    I mean we won something, our uniforms should reflect that success.

    To be honest it was a huge achievement and they've earned the right to have a star over the badge. They showed perseverance and it would show great recognition to soccer in Canada.

    I actually think it's stupid that MLS let teams use one star per championship.... It should be either one star per 5 titles or one star per CONCACAF CL win.

    Canadian Championship is a bit too easy to win right now to warrant a star... BUT I wouldn't mind them being able to wear a 'scudetto' of sorts on their shirt this year, like a Canadian shield patch or something.

    MLS should use the NHL point system as reference. Imagine how that would look on a shirt.

    Agreed on all counts except the one star per championship. The league is quite new and DC have the most titles at 4. When you get to 5, a somewhat larger star can be used. That system should be good up until 15 championships or so. That'll take a while for anyone to achieve.

    5 titles? That sounds like a lot of work, it will take forever to get a cool looking star on our badge if we go this route.

    This is like getting a star for eating your vegetables. So, no.

    No recognition for beating USL teams. Ever.

    As it is, it's embarrassing that our record against them is so poor.

    What is wrong with that? They should get a star for every game they do not concede in last 75 minutes, a smaller, and different coloured star, for NOT SHITTING YOU BED. positive reinforcment.

    Sounds like the NHL point system to me.

    How about a different colour Maple Leaf for each Canadian Cup win. Start with a Bronze Maple Leaf for one, a silver for 3 and a gold for 5.

    Sick idea, the stars can be implemented in the supporters gate facade. With an inscription on each star to detail how it was earned.

    I would say no. In Europe it was mainly used to signify winning the European cup before other teams started using it for other championships probably because they know they will never win the European cup themselves (see Glasgow Rangers for example - ha ha).

    The Canadian cup is not exactly the most prestegious of cups, I mean there were only three teams in the bloody thing although I am glad we won it none the less. For me TFC should wait until they win a concacaf cup or if need be even the MLS.

    Pffft. What's the point? We Will never live long enough to see that happen. We could have star(s) by next season you know.

    The star was first used in Italy by Juventus to signify their winning ten league titles, the first Italian team to do so. It was adopted elsewhere afterwards.
