Iranian Football Club Esteghlal Unveils New Asian Championship-Inspired Kits
TEHRAN – Esteghlal Football Club has officially unveiled its new playing and training kits for the upcoming Asian competitions, with a design that pays a special tribute to the club’s historic continental achievements.
A Nod to a Glorious Legacy
The official unveiling was conducted through a video released by the club’s media ahead of the new Persian Gulf Pro League season. The new kits, produced in collaboration with the domestic sportswear company “Afam,” are designed to give the team a distinct appearance in its upcoming Asian matches. While the new playing jersey garnered mixed initial reactions from the passionate Esteghlal fanbase, the accompanying training kit has been met with widespread approval and praise for its creative design.
Training Kit Design Wins Fan Acclaim
The standout feature of the training kit is the prominent and stylish incorporation of two significant dates: 1970 and 1991. These years mark Esteghlal’s two triumphant victories in the Asian Club Championship, the continent’s most prestigious club football tournament at the time. These historic wins are the reason the club’s iconic crest proudly features two stars. By etching these golden years directly onto the fabric, the design celebrates the team’s glorious legacy and deep-rooted history in Asian football, a move that has resonated positively with its supporters.
A Strong Visual Identity for the Season Ahead
The unveiling reinforces Esteghlal’s strong visual identity as it prepares for the new season. The club is noted for having secured one of the most aesthetically impressive kits this year, with a design approach that is seen as a step ahead of its domestic rivals. The initiative highlights a focus on both honoring past glories and presenting a modern, unified front for the challenges ahead in both domestic and Asian tournaments.
