The jersey was launched on blues social media platforms with hashtags #ourstowrite and pictures of blues star players posing with the jersey along with a 48 seconds promotional video that explained the importance of lines. The Inspirational video explains, “We go looking for stars and to collect them one must draw the lines. It is difficult at first but soon we get good at it. We follow the path laid by the ancestors, turning them into something else. We find that the lines are all around us we just need to connect the dots, to bridge the old and the new. For whatever we think is written, is only just a beginning of a story of our lives. And all these bridges and all these lines and all the stars in the universe, wait patiently for they are ours to write.”

Bengaluru FC’s promotional activity has been a hit among their fans. The newest entrant to ISL has been showcasing their new signings in a series of posts giving hints about the player before finally unveiling him. With fans showing quick responses and figuring out the players correctly before the final post, the blues too responded it with a recent trolling of its fan. The various strategies that the club implements for fan engagements have been one of the key reasons for the blues success, a system that many other clubs needs to follow.
