Grand Prairie Major League Cricket Team Reveals Logo
Published on April 25, 2023
The Texas Super Kings, the lone Texas-based team in Major League Cricket (MLC), has revealed its team logo ahead of the inaugural season scheduled to begin on July 13, 2023 at Grand Prairie Stadium (the former AirHogs Stadium), 1600 Lone Star Parkway. The Texas Super Kings logo combines the marquee lone star, representing all of Texas and standing for unity as one state and one country, with the iconic lion of the Chennai Super Kings.
Texas Super Kings is the first major sports team in the state to incorporate the lion in their brand. The team name is characterized by heavy lettering that represents solid and dependable performance, and is topped with the crown, just like the logo used by the Chennai Super Kings, the four-time Indian Premier League winning franchise cricket team based in Chennai, India.
“Chennai Super Kings is proud to share the lion with our Texas counterpart,” said KS Viswanathan, Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited Chief Executive Officer. “The lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and leadership can be seen as a fitting representation of the values and qualities that are often associated with Texas culture. It is also an integral part of the franchise and resonates with all the fans of the Super Kings family – in Chennai, India, Johannesburg, South Africa and around the world. I’m confident that all our fans will embrace Texas Super Kings as well. We look forward to this summer’s matches and bringing cricketing culture to Texas and the rest of the United States in the years to come.”
“The lion-focused logo is very similar to that of the Chennai Super Kings, a team I have had great pride in supporting over the years,” said Anurag Jain, Co-Founder, Perot Jain and investor in Texas Super Kings. “We look forward to combining the cultures and passions of our international fans and those here in Texas ahead of the inaugural season taking place in Grand Prairie this summer. This is an exciting time for the sport of cricket and its growing future.”
