HAMPSHIRE
The county side have chosen to drop their "Royals" nickname for the limited-overs formats of the game as they celebrate their 150th anniversary this season.
Rod Bransgrove, Hampshire's Chairman, said; "[The logo] provides a perfect balance between recognising the important historical milestone and developing a modern feel that will help the club continue to move forward for years to come." This comes after the club unveiled a new shield for the occasion.

Matt Coles, the medium-pace bowler, has joined Hampshire for the 2014 season from Kent. The England Lions left-handed batsman has signed a three-year deal after being on loan at Hampshire at the tail end of last season.
Will Smith signed a two-year deal to play for Hampshire at the end of the 2013 season. The right-handed batsman and right-arm off-spin bowler previously captained Durham from November 2008 leading them to a County Championship title in his first year as skipper.
Ex-pro footballer Joe Gatting eventually followed his Uncle, ex-England captain Mike Gatting, into cricket - signing for Sussex in 2009 and making 152 on his debut. Sussex "wanted to strengthen [their] batting and Joe ticks that box" according to Hampshire manager Giles White.
