Corner Flag Logos - Trivia

I was told over the weekend that the league only contained 2 clubs that were allowed to have the club badge on the corner flags. Everton were one of the two and apparently the fact we can have our logo on the flags is because we won the right to do so.

Has anyone else heard of this strange tale and can anyone shed any light onto what we won, when we won it and who the other team is that have the right to show their logo on the corner flag??

An additional point that came up was that the club who wins the FA Cup is entitled to have triangular flags whilst the holder the cup...?

Has someone been pulling my leg?

LOL, I heard the thing about triangle corner flags a few years ago, but was too lazy to ever find out about it.
I’m sure its something to do with winning the FA Cup..?

Matt’s right. Triangular corner flags could only be used by teams which had won the FA Cup. Don’t know if it still applies. Haven’t heard the one about the club badge though.

There?s quite a bit of discussion regarding this here. No mention of Everton though.
