DISCLAIMER:
As GIGGIRIVA explained himself, the banners and flags aren't on the priority list of FIFA 14 Classic Patch due to storage limits. Nonetheless, some of you did mention you would fancy them, so I thought I could try making them in my spare time.
For starters, I am beginning with World Cup 1986, 1/8 teams stage, then we will see where do we go from there. The banners have been recreated so far based on archival footage (photos and match recordings). The amount of material is limited though, so I tried to be creative at times, yet trying to stay true to original content. I may slip some easter eggs here and there.
Be aware - some banners may include some edgy references, like far right football fanatic groups or international politics. I do not mean any harm, nor endorse any ideologies - these banners existed in real life and they are a part of history, treat them as historical value.
As for "John 3:16" banner - it's a Bible reference, present on many World Cup matches and other various international events. I think it's a neat touch to add it.
NOTICE!: The banners require manual installation (using Creation Master 14 or similar tool).
1986 FIFA World CupARGENTINA 1986
WORTH NOTING:

- includes John 3:16
BRAZIL 1986
- features a banner of Gaviões da Fiel - a torcida group supporting Corinthians.

ENGLAND 1986

- there's the story that after beating Poland 3:0 England team was pumping up listening to "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. it's said to be the unofficial England football team song of Mexico 86
ITALY 1986
WORTH NOTING:
- includes banners of Sampdoria's Tito Ultras Cucchiaroni and Ternana's banner "Menti Perdute" (lost minds?)
SOVIET UNION 1986
WORTH NOTING:
- uhm... communism???
- due to lack of material, there is higher amount of fictional banners
POLAND 1986
WORTH NOTING:
- Solidarity banners
- same with Soviet Union, there's very few material with polish fans
- one of the banners was originally flown during WC86 quali match Poland vs Belgium in 85.
- includes John 3:16
WORTH NOTING:
- Poland qualified as the 1st team from UEFA groups, so the hopes were high, the polish fanbase was quite big and polish fans were quite noticable.
- Legia, LKS and Baltyk Gdynia supporters, there's also a Gdansk/Polska banner which is most likely from Lechia Gdansk +various cities
- "when Australia is cheering, Poland will surely advance" - welp, we're not using that banner again
LEGIA WARSAW 00-05
WORTH NOTING:
- tbh a treat for polish fanbse. there is no early 00s Legia team in the Classic Patch, but most of these flags are used up to this date, so you could use them with late00s squad.
- a banner in memory of Kazimierz Deyna, I think it was made somewhere around 2000 or 2001
- Wild Boys and Turysci 97 - Legia hools groups.
WISLA KRAKOW 00-05
WORTH NOTING:
- "Chlopcy z Reymonta" is one of the most notable crowd chants.
- one or two hools banners
More coming soon...
Comments will be welcome. I am open to critique, but I won't be doing requests - don't have resources for it.
