Where was the CL star above our crest yesterday?

Is the right answer. Two stars on your shirt for winning two knockout competitions more than 40 years ago is definitely small-time. I don't know why it would get singled out as being more noteworthy than a domestic title win.

Especially when it's a new development. They didn't feel the need to include it in the 80s or 90s.

In Italy and Germany, the stars are for an accumulation of league titles.

In Italy (and Holland, Sweden…) - you get a star for ever 10 league titles you win
In Germany - it’s a sliding scale of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 stars for 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 titles

I don’t like either idea and prefer that we don’t do any of that in England. Especially when you think that in about 150 years’ time some clubs could have dozens of stars all over their kit because they’ve won so many league titles. It’s just better the way we don’t have them.

Although, I do like how the league champions in Italy wear the Italian crest and the cup champions wear the air force rings. Not that I’d want to copy that or owt, that’s their thing.

Celtic have one star I guess for European Cup.
But why do Aberdeen have 2

It was indeed on the Manchester COA. But never originally.

It was awarded to the city of Manchester in 1958 because of the city’s origin links to Ancient Rome, and added to the mantling on the COA for a short period of time.

Just like they have the name ‘Manchester’ despite being in Trafford, they adopted that new feature from the Mcr COA just after the Munich Air Disaster and wore it on their 1958 FA Cup final kit because it was awarded to the city almost exactly at that time.

It soon disappeared from the Mcr COA (modern one here):

But will always be associated with United in 1958. As seen as their fan groups have retaken it since we stopped using it.

It was the official crest of Manchester Corporation
