Does gearing up for second season (IPL) in terms of merchandise online will repeat the same hits as IPL2008.

Hello!!!

Friends

As we know IPL Fever is back and better than ever. Branding is an important and enormous opportunity for the second season of the multi-billion dollar Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 championship is to be played at the Rainbow Nation.
The first edition of IPL matches in 2008 brought in many number of hits and it has many new added features all geared up for second season.

I think all eyes are on South Africa as a destination and a trading partner binding our nations even closer together to build up to 2010. The opportunity is overwhelming to set up branded and printed shade net perimeter branding at and outside the venues. Shop all your IPL Favorite Team's apparel and accessories online from IPLShop.com IPLshop.com is an online One Stop IPL League shop which lets shoppers browse by team or product category. You'll find the latest and greatest assortment of all IPL Team's authentic, officially-licensed products right from personalized jerseys to caps, gears and more! It is a perfect League merchandise shopping mall on the web.

As per Deepa , Senior Manager for Pop Culture, eBay India said in a statement that they are  sure true cricket fans will be thrilled to buy and own the merchandise at great prices.
 The IPL Season 2 has started in South Africa, the fans are raring to cheer their favorite IPL Teams in the DLF IPL Season 2 in South Africa What is the better way than to cheer for your favorite IPL Team by wearing their official IPL Team Jersey & other apparel.  The Famous Sports Brand Reebok which is a Official Sponsor for Team Apparel in DLF IPL Season 2 2009 alongside Puma has now opened up its E-store online where you can buy the official IPL  Jerseys,T-Shirts & other merchandise online.

The Reebok e-Store has on date the merchandise of 4 IPL Teams up for sale - namely - Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings 11 Punjab, Chennai SuperKings & Royal Challengers Bangalore. The merchandise up for sale consists of Official IPL Team Jerseys, Trainers & Shoes. All the 4 IPL Team’s Official Jerseys are affordably priced at Indian Rupees 799 Only, with the other items ranging from Rs 750 to Rs 2600.

But is this really happened? The crowed which are expected ,do they really turned out on the field. This is the big question by analyzing 3 days of match?

As if the IPL 2 bandwagon rolled out on stage yesterday, this was the thought that came to my mind at the end of the first over. I felt that still it is not IPL. we are surely missing the fans, the provincial element and the parochialism of it all that makes up for the atmosphere, the din, the noise, the crash of cymbals, the fanfare, the cheer girls from our own climes... and that distinct glamour an average Indian fan brings on as he recognition that he is being covered by the TV cameras and the thought that he is for that one instant the top of the world cricket watchers' eyes!

I think the shift of IPL in South Africa resulted in lowering of merchandise shopping mall on the web.
