Primal Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a new cricket league using the Twenty20 (20-over) format and featuring players from all the major cricket nations. Players who signed up for the IPL were then auctioned off to the teams a few months ago, so with the exception of a few local "icons" from the team's home city, each team is a combined bag of talent from around the world.

Primal Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 I will try and get some pictures of the uniforms as they become available... right now the Knight Riders are batting on my TV and their black with metallic gold ensemble is very fetching...

The Nation Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 This is a real good league. The jerseys are rather horrid, but this is like all star cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmered Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 All the names possible in the world and they picked that?... and no Chief Wahoo?!?!?!My concept from last year is valid again:As for the IPL logos, I quite like the Deccan Chargers, even if it does look at least inspired by Lamborghini.The worst, probably the Kolkota (Michael) Knight Riders.

totc Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Apu!None of these were as lame as the attempt to bring 20/20 cricket to the U.S. a few years ago. Like "D.C. Forward." Or "San Bernardino Unity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arts11 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wow, so they have the Kings, then the Super Kings (amid all the other royalty-based names which is kinda weird since I thought they hated imperialism there)? I'm kinda surprised they don't have a team called the Ultra Kings lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 That helmet on the Knight Riders logo is new; I don't remember seeing that the last time I looked this up. I was about to say they were probably my favourite of the logos, but that helmet just drags it down. So, I'd probably go with the Royal Challengers now.
