jamboinglasgow Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Always thought Aberdeen's second star for the Super cup was a bit much. It is an achievement but putting a star up for winning a competition which only has two teams is silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS98 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Aberdeen’s are cringy af. Rangers have 5 stars to represent 50 league titles I think. Makes no sense really. They’ve just made it up.

XB52 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I thought the huns had ditched their 5 stars this season. Just checked, no more stars there now.

Silvery_Moon Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Yep. Fair play to Aberdeen for the Cup Winners Cup and if they want to put a star for that then good luck to them. As others have said though, a second star for a friendly match is a joke. Edited February 6 by Silvery_Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheatfieldWarrior Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I guess some clubs add them to commemorate things they have won - Italians are consistent - only 3 sides with 10 or more titles with Inter and ac both on 19 wins so next one to win a title gets their second star first. inter currently lead seria A. Bonnyrigg Rose - first 2 starts are for Scottish Junior Cups, remainder probably for EoS Superleague titles - pictured in 2019 - they've reset since becoming a spfl club based on recent kits.

Buffon’s top does look a bit daft with the club badge, adidas badge, stars, shield & target. We should bring it in just to see the rage from Celtic fans having a Saltire shield on their tops.

mbingcrosby Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Clubs in the US put stars on for league titles, but US leagues are just a liiiiiittle bit younger than European leagues. The LA Galaxy wear 5 stars above their crest because they've won 5 titles...the most of any club. I look forward to my hometown club adding a star someday, but definitely understand why it's different here than in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) As someone who was born in the generation after Aberdeen’s success, the 2nd star for a Super Cup win is a bit of an embarrassment. Can understand the one star for Cup Winners cup, but an equal star for a glorified friendly is a bit bizarre. Could be wrong but I can’t imagine there is many other clubs in Europe that commemorate a Super Cup win with a star on their jersey, in some ways it devalues the first one.
