League Champions Today saw the conclusion of the first season in league history with matchday 10. We would like to congratulate
for their strong finish to the season, successfully holding off 
for the victory and the opportunity to raise the first ever SSL League Trophy. 
THE INAUGURAL SSL LEAGUE TROPHY

SSL Rebrand As some of you might have noticed, the league has received some new graphics courtesy of @Thunder39. This is all part of a bigger league rebrand that we are launching for the upcoming season.
For starters the SSL will have a new logo and color scheme. Keeping with the blue from the inaugural logo, with a slightly darker hue, the golden yellow is added to the palette, which is finished off with a clean white color.
The league will also see some actual trophies for the SSL Cup and the, now named, SSL Founders Shield.

Starting in S2 you will also see some new Matchday graphics that follow a similar theme.

From Thunder:
I am really happy with how the graphics have been coming along. I think the new logo brings a more traditional football style crest to represent the league as we look forward to S2 and watching the league grow. I love hearing everyone's feedback so if you have something to mention about the league and its direction graphically, just shoot me a message on Discord!
Finally we are putting the final touches on the SSL Rulebook and are currently talking about some details with the team managers before implementing the new rulebook for S2.
