I needed to do a good deal of research for this map and chart. Here is a list of sites I utilized. 1. Historical Football Kits www.historicalkits.co.uk. The kits I used are from this site. Check it out. It rules. 2. Behind the Badges www.behindthebadges.co.uk Origins of football club badges. 3. Footy-mad sites www.footymad.net. They have sites for all 92 clubs in the English League. I go to the Portsmouth site every few days (www.portsmouth-mad.co.uk). Great reporting and commentary. Plus, they have the League history of each club. I used this for the relegations/promotions part of the chart. 4. Classic Kits www.kitclassics.co.uk. They feature away kits, too. 5. European Football Statistics www.european-football-statistics.co.uk. This is where I get my attendance figures. 6. I can’t seem to link this next one , so google ”Nigel’s webspace” if you like old cards and magazines. Where I found the old Forest pennant. 7. Sykes Online www.sykesonline.com. Where I found the Leeds smiley badge, a design that really belongs on some 1970s prog-rock album cover. 8. Martin’s Coventry City Page www.martinwildig.com. 9. Pride of Anglia www.tmwmtt.com. Ipswich Town site. 10. Bristol City Supporter’s Trust www.bristolcityst.org.uk. 10. Nottingham Forest FC www.nottinghamforest.premiumtv.co.uk. 11. BBC www.bbc.co.uk. 12. Wikipedia www.en.wikipedia.org. 13. E-Bay www.ebay.com. 14. Russell Davies www.russelldavies.typepad.com/planning/2004/09/. His eulogy for Brian Clough.
I like how clean your maps are. What do you design them with?

Response: I use Macromedia Fireworks. It is a very flexible program, as it allows more freedom to edit small areas and put them back into the main document.

How long does it take to create one of these?

Answer: I lost count of the hours it took me to make this map…it was probably around 25 hours, because it was really hard to find some of these old badge crests. I actually made a few of them myself (using info from blurry images), like the everton away and the derby away badge, as well as the liverpool badge and the coventry city badge.
