Explain to me why the E in SønderjyskE is written in capitals? I'm Dutch, so I am comfortable with the sounds in Scandinavia and I'm aware of letters R and D being nearly mute in the middle of Danish words, but how do I approach capital E?

Haha, good question. I was puzzled about this too, when the club was formed and chose the peculiar capital E in the end. But now I suppose they've been around long enough for me to write it this way withoit even thinking about it.
The full name of the club is Sønderjysk Elitesport, and they also compete in ice hockey, handball etc. So the E must be in capital, since it's the first letter in the second part of the club name. It is just pronounced as an "e" usually sounds in Danish, and the full club name, Sønderjysk Elitesport, is rarely (or never) spoken in full.
