They're all shit.

If there was a decent choice I'd call them the Barrels.

The Adelaide Barrels.

Not bad, although the South Australian Redbacks was good in my books

"Adelaide Now".

Or the "COC's".... City of Churces :-)

The "GC's"? Garbage Competition?

Those names stink worse than the Port river.

Didn't think I'd have any interest in this comp, the terrible names confirm it.

If Adelaide United didn't unofffically call themselves the reds, I think Adelaide Reds would have been a decent name for the side.

I reckon Adelaide Hookers has a nice ring to it (I'm sure we could get some investment from Hanson Rd :lol: )

How about the Adelaide Dentures? After all, baseball already has the Adelaide Bite - and most SA cricket teams merely grind away and have us gnashing our teeth. They also could be given a safe haven for night games - so long as they haven't already fallen out!

Lol

They aren't allowed to choose colours that the Redbacks use, meaning red and black are out of the equation.

Given the outcry by old people and cricket tragics about T20, I would have thought targeting the youngsters with the branding is a commonsense idea.

Thats okay, as I believe the side will be red, blue and gold (SA colours)

I wont be watching this shite! if your interested in a players perspective read Brett Geeves Blog on the cricket Australia website. He sums up the players feelings and then a shite response from CA is attached at the bottom. CA is stuffing the game up massively.

They change the format of 1 day cricket - to a format not player internationally :oops:

and now break down the state lines in the 20/20 comp after the spectators in all states start jumping on baord
