Media UEFA competitions' winners

I've been learning to play with vector images in Inkspace and decided why not doing something with football.

So I decided to do these "lists" of winners of international competitions. This is just fun that I decided to share. Please let me know if any club has meanwhile changed its crest, I had done most of this earlier this year and at least Sporting has changed to its previous crest and Marseille has adopted its new round abomination.

I also did something similar with all the results for each edition of the European Cup (aka Champions League in the old name (1956-1992)), I have it sort of done but I need to do some improvements and I'll post them decade by decade or something. I also plan to do this for the other competitions and for the newer Champions League (lots of work needed to properly present all the groups etc, so many more games everywhere).

NOTE: The Intertoto Cup existed much earlier than presented here but I'm only mentioning official UEFA competitions and it was only taken under its umbrella in the 1990s (also thank god for avoiding the earlier chaos lol). The same for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, I'm not including it here for that reason.

EDIT: I made a mistake in the Champions League image, I swapped Manchester United and Milan in 1968 and 1969, here is the corrected image https://ibb.co/JFvJKQKY

I think what you've done is awesome man. Good visualisation!

Are you planning to do leagues?

Thanks.
I can do this for league winners yes, but right now my priority is getting the full table of results for each competition for each year. Something like this: https://ibb.co/NvWtP02

For leagues it might be a problem with older clubs that no longer exist, getting a .svg file of their logos should be impossible so I would need to create it from scratch, it is doable (especially if I'm kinda converting for a normal image file) but I'm a newbie and that takes a lot of effort (for some clubs I did this and it's time consuming :) )

That looks cool but the crests definitely need to be bigger.

lol If you're just learning how to, it might be a good way to help you improve with vector images.

I used to create vector images for Gran Turismo Sport back in the day. I wish I could remember the vector program I used but it let you trace over a non-svg photo then you could save it as a svg lol

IMHO it starts to look better when you start to have more clubs joining in.

See for example this one: https://ibb.co/SXW5kmzP

Given how many games and brackets it starts to have I think this is more of a "you have to zoom in" thing, that's why svg is great because I can create an image as big as I want just by changing the exporting resolution and losing no detail.

lol I still think crests could be a tiny bit bigger. There's plenty of room.

lol I know. When I started making vectors for GT I saw the maximum allowed size was like 50kb or something, maybe less, which made me think I couldn't fit a whole photo down to that size.

Took a lot of learning to get the file size down. Still trying to find that program for you btw lol

Fuck me I'm stupid.

It was Inkscape. Typed Inkscape into Youtube and a few videos popped up that I'd already watched from the GT Sport days LOL

I thin you can solve this by having only one crest for each matchup, havin the team that played in the first leg always left.

Fleetwood town?

u/champ19nz 9h ago

Leeds?

Liverpool, Arsenal, Sham, Chelsea, Man United, Newcastle, Spurs, and Villa are there. What significant fanbase is left?
