The Indian Cricket League has unveiled its brand logo, team uniforms and ad campaign.
The Indian Cricket League (ICL) has revealed its brand logo and
campaign. The ICL's team uniforms, designed by fashion designer Manish
Arora, were also unveiled. The ICL's first Twenty20 cricket tournament
is slated to begin on November 30 and end on December 16.
"The team gear has been especially designed in keeping with the
international standards. The outfits of the six teams reflect the
spirit of new cricket," said ICL chairman-executive board Kapil Dev.
The inspiration to design these uniforms has been drawn from what each
city stands for and is customised to reflect each city's ideology. The
colours of the graphics are designed to be vibrant, exude energy and
positive attitude.
"The uniforms I have designed for Indian Cricket League are just like
the game itself - it is fresh, colorful and dynamic. I am sure we will
all enjoy watching this fast paced game with the energy and vibrancy
which I have tried to incorporate into the uniforms," said designer
Manish Arora.
ICL's overall brand identity has been created by O&M. The brand logo
features a red cricket ball with ICL in a large, stylised, steel
coloured font wrapped around it. ICL's brand positioning will be
'where dreams can come alive'. The position line for ICL states:
'Sapne Manzil Tak'. The advertising campaign will run in three phases
from November 7 till December 16. The first phase introduces the brand
proposition of ICL with Kapil Dev as the brand ambassador. It
highlights the journey that is possible from a small town or village
to a cricket stadium and encourages amateur cricketers to realise
their dream.
The second phase will talk about individual identities and qualities
in the six chosen teams. The teams include Kolkata Tigers, Hyderabad
Heroes, Delhi Jets, Chandigarh Lions, Mumbai Champs, and Chennai
Superstars.
The third phase of the campaign will highlight the teams as rivals and
emphasise on individual heroes from each team.
