Netizens criticize South Sudan Premier League logo as designer offers alternative
Following the unveiling of the new South Sudan Premier League logo, netizens have taken to social media to voice their dissatisfaction. Many have criticized the design as unoriginal and lacking creativity, sparking a heated debate about the standards of professional branding in the country.
Amid the backlash, a graphic designer Manyok Alier has stepped forward with a bold response, presenting an alternative logo as a challenge to the South Sudan Football Association’s (SSFA) official version. The designer’s creation, which has been shared widely online, aims to showcase a fresh, modern approach to capturing the essence of South Sudanese football.
The SSFA has not yet commented on the controversy or the proposed alternative, but the incident has reignited discussions about involving local talent in national branding projects. Many believe that greater collaboration with South Sudan’s creative community could lead to designs that resonate more deeply with the public.
In light of the public reaction, some are calling for a more inclusive approach to the logo’s redesign process. Fans and artists alike have suggested that the SSFA organize an open competition, allowing designers from across the country to submit their ideas. Such an initiative, they argue, would not only produce a better logo but also foster a sense of national pride and community involvement in the league’s development.
