Internet Reaction to the New Premier League Logo and Lion Motif

The Premier League put the Anfield ticket-pricing saga behind it on Tuesday morning, when it unveiled a brand new (well, sort of) logo for the 2016-17 season.

The new, brighter and more colourful branding retains the lion motif, which has been a part of the league's image since its formation in 1992 and is, supposedly, "relevant, modern and flexible."

The new logo had its fans:

"
