Hoops with a golden eagle on the chest and a cry embroidered on the hem: geylang boleh, the Malay boleh that means it can be done. The 2017 shirt is the work of Thailand's FBT, with EPSON as main sponsor, heir to a tradition of Japanese brands in Singaporean football, local partners on the sleeves and the S.League badge, the league Geylang inaugurated as champions in 1996.
Above the crest, two stars, one for each professional era title. And this was the season of the move from the old Bedok Stadium to Our Tampines Hub, a new home for the club that won the first professional league the country ever staged.
Here at Hoopster, the proof is embroidered in gold: eagles like hoops too.
