Lucknow Super Giants logo revealed
Ahmedabad IPL team is yet to reveal their logo, while Lucknow announced its official name.
The team turned to social media to reveal its official logo, claiming that the 'mythical bird Garuda' was the inspiration for the design.
"The mythical bird Garuda- who is a protector and enthroned with the power to move swiftly, has inspired us to create the winged emblem of the team. Garuda is omnipresent in every Indian culture and sub-culture," LSG said in a statement.
"The tri-colour wings of the entity, symbolically represent Lucknow Super Giants' Pan-India appeal. The body of the bird has been formed by a blue coloured bat to signify the game of cricket, there is a red ball with an orange seam too. It is like an auspicious 'Jay tilak'," LSG added.
The RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group owns the Lucknow Super Giants, an IPL team in Lucknow. The group previously owned the Rising Pune Supergiants, who are no longer in the IPL. Prior to the auction, the Lucknow Super Giants selected Indian opener KL Rahul, Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, and uncapped spinner Ravi Bishnoi as their selection picks. KL Rahul was signed for Rs 17 crore, Stoinis for Rs 9.2 crore, and Bishnoi for Rs 4 crore by the franchise. Hardik Pandya (captain), Rashid Khan, and Shubman Gill are the three draft choices for the Ahmedabad-based team ahead of the auction.
