22nd July 2025, Kathmandu
The Lumbini Lions have revealed their brand new logo to the public. The new logo isn’t just another graphic symbol – it’s a powerful representation of the team’s heritage, spirit, and national pride.
Culture Meets Cricket
Speaking about this event, the Chairman of Lumbini Lions, Ishwar Bahadur GC, said, “This logo doesn’t just showcase our team’s strength on the cricket field – it celebrates the glory of Lumbini itself. Born from the sacred land of Buddha, this team roars on the field and puts Nepal on the world map.”
He went on to explain how “Lumbini Lions have woven together sport, culture, and national pride into one meaningful symbol.”
The new logo beautifully incorporates several elements that capture Lumbini’s identity: the Maya Devi Temple where Lord Buddha was born, the historic Ashoka Pillar erected by Emperor Ashoka in 249 BC. Along with this, the red color, and the moon and sun symbols represent the Nepali flag as well as patriotism, while the golden lettering represents the eternal peace flame that burns continuously in Lumbini.
Established in 2024, Lumbini Lions are gearing up to compete as a franchise team in the Nepal Premier League with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Through this new logo, they aim to carry Nepal’s identity and Buddha’s message of peace as they begin a fresh chapter in Nepalese cricket.
