Here’s the reason why LSG players are donning maroon jerseys
The story behind LSG’s jersey switch delves deep into the intricate tapestry of sporting heritage and collaboration. This special maroon jersey is not just a uniform as it is a tribute to the illustrious legacy of the famous Indian football club Mohun Bagan Super Giants.
It is worth mentioning that the owning authority of the LSG franchise, the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, made headlines by acquiring a significant stake in the renowned ATK Mohun Bagan football club in June 2020. This strategic investment marked the beginning of a new era as the club underwent a transformation, rebranding itself as Mohun Bagan Super Giants.
