If friends try to pay attention from year to year, despite the rebranding, the Premiere League logo is always synonymous with the lion icon. Even the Premier League logo before the Premiere League era already has a lion feature.

Rarely do Premier League fans be aware or concerned about the same reason for the existence of lion images year after year on the Premier League logo.

The reason why the Premier League has lions is that this animal identical to the king of the jungle is one of the national symbols of the United Kingdom.
The lion icon was originally used by the British Army in the 12th century as a symbol of the royal special forces.

It is said that the use of lions as a symbol of the British empire began from the leadership period of King Henry I who ruled in 1100 – 1135 AD.

When he came to power, King Henry I was obsessed with the Barbary Lion species, also known as the Atlas Lion, because of its habitat in the Atlas Mountains, North Africa.

In general, lions symbolize strength, courage, and leadership. The English football federation, the FA, has been using the lion icon since 1872.

In addition to placing this animal on every logo of the British domestic competition, the lion icon is also pinned to the English national team logo. That's the reason why England also has the nickname "The Three Lions".

Turns out the reason is as simple as that, man. Please comrades to argue in the discussion field.
