Today Kochi IPL team came up with the most ridiculous name ever given to a sports team.

INDI COMMANDOS

And like that was not enough they later changed the name within 2 hours two an EPIC

INDI COMMANDOS KERALA :shock::-x

And even that was not enough for them and they went ahead and created a Cartoon Network Logo

*www.kochivibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/indi-commandos-kochi-ipl-team-name-logo.jpg

I think Vivek Venugopal(CEO of the Team) , Shashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar were smoking pot when they decided the team and this fuking logo.

Real disgrace to Kochiites like myself.

Now will have to cheer UP UP PINDI COMMANDOS :cry:

^Mortein Mosquito Coil

May be they thought like this Kochi is famous for it's mosquitoes.Indi Commandos Kerala will provide relief to Kochi just like Mortein Mosquito coil does.

If that is true then that was some serious sh1t they were smoking :)

Now "Pindi Commies" have just proved me wrong

this is hilarious...my sympathy goes with my mallu friends.

But if they play really well, it will dwarf out. So we can take it easy :)

no it won't
the name will scar the minds of the players

Just imagine the chagrin of a player playing for "Indi Commandoes" :rofl:
Sourav Ganguly is lucky he wasn't picked by Kochi
the name would have added salt to his injuries after the snub

If that is true then that was some serious sh1t they were smoking
maybe they were smoking Mortein Mosquito Coil, cause the pot just ran out? joking

on a serious note
i think you Kerala guys should organise an agitation against the Team Owners
and pressurize them to either change the name or drop the word "Kerala"
To be frank i feel the name is quite Demotivational in itself

Damn!!!
i wanted to add a scathing remark to their Facebook page
but i gotta "Like" it to do so, which i don't
is there a way of adding my comment without actually "Like"-ing the page??

these money suckers are even planning to move out of Kerala to Gujarat !!!
What the...... is wrong with these guys?
coil smoke addled with their minuscule brains?

Kerala Guys
its no use petitioning to change their name to a more respectable one
Force them to remove the word Kerala

I feel furious :-x

He he. Really a funny name for a team -- any team in fact. Sounds like some kindergarten picnic event group slogan/logo.

Will that orange background be part of the device and logo..?

we keralites are now bowled out even before a delivery is bowled in IPL..I don't want to see Kerala mentioned in that name..such an arrogant logo..it was expected though..such a wasteful of owners doing all kinds of silly bidding .. even a blind and deaf guy would pick Ganguly at base price..

It doesn't matter anyway.They are trying to change the home ground from Kochi to Ahmedabad. Now all left to do is change the name from Indi Commandos Kerala to Indi Commandos Gujrat and save Kerala from this fu*king disgrace.

I have no idea why cricket clubs keeps such types names.... Can you remember some football team names with such peculiar words? They generally keep clubs names relating to that city they based on. Like liverpool, manchester city/ united, real madrid etc.... Even indias football teams names are good ....

the names of IPL teams were most likely copied from the American Football model
List of North American football nicknames - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G-Men" – New York Giants, NFL; initial of team name, possibly a play on the term for a government (e.g. FBI) agent[17]
"Goats" – Saint Louis Rams, NFL; when playing poorly[18]
"Iggles" – Philadelphia Eagles, NFL; reference to how some Philadelphians pronounce "Eagles"
"Jags" – Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL; abbreviation of team name
"Gang Green" - New York Jets, NFL; used by supporters (reference to medical condition that is difficult to overcome)(Green Bay Packers), NFL; used by supporters since the mid 1970s; also the name of the unofficial team mascot who is given home field credentials.

albeit in a more over the top and tasteless way
KKR and Indi have the worst names in IPL

They changed the name after a lot of protest to 'Kochi Tuskers' . Much better than Indi Commandos Kerala
