IPL 2022: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the new Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, on Monday, revealed the logo of the side ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. The KL Rahul-led franchise said that its brand identity draws inspiration from ancient Indian mythology.
“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’,” it added.
