This year's IPL will feature 3 teams named Esteghlal...!

[yashar_fasihnia]

the more esteghlals, the lower perpolis will finish in the table cos they are always below esteghlal

as far as I am concerend all teams except Perspolis can start with Esteghlal.

In fact I am planing to establish a new team myself in Azadegan league, "ESTEGHLAL Sabzevar Abad"

and we decided to use blue colour jerseys randomly as well.
for design reasons our team logo will have some rings similiar to Olympic rings as well, cause our designers find them to be very nice.....

Actually this is not good for Persepolis: The other two Esteghlal teams will most likely play with PP giving it their 100% but then go easy on their Tehrani namesake (to facilitate its road to championship.)

SS Khuzestan.
(I think)

^^ Correct. IFF needs to make a new rule that from now on no teams with identical or similar names should be in the IPL. That's just a better style for the league.

Esteghlal or (Taj) used to be the biggest club in Ahvaz and other cities in Khozestan and used to be run by rich and/or influential people. There exist many of those die hard fans around and still very loyal to Taj or Esteghlal. I met some of them when I visited Ahvaz few years ago. So the reason for seeing two Esteghlal from Ahvaz/Khozestal comes from pure loyalty which is commendable.
