Colours, logo and mascot

Colours

Puneri Paltan's current team colors are orange and vermilion, traditional colors in Maratha culture. Though the logo was changed in Season VII, its colours remained the same.

Logo and mascot

Puneri Paltan's former logo had Dhal (shield) & two talwars behind it. An illustration of a side-faced lionhead was also present in that logo. There was a Chandrakor on the 'i' of the word 'puneri'. The logo had orange and silver colours.

The current logo was introduced in Season VII. The new logo has a front-facing lion-head illustration. The lion has a white Chandrakor Tilak on its forehead. The Lion gives a sense of dominance, power, & strength.
