## Identity

[edit]

The brand-new logo, which is a dynamically posed Bhima wielding his heavy Gada (mace), powerfully leaning forward with his arm and reaching out strikingly, exemplifies Haryana Steelers' core values of resilience, strength, and tenacity. The logo also captures the action and emotion of an energetic and fierce warrior, be it on the battleground or on the Kabaddi mat.[4]
