What's the email address if you want to ask how much you can save on gas and electric with them?

In the same way that the world's oldest rugby club Blackheath is simply known as Club, our competition should be called just League.
It isn't known as 'Club' because it was the first.
Blackheath Football Club was formed from the old boys of Blackheath Proprietary School and when they played the school the spectators used to cheer for either 'School' or 'Club' - and the name stuck.
I'm happy with The Football League, The Football Association, The Rugby Football Union, The Derby, The Open et al - all others are just copies!!
Wouldn't be surprised if the Barclays Premier League have had a say in this...
BPL: Sorry Football League but your going to have to change your name, being called the Football League makes you sound more lucrative and better than us, the almighty, the only worthy: Premier League. FL: But we are the original Football League, its only right...
BPL: Look do you want us to steal Youth Players from your clubs and cut your funding? FL: But you steal our Youth Players regardless BPL: So... In that case we'll steal even more of them, for even less money
FL: Okay how about we change our name to the English Football League BPL: Yeah, Yeah whatever, just so long as it shows we the best in the world

Well, the Premier League have also rebranded, but seemed to have nailed it, keep the Lion, but make it modern, and this is a great line from the designers.
“the real driver behind [the new look is] this kind of digital, broadcast-first approach – make it work as an app icon, and worry about everything else after.”
What a pile of crap. The thing is the Football League was the original one. That's it. It doesn't need any embellishment. In the same way we just have QEII's bonce on our stamps and no country name. We don't care whether anybody knows which country the stamp comes from. Shows a degree of swagger and why not?
Exactly this. The Football League was the original, so no need for the prefix 'English' just like The Open Championship, or The Championships, Wimbledon. Still, the way we're going as a club, perhaps we should be worrying about The National League rather than the Football League.
The Premier League rebranding actually looks half decent. Whilst the "EFL" nonsense looks corporate, bland and seems to retain nothing of it's original identity.
Why do these companies who charge a bloody fortune for this kind of thing assume they need to justify their actions/existence with bullshit explanations of what they dreamed up in half an hour after lunch. And why do they think anyone cares about branding for things such as this?
