Ahead of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2018-19, FC Goa recently revealed their official new home kit. Instead of blue, the Gaurs will don an orange coloured kit. The blue colour stayed with the teams since the first four editions of ISL. The new jersey apart from orange has equally dominant white colour with the blue sleeve and collar trims. Meanwhile, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, who is one of the co-owners of the FC Goa franchise, took to Instagram to reveal the team chose the orange colour for this season. Indian Super League 2018–19 Schedule in PDF for Free Download: List of Full Football Match Timetable, Date, Venue & Time of ISL 5

It is wonderful to see all of you and the enthusiasm you bring every year, every season. We have chosen the colour orange this year for the jersey, which represents our fire, our focus, and hunger to win this trophy.”

“The colour and the jersey is our team attitude and the team spirit. And I am confident that we will do wonders this season. I am extremely proud to be part of the FC Goa family,” Kohli added. While ISL Wants You to Be Fan of Indian Football, Sachin Tendulkar Ends His Association With Kerala Blasters
