TMC’s Mamata faction unveils new logo with football‑player symbol

The Mamata‑led faction of the All India Trinamool Congress unveiled a fresh party emblem on Thursday, replacing its long‑standing flower motif with a stylised football‑player figure. The new logo is intended to resonate with West Bengal’s large base of football enthusiasts, especially in urban centres such as Kolkata. Party officials said the design reflects dynamism, youthfulness and a commitment to grassroots sport culture ahead of upcoming polls. The change comes as the TMC seeks to refresh its visual identity and strengthen its connection with younger voters. Critics have pointed out that the timing of the rebrand, close to the state election cycle, suggests a strategic move to reinvigorate the party’s image among the electorate.
