Lest we forget, "The Whites" used to be known as "The Peacocks"

Revie was so superstitious that he thought Birds were unlucky, so also ditched the traditional Owl from their badge

the owls are sheffield wednesdays emblem, maybe thats why they have played second fiddle to leeds for so long.

many of them clubs who are above leeds in the amount of trophies they have won, fall into two categories .

1. since the advent of the premier league , where it as been all about money , teams such as chelsea , man city , and to a certain extent man utd have all won many of their trophies , on an uneven playing field due to the massive advantages of champions league money etc , the premier league as been a closed shop for many years. for example man utd won more league titles since the premier league was formed than they had done throughout their entire history. chelsea had won virtually nothing before abramovich came along

2. the second category goes back to when adam was a lad , i,e pre world wars one and two , when the competition again was limited to say the least , when players wore hobnailed boots and they were back to work monday morning, the game was totally different then . sunderland , blackburn , newcastle and wolves all fall into that category. sunderland aint won a league title since 1936 but had won five previously newcastle aint won a trophy since 1969 . blackburns last league title was bought by jack walker in 94 prior to that it was before world war 1 .

So you're​ saying that only trophies before the premier league and post WWII should count?

i know it does not count, because trophies are trophies no matter what era you have won them in , but a trophy won in them two eras, does not have the same credibility in my opinion, as a trophy won when it was a much more even playing field and much more competitive than it is today or prior to the two world wars.

According to this and previous arguments, only the period from the 50s to the early 70s count when counting trophies and measuring success?

That also happens to be Leeds' most successful period, funny that

the second world war ended 1945, the premier league started in 1992 , now forgive me but when i went to school that constitutes 47 years in my book .

In my book the football league didn't resume after the war until the 1946/1947 season, so that constitutes 45 seasons. But hey let's not be picky.

The symbol of Leeds is an owl. The coat of arms of Leeds are two owls.

I mean, seriously, you're pretty dense aren't you? We're not even trying and you're proving yourself to be a mug.
