Give the franchisees some time. Lets us see how they take their brands forward. I think the names fall flat because we compare them to the names in the other leagues abroad.

Even Kolkatta Knightriders is most likely to have been thought by a desperate need for 'double Ks' Mumbai Indian sucks biggest, indeed! Even Mumbai United would have been a less sucky derivation (and I didnt spend even a minute to come up with this one). Utter rubbish..I say. Definitely not looking forward to IPL (or ICL).

I think it was Sachin's call given the "Indians" aspect of it. But its better than Chennai Superkings (read: as opposed to ICL's Chennai Superstars). I would've liked it had the teams been named according to the city's folklore. Perhaps Kolkata Howrahs? (or thats just really bad. I don't know but you get the point.)
