Surprised to know that it's Ceres-Negros in new avatar. They are regular in AFC Cup. But this name change made it completely unrecognisable, in other words, destroyed it's identity.
What a total destruction of an well recognized brand. Maybe they changed it as word Negros is racist towards black people. As pro black protest erupts all over the world maybe they don't want to take any Chance's.
The name change is definitely because of the ‘N’ word being there. I urge all of you to stop using this derogatory term even to just reference someone else saying it.
It is unacceptable in 2020 for people to not recognize how racist this word is.
It was not renamed because of the 'N' word, but a change in ownership. Ceres was associated with the previous owner and Negros is a large island in Philippines, where the team is based. Are they going to rename the island? no.

Seems some people (not all) cannot see Indian football beyond ISL nowadays
Morgan had won zilch in the ISL, winning eight trophies in his first stint with EB in three seasons, as correctly mentioned by Goal
During his first stint, the Red and Golds had won a total of eight trophies in three years
