London Spirit have asked fans for new name suggestions for the Hundred franchise ahead of the 2025 cricket competition.
The Marylebone Cricket Club is in the process of surveying fans ahead of this year’s competition.
They have asked a select fan group to decide whether the London Spirit electric blue or MCC egg and bacon colours are more recognisable.
Further to this, they’ve asked whether fans are more likely to support the team if it does or does not have the words “London” and “Lord’s” in its name, while also asking fans for team suggestions.
“If you have any,” the survey sent to fans said, “please provide any other suggestions for the team based at Lord’s”.
The MCC are set to sell a minority stake in London Spirit to a consortium of tech investors, including executives at Microsoft, Google and Adobe.
The near 50 per cent stake purchase is set to value the Lord’s based franchise at £295m, over double Oval Invincibles, which is valued at nearer £125m.
