All things must change, and in an effort to freshen up their look ahead of their new multi-billion pound television deal, the Premier League have revealed a new logo.
The lion wearing a crown remains, but he is no longer controlling a football and has lost his crest, while we are sure there will be space made for a new sponsor.
While we’re sure the brains behind it are thrilled with the new design, there’s a touch of the struggling building society about it.
Of course, the Premier League couldn’t resist the opportunity to make an overly-sentimental montage featuring meaningless phrases like “we all share”, “no boundaries” and “we all have a part to play”.
From next season, the Premier League is going to look a little bit different…https://t.co/4n4mNohG2Z

Unsurprisingly, Twitter reacted with its usual appreciation for the result of an undoubtedly thorough rebranding process.

The new Premier League logo is a regression. They've traded striking & powerful for cheap & tacky; it looks like a 2nd rate telco's logo now

Upside down, the new Premier League logo looks kinda like a fitting tribute to Lemmy pic.twitter.com/azljdICqD7
