Salgaocar Sports Club, which has now been re-christened as Salgaocar Football club launched their new logo, new jersey and new anthem at the hands of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar here.
The logo, unveiled last evening at function, has a crest which is the symbol of glory, mining tools which highlights the foundation of the V M Salgaocar Group (who are into mining business primarily), a conch which symbolises a new hope and an auspicious beginning and a ribbon with fire indicating pride and passion.
The Club also has a tagline which states: "More than a game, it's our passion."
The new jersey which will see Salgaocar in Red colour, has been designed by the Football Club Chairman Shivanand's daughter Swati.
The anthem has three versions though the tune remains the same in each song. The chorus is in Konkani only for Goan fans.
Speaking on the occasion, Parrikar, who was the chief guest called on administrators, players and fans to make Goa a football paradise on the world map.
The Chief Minister while reminding that he himself played football at school and college level said his vision was to see that 50 per cent of the Indian team made from Goans.
Parrikar, who declared football as the official sport of Goa, promised funds and infrastructure for the game.
Shivanand who welcomed the gathering, thanked the Parrikar-led government for initiating many a work for the development of football and also in planning a scheme for providing jobs to outstanding sportspersons.
He said though the club is now a separate entity and no more a corporate division of the company, the commitment will remain the same.
Recalling the National teams recent Nehru Cup triumph with their tiki-taka style of football, Shivanand said that it was Ratnam (Dempo) and Shanmugham (Salgaocar), who had introduced such a style in late 80s.
Rocus Lamare and Nicolau Colaco were presented with the "Longest Standing Player" and "Best Improvement" awards respectively on the occasion.
Two of Salgaocar's team members, Karanjit Singh and Francis Fernandes were also felicitated for being part of India's Nehru Cup 2012 winning team.
