In the fifth era of Man, Tamriel has undergone modernisation with the rise of industrialism and modern nation-states, and the declining influence of magic and the old conflicts that defined the northern continent in eras past. Amidst this backdrop, professional sports have emerged in the last century and football in particular has become Tamriel's favourite pasttime. With a higher standard of living than ever before, and with new technology like the tele-courier, millions across the continent follow the various professional leagues and thousands of the best athletes vye for the lucrative contracts on offer.
Tamriel's northernmost and coldest country, Skyrim, is considered the birth place of modern football with the game first being codified in Helgen and the first major leagues based around Whiterun. Today, the Skyrim Premier League (SPL) is ranked amongst the best leagues in Tamriel, rivalling the League of Cyrodiil for relevancy and boasting an uninterrupted history stretching back 84 years. Long known for its hard-nosed, rough style of play - emphasising physicality over technical ability - the influx of foreign players and coaches to the league in recent years have introduced new ideas and styles to the game which has contributed to the SPL's popularity across the world.
Historically dominated by clubs in Whiterun and Eastmarch Hold, the SPL currently contains 16 clubs from across Skyrim and at least one team from each of the nine holds, as well as a team representing the autonomous territory of Solstheim. While most clubs are now privately owned, many retain deep links to the culture and history of their respective regions and remain a source of community and pride for Skyrim residents. The hardy and challenging lifestyle traditionally experienced in Skyrim is reflected in the dull tones of many club crests and kits.

Notes
I have used the in-game symbols from TES V: Skyrim as the basis of my logos. Some club logos have been heavily inspired by real life counterparts, but with the exception of the Skyrim symbols all elements in the crests have been created by myself.
All kit sponsors are based on Skyrim businesses; where applicable, I've used stock images to create contemporary logos for them.
I use the SS'09 kit template for these, which are largely based on real kits used from 2009 to 2021.
I'm still pretty new to logos in particular so any advice is welcome!
