    'Importance of togetherness'published at 12:15

    Europa League

    I talked about the Europa League's new design earlier. Here is more of an explanation from Uefa...

    "The importance of togetherness is expressed in a circular 'energy wave' that radiates from the trophy forming the new logo for the tournament.

    "This energy wave plays a prominent role in the overall on and off-air brand identity as a dynamic device that embodies the positive energy that is released during special moments in a match. 

    "It represents success achieved through the collective spirit of players and fans as they strive together for European glory."

    Aye, very good...
