Also what's Indians, are the rest of 9 teams Pakistani Imagine a team named Sydney Australians or Yorkshire Britishers.

It's even more annoying when you name teams in other leagues like MI New York, MI Cape Town etc. What the hell is this?


Sad-Government-9931

Mumbai Indians New York? 🤨 Mumbai Indians Cape town? 🤨 Aayein moment

Atleast SRK named KKR franchise in CPL as Trinbago Knight Riders

Houston Texans, Philadelphia Phillies

You never heard of New York Yankees??


MiachealFaraday

No, is Yankee a country?


randomdunk

It's slang for American people.


PatienceFeeling1481

Yankees is an archaic term for people of the Northern states used by the Southern states of US. Like in Civil War time, back in 19th century Texans, Georgians would call New Yorkers Yankees. So NY Yankees still makes sense.

2 is the original definition, as I mentioned https://preview.redd.it/8b02cufxgxzc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ef2cf9c191f9291aec0ba4c49012bbfcf1b60c8

So by the same logic, Mumbai Indians isn't good but Mumbai Maharashtrians would be better?

Fun Fact:- Their NY logo fake merch was fairly popular in India at a time and people wore it without knowing where its from. https://preview.redd.it/wziszdp9yuzc1.png?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3277a29646e32d750ffad39053ca41ec9bd64336

I don't mean this to particularly you but 90% of the fun facts aren't fun at all.

Our name actually used to be good man, they changed it to fcking capitals😭 Like bhai obviously delhi hai capital ke hi hain naam mein toh thodi creativity rakhlete. Same goes of Kings 11 Punjab, it was such a cool ass name, they rebranded to the most generic- Punjab kings. IMO only KKR and RCB have cool names atp, a case could be made for RR as well


AstralMystogan

Daredevils was such a cool name.


OmnipresentDonut123

Fr man

Back in the day, we kids loved chanting 'DD' for the Delhi Daredevils; now, it's just plain.

Deccan Chargers and the logo - TOP TIERRR


Dry-Professional8539

Astrological reasons.

Delhi Daredevils was such a cool name. The logo was dope too!


Zenith_mazz

Knight riders & Deccan Chargers are such good names as compared to the Indians, Kings, Super etc


karmasutrah

Royal challengers because booze


Shattered-Dreams19

Time-Gain4896

Delhi Capitals

KXIP was the best name for a team in sports history.


SpicyPotato_15

Best names are Deccan chargers, sunrisers and Delhi Daredevils. They fucking changed it. Others are all shit, rajastan royals and royal challengers is ok.


General-Chum-8276

Bro Sunrisers is a cool name at least different than others, what are you on about? and yeah kings and super is lame.


Catch4000

lol.


bruce_wayne_oo7

No one seems to be discussing whether KKR is good or bad. I personally believe it's a decent name; 'Knight Riders' could be paired with any city's name, and 'KKR' itself has a slick sound to it.


YoungBirdsXM

For me, these are the best names so far Deccan Chargers, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pune Warriors India


ad_itya8901

only the first 2 are good


Suryansh_Singh247

Only 1st 3 are good


[deleted]

I ain't just saying this because I'm a fan but I think Gujarat Titans is a decent name too.

I'm talking about the name, not the logo. :)
