[Savak]

Lol, don't think anyone will die for a jhappi from him. He will need to offer a much stronger incentive from a monetary and recognition point of view

What is a jhappi?

 

[Hedz]

He doesn’t want an English name
So if not Sultans, Sufis is the best idea

 

[wasimjunior]

Not sure why he keeps differentiating south Punjab in particular

 

[Godhelpma]

Not sure why he keeps differentiating south Punjab in particular

He belongs to south Punjab and is actively participating in promotion of cricket in the region . Moreover Multan is also in south Punjab that is the reason he mentions this time and again.

[wasimjunior]

You didn’t offend at all. Just read and sickens me that Pakistan’s main priority right now is forming new provinces rather than focusing on Maybe our crumbling economy.

As for the franchise name- no idea but hope it is something unrelated to regionalism. Whole purpose is to attract a national fan base

 

[maddgenius]

Multan Malangs

[Sunny_majoka]

The voters of Multan malangs saw the funny side. But I think Multan bahadurs is a nice name

 

[RehanG]

So it remains Multan Sultan

[Baigel]

Publicity stunt?

 

[The Viper]

Publicity stunt?

Seems like it. Or maybe they realized the other names did not sound great.

 

[Savak]

So he spent all this money, time and effort in a brain storming excercise involving the public only to go with the original name developed before?

 

[waleed88]

Lol what was the point of going through that PR campaign and name building exercise when you had to come up with the same name.

 

[Saj]

Name is good, but surely it would have been better to change it to get rid of all the baggage of the previous owners.

 

[Sher Khan]

Name is good, but surely it would have been better to change it to get rid of all the baggage of the previous owners.

Can’t believe they were allowed to keep the same name. Multan sultans was the brand of Schon properties. They could legally sue Tareen for copying their brand name. Am I right?

Not really, when Schon surrendered ownership to the PCB, they gave up all rights to the team and ceased their association with Multan Sultans.

Besides I think Multan Sultan's is pleasing to the ears in comparison to the other names, they could not have done better than this.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Good move, keeps all the previous fans as well as getting awarness of new owners

Agreed. Not sure if "Malangs" or "Bahadurs" is a suitable name for a professional franchise team, with exposure at a global level.

 

[MenInG]

Am sure some financial arrangement was made to keep the name. The new owners dont need to spend money rebranding - get it for free and keeps the continuity going.

So guess no more The Sixth Team?

 

[moghul]

Match between Qalanders and Malangs would be great , hard to pick one.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Lahore Karachi and Isloo all have more international fans, probably for the best.

 

[Saj]

Must have had the OK from the previous owners.

 

[MenInG]

And a new logo too....
