A Brief History: Barclays Premier League Championship Badge


Every league around the world displays its logo on the kits of all their teams during league play.  This is most commonly done towards the bottom of the shoulder yokes.  In the Barclays Premier League, the previous year's champions get a little something extra, however.  Instead of repping the league's standard badge with a white filler, they get one with gold.  As most of the game's quirks in Europe go, this touch of gold, although minor in the grand scheme of things, adds more to the prestige that comes with winning in a top league.... making this BPL tradition one worth continuing.
