No accounting for taste but I reckon it'd look better around the neck too. Bit flash but I like it.
Feel like having something like that would be better for a milestone. 5 titles, 10 titles, 15 titles etc, along with a medal.
One personal for a player, anybody who collects 5 trophies during their career receives a commemorative trophy along with the medals. Something special for a player.

I agree to be fair. Though, if it was me, I would buy a huge gold chain to go around my neck and attach the trophy to that. I'd look like a serious baller.

Spot on. Any reasonable person would.
I didn't know about the trophies. The only other big deviation from medals that I can think is to look stateside where they love the championship rings
yea the championship rings look quality, Mr T must have won a lot

Yeah. Not sure how that sits with me to be honest. A ring?? Really not sure. I'd rather a replica trophy or medal.
Imagine if they started giving out belts like wrestling. Every week Henderson walks out with the EPL title belt and holds it up before kick off.

I like the concept but it would mean champions could only ever play evening fixtures. As doing this without the accompanying light show would just be silly.
The evening kick offs would lean into the "main event" narrative though
Don't payers nowadays make a full sized replica for themselves anyway?

I think VVD had a UCL replica made for himself. Not sure if he got an EPL one though.
Would you prefer a medal or a kiss on the lips from Ole?

They were awarded a smaller, golden version of the EPL title. Obviously because they didn't lose a game during the 03/04 season, but Arsenal fans twist it into 'we were awarded a golden EPL trophy in 2004 because we went unbeaten'. They weren't and it's a smaller version of the trophy.

I'm on board with this. When the refs back is turned he can use it to whack opposing players over the head. Only punishable if the ref sees him do it.

Or before a big, big game the EPL would announce a special guest referee. City vs United, SAF special guest referee with his son as linesman.

This would have made the Pay per view matches worth it. Each team having a whole squad royal rumble in order to win a place in the starting line-up.
Instead of a coin toss, kick off is decided by whichever captain climbs a ladder and retrieves the refs whistle.
