officeglenn Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 For the clickably challenged ... Nice find, Rampart. And I really dig this new logo. There were mentions of the Premiership changing up the name and number fonts next season. Perhaps this is a league-wide overhaul and a bit of a preview as to what we'll get?

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I like it a lot.Don't know that it's so surprising - EPL clubs routinely unveil new logos in the middle of a season. When Chelsea won the League two seasons ago, all their championship merchandise featured the new crest, which they didn't wear at all during the season.And considering that they don't sell any merchandise with the Premier League logo, there's really no reason to wait.For me, on the other hand, I'll now wait until next season to order my shirt with EPL badges, if they're wearing the new lion next year.

I've never liked the EPL numbering, and this new logo gives me lots of hope for the new letters.Here's another iteration - maybe the sleeve patch will be more like this?EDIT: and just for comparison, here's the old one:The more I look at the new logo, the more I love it.

leedsunited Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Admit it, if it was your average american design house retooling the logo, we'd have a snarling lion slashing the soccer ball in some cartoony fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, boys.Hmmm ... looking at the old logo, I just realized the new one makes no mention of Barclays. Perhaps they're dropping them as a sponsor? Or ? less likely ? dropping the league sponsor altogether? Although I suppose a sponsor's name or logo could easily be added in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're dropping them as a sponsor? Or ? less likely ? dropping the league sponsor altogether? Although I suppose a sponsor's name or logo could easily be added in later.I think that's likely - the previous logo was seen with and without the sponsor name/logo.What's interesting to me is that it no longer says "The Official Website of the FA Premier League." That's new.What's the difference between the Premier League and Barclay's Premiership?Nothing at all. All different names for the same organization. The name is used interchangeably with and without the sponsor (based on who's using it). "Premiership" is also used to refer to it, and was the original proposed name, dating from the days in which they weren't sure if they could use the word "League" (since it was originally a spinoff group of the Football League). They were able to use League, but "Premiership" continues to be used as an alternate name. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Or ? less likely ? dropping the league sponsor altogether? Although I suppose a sponsor's name or logo could easily be added in later.The Premier League as an entity has always had its own identity independent of the primary sponsor. Carling lager was the original sponsor from '93 - '01, followed by the Barclaycard credit card for three years and then by the larger brand of Barclays since 2004.This identity is an EXCELLENT redesign. It's simultaneously regal and intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 This is a beautiful new update - if they go with that typeface for the name and numbers for each premier league club, I'll be very, very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're dropping them as a sponsor? Or ? less likely ? dropping the league sponsor altogether? Although I suppose a sponsor's name or logo could easily be added in later.Barclays is the league title sponsor through the 2011-12 season IIRC [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

MJWalker45 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I like this new guy. More likely Barclays would be included below the new lion, just the wordmark, no ball or company eagle. Then Premier League written below it. Just a hunch if they actually do change it up. Or this could be just a website change. Hopefully if they change number fonts it will be something better than what the lower leagues wear. Certain numbers are hard to read. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 It's a great logo, but I'll be sad to see the old/current one go.

kc51design Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'll take a guess and say that whoever did that logo did the new Tottenham Spurs one too. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 You could be right. They do share an aesthetic.This is a beautiful new update - if they go with that typeface for the name and numbers for each premier league club, I'll be very, very happyI couldn't agree more.I might actually buy an Arsenal shirt with EPL numbers, instead of Champions League....
