The Namibia Premier League (NPL) unveiled their new logo to the public on Tuesday evening in Windhoek.
The NPL Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Haikali said that the previous logo did not have anything on it that would stick in the minds of people and that is what necessitated the change of logo.
“We need to make sure that NPL stands on its own. We are NPL and not NFA (Namibia Football Association). We need to have an image that lasts in the minds of the people,” Haikali said.
