I'm sorry but it seems a fair question to me.

As written Star Cricket will be rebranded as Star Sports 3. Why they're rebranding the HD feed as Star Sports 1 HD. Same for ESPN.

Why the HD counterparts are having a different number?

What I feel is then, Star can prioritise what Sports program should have a HD treatment.,Dunno pls explain. It might be a silly question.

I agree hope they have already designed a sober, elegant logo as current Star Sports logo doesn't look good as all.

Dunno when they use star sign, why they write it we know that and it will save them space for writing the channel name big, clear and elegant.
