and white, with the player huddle motif being used subtly. The third kit is entirely white with a blue and red band running across the chest. Red denotes passion and vitality while blue connotes truth and loyalty, values that are the keystones of Bharat FC.

Managing Director of Bharat FC, Amit Kalyani, said that a lot of contemplation and effort had gone into the design and production of the match kits.

"When we first started designing our jerseys, we did not want to have a run-of-the-mill design. We wanted something that was classy yet sporty. Another thing we concentrated on was selecting the right colours for every kit. A lot of work has gone in to the final design and we are happy with the result. All our three kits are unique, visually striking and very comfortable to wear," he said.
