Stars on our shirts

[Aston max]

Lady pigs might get one for most owners

 

[HoodedClaw]

Nope, not unless we win the World Cup.

Stuff that makes the kit look a bit crap already;

The badge on the sleeve showing what league we play in...(even if it were the champions league it looks cheap)
The numbers that have to have the Football League logo on them, useless typeface and unreadable too.

Extra bits on club badges that become accreted over time, Man City's is bad.....what is that Phoenix doing there? Liverpool's was the worst a couple of years ago, it had collected extra bits every time the club was involved in a disaster, Hysel, Hillsborough and even the death of Shankly were commemorated, the badge a funerary monument.

I pointed this out at the time on the 909 website and you should have seen the replies, I was all but a holocaust denier.

Still LFC must have listened to me because they soon changed the badge is back to the good old cormorant or whatever it is...

Stars on our shirts? "Look what we won, so long ago we've had some World Wars since!" Fuck off, makes us look really fucking desperate.

How's this?

• Gold star for a Major European Win (CL, Europa League, old Cup Winners Cup and Uefa Cups).
• Silver star per 5 League Titles
• Bronze star per 5 domestic cup wins

Using that system Manchester United would have:

• Gold = 4 (3 CL & 1 CWC)
• Silver = 4 (20 titles)
• Bronze = 3 (11 FAC 4 LC)

They have also won a Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup and World Club Cup which I haven't accounted for.

AC Milan would have:

• Gold = 9
• Silver = 3
• Bronze = 1

Real Madrid would have:

• Gold = 12
• Silver = 6
• Bronze = 3

Just to confirm SUFC would have:

• Gold = 0
• Silver = 0
• Bronze = 0 (1 more cup win for a bronze)

its a football shirt not a pair of kids swimming trunks.

Wouldn't it make more sense to display stars on a shirt worn specifically for each competition?

in the FA Cup, wear a shirt with stars only for FA cup wins, in the League stars for championships, etc...?

so we'd have 4 stars on our FA Cup shirts, 1 on our regular day-wear shirts...

(and given that MU etc are into double figures, apply the Gold/Silver/Bronze principle per competition shirt as you describe).

The Italians also have a red-white and green shield (scuderia?) on their shirts if they hold the League championship and a red white and green 'target' ('roundel' is what they used to call them in Airfix kits) if they were in the Air Force the previous year.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

should we win the Champions League then sure, otherwise it's pathetic.

Edit: Sorry Swiss - What he said.

Do that and no one will be sober long enough to sanction it

What do we put on the shirt for a 4th division title?

 

[designblade]

Man City have 3 gold stars above their badge which as far as I know, represent absolutely naff all.

Edit: Sorry just noticed this was already mentioned, oops!

 

[BladeFisher]

Absolutely not. Stars should only be for World Cups, and either league titles or major European honors...and that's at a push. If a club feel's they have to put a star on their kit to remind everyone they've won something then thats pretty sad...especially if its dating back to pre war!!

We could have a mini dino logo to indicate the league championship was two centuries ago.
