Transport United FC to Debut New Home Kits Tomorrow
Celebrating 400 Years of Zhung Dratshang: Transport United FC Unveils New Home Jersey
In 2022, Transport United FC undertook a significant redesign of their club logo to commemorate 400 years of the Zhung Dratshang. The updated logo, revealed today in a special ceremony, now features the color #700004, a deep, rich shade of red. This profound hue is associated with passion, strength, and tradition, symbolizing courage, love, and sacrifice.
In alignment with this new brand color, the club also unveiled their new home jersey, dedicated to the 400-year anniversary of the Zhung Dratshang. During the ongoing BOB Premier League 2024, the team has played three matches in their white home kits. However, tomorrow, Transport United FC will proudly don their new maroon home kits for the first time in their match against Phuentsholing Heroes FC at Changlimithang Stadium. This maroon jersey will become the standard attire for all future home matches played at Changlimithang.
The integration of #700004 and the warm, earthy shade of yellow #d8b763 into the logo reflects the historical and spiritual significance of the monastic community in Bhutan. These colors honor the legacy of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel, who established the first formal monastic community at Chari Monastery in Thimphu in 1622. This establishment was a pivotal moment in unifying Bhutan as a nation-state in the 17th century.
The new jerseys hold significant emotional value, not just for their colors but also for the hashtag #BhutanFirst, inscribed on the front. This dedication to the land of Bhutan, inspired by His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, emphasizes the club’s commitment to their country above all else. It is a sentiment that reflects the pride and gratitude of being born in Bhutan.
Transport United FC’s redesigned logo and new kits symbolize the club’s dedication to preserving and honoring Bhutan’s rich cultural heritage while promoting the spirit of sportsmanship and unity.
