The Premier League have issued a ban on elaborate pitch patterns ahead of the 2017/18 season, putting an end to some of the incredible designs which had slowly been creeping into top flight football.
The league authority will now no longer allow teams to curate their pitch surface in a way that does not conform to the new strict guidelines.
Clubs will only be able to have their playing surface cut into traditional horizontal lines, with any other design set to be deemed against regulation.
The Premier League announced the changes this week, as part of a package of 10 new developments for the coming campaign.
