thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Ofi.gif

message: Hello!
There is only one other OFI (OFI Ierapetra) and that other club is also a Cretan club, so Crete in the name is controversial.
Besides, any Greek knows the reality of the Greek South, and how nationalists and localists have taken advantage of such things: there are many incidents this has been used to claim only one Cretan OFI.
The issue in Greek is actually only when referred orally, because there is a difference in the initials written (one is ΟΦΗ and the other is ΟΦΙ, even though both sound the same), and for that OFI Ierapetra is used when talking about the other club.
It's true "Crete" has been widely used along the initials, as OFI is the most successful club from Crete, and is considered the pride of Crete (seems to also be part of their official website now), but I think it would be best for the reasons stated before to avoid using it, i.e. as there can be confusion with the other Cretan club and for the political effect it also has.
So, I suggest the name OFI F.C. instead, as they are the rightful owners of the initials, i.e. as the first and oldest club with OFI on the name (OFI Ierapetra for the other club with the same initials to be used), which is also how it's used in Greece, both orally and in the media (when they are not referring to the club as OFI Crete),  or, if that cannot reach to a consensus, I would recommend the usage of OFI F.C. Heraklion or OFI F.C. Iraklion instead.
Kind regards!
