The Gujarat Titans, the IPL’s newest team, may have signed Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan, Shubhman Gill, Lockie Ferguson, David Miller, and Matthew Wade ahead of and during the IPL 2022 Auction, but it’s the franchise’s “official logo” that has gotten the most attention online. It all started on February 9 when the new IPL franchise changed its Facebook profile picture.
The “logo” is simple, with the team’s name in all-capital letters on a white background. IPL fans were quick to notice Gujarat Titans’ Facebook photo update and wondered if the team had gone for the easy way out and kept things simple (read bland).
It’s worth noting that as the IPL 2022 approaches, the new franchise may introduce their new fanbase with a more intricate logo, but until then, IPL fans are busy roasting the Gujarat Titans for their design choices.
“Best ever logo i have seen in my whole life. I am grateful to see who designed this logo,” wrote one user.
“I think the logo designer should be awarded with all the highest awards of the world for this extraordinary design.”
“What a creative logo. Thank you Gujrat Titans.”
“This happens when your graphic designer is on notice period and the client is asking for a design..”
“Where is logo?” another user commented.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans spent 89.85 crore in total to retain and buy these T20 stars they hope will help them in winning their maiden season title.
New Zealand fast bowler Ferguson was their most expensive buy of the auction they locked him in at a cool Rs 10 crore. Allrounder Rahul Tewatia was their next costliest buy s they shelled out Rs 9 crore for him. India pacer Mohammed Shami completed their top-three most expensive list having been bought at Rs 6.25 crore.
Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Matthew Wade, Jason Roy, David Miller, Ferguson, Alzarri Joseph, and Dominic Drakes are among GT’s eight international players.
