Should the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup winners be added to this article, or should there be a new article on this?
Club badges
I've reverted the addition of national flags and club badges to the table of finalists, because:
- The club badges generally possess white, not transparent backgrounds and look quite ugly on the blue background.
- Because only some clubs have their badges on wikipedia (aside - is this OK copyright-wise?) it looks weird when mixed up with national flags, as if clubs are playing against nations.
- Some badges are wrong - e.g. the modern-day Leeds United badge, which was used on this page, is not the same was the one the club used in the 1960s [1] (http://www.sykesonline.com/leeds/badges.htm). There may be other examples too.

- I honestly don't see a problem with club badges or national flags being displayed, in an international competition it seems obvious to show which country the clubs came from, changing the format of this display from that of the champions league doesn't make any sense. But in answer to the specific questions above;
- Deleting all the badges because they do not possess transparent backgrounds was uncalled for, a request for someone to change the badge type would have been more prudent. If that was not possible the badges should have been left as they are, not everyone finds them ugly.
- The emblems and logos of the clubs are used in their individual pages, they can be used under the 'fair use' system. It shouldn't pose any problem.
- It seems logical to use the badges that were present at the time the team was playing, in a similar way to the flag of yugoslavia is being used when noting red star belgrade's victory in the champions league.
- The only real issue is whether club badges and/or national flags should be used. The champions league format uses just the national flags and i suggest following its example (it'll also solve many of the problems discussed above). The logos and history of any logos can easily be included in the individual club pages. If anyone wants to replace the national flags in line with the champions league page go ahead.
- Fine, I wasn't arguing against badges/flags per se, just that as they stood they looked ugly. National flags like the Champions League page would be fine to put in, in my opinion. Qwghlm 21:54, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Re-reading my post i might have come across as being a bit too aggressive, i didn't mean to be.
