IPL 2018: Deciphering The Hidden Message In Your IPL Team's Logo

Want to guess what Royal Challengers Bangalore's spirit animal is? What's that you say? A lion? Don't be daft. There's no way yet another IPL franchise would choose the lion as its mascot.

[INSERT FACEPALM]

Do these teams know that there are literally 8.7 million animal species on the planet according to Google? They could put them all in a bowl and randomly just pick one out.

Congratulations! Your team's mascot is now a yellow-bellied parrot. And yours is the three-toed sloth. Rejoice!

But no. Everyone wants to be the lion.

Ok. Before we get too annoyed with this or laugh at the lack of creativity in Indian marketing firms that charge millions of rupees for a logo design, let's just assume that as a prerequisite to joining the IPL, your logo must feature a lion. That's the only possible explanation.
