Following their historic title triumph, Leicester City will be allowed to wear a special ‘champions’ badge on their kits next season.
While league champions are typically allowed to wear a champions badge on their kits, a combination of Leicester’s victory and the Premier League’s rebrand means that they will wear a never-before-seen patch—featuring the division’s new lion logo.

The Foxes also wore their snazzy new kit for the 2016-17 campaign when they took on Everton in their final home game of the season.
The listless Toffees were dispatched 3-0 by Claudio Ranieri’s side on Saturday, following an emotional pre-match celebration including a performance of Nessun Dorma, as performed by Andrea Bocelli.
