I want to add the checklist of a German card set. Some teams have to be added, but some teams are in the database, but under a different name. Brose Bamberg is listed here for example. But this is the teams new name, as the sponsor (not the city or club!) has changed over the years. Is it possible to link/combine team-names? If this is not possible: Should I use the (existing) newer name, although the old one is listed on the card? Should I add the old one? Collectors of that team would have to search all the old names, although the franchise/club is the same. Thanks for the help.

It should be the name on the card.

This happens frequently, even in North America. When teams change names they have a TID for each name; they are not linked.  Not every fan keeps following a team when they change names.

Always use the team name on the card.
