The EFL

[Uncle Leo]

So The Football League is being re-branded as the English Football League (EFL).

Don't like it myself; sounds a bit too much like the EDL. And The Football League had worked ok as a name for quite a while I thought....

 

[Pubey]

****ing hell why can't they just leave it alone!

Having said that I like the logo.

Bit of an odd one for Swansea, Cardiff, Newport....

 

[Uncle Leo]

I liked the way it was THE Football League, much like it is THE Football Association. The original. Certainly no longer the best, but certainly the original.

Bit of a shame really.

Hm, looks like an energy company logo i think.

 

[Jam_Man]

English football for the English.

 

[Napster]

Bit of an odd one for Swansea, Cardiff, Newport....

But Berwick played in the Scottish Professional Football League.

If it ain't broke, don't tamper. Dislike the name for the same reason you outline James. Big :thumbdown: from me.

Shameless attempt at rebranding to bring the name in line with the EPL, as it's known internationally.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Ha!Have to stop calling myself an EFL teacher then. :smile:

Don't mind the logo actually, but hate the abbreviation and name.

 

[Shrimper in India]

Awful name, and they're sticking with Championship, League 1 and League 2, the most confusing names. People sometimes refer to us being in the first division which is just ridiculous. We are currently in the third division!

Is that Jeff Lynne's EFL?

Electric F**king Light Orchestra?

No.

Electric F**king Light Orchestra?

No.

Ha! I was a bouncer at their Wembley gig back in '78.

Will continue to be sponsored by Sky Bet

Interesting that the Championship has gold colouring in their new logo, League 1 has silver and League 2 has red.
