Shels were the first to have one in this country - followed by the renters and then Wexford Youths.
Wexford are taking the michael with their stars for winning underage competitions I reckon. Reminds me of Man City adding stars to their new crest because it looked good.
thanks man, i knew about the likes of celtic having one because of the european cup, but wasnt sure why rangers had 5Quote:

Aberdeen had 2 for their two european trophies (one of them the Super Cup). jaysus even Wexford have a couple of stars for the Youth inter county cups they've wonQuote:

Seen our new kit last night. Looks the business.
What I meant was it's standard to particular Leagues Europe wide - such as Italy, Sweden, Germany, Turkey, Netherlands, etc. - who each have their own way of doing it.Quote:

Does the Pats Jersey not look alot like a Cork one of old? Maybe it's just the sponsor.
Maybe Im just mad,
Maybe both,
Maybe I need to do some work rather than posting on here,
Maybe I sould stop saying Maybe?
Limerick have two Stars above the crest. As dodge says it doesn't really mean anything. Limerick could say its from winning two league titles but really it just looks good.
drogs have a huge star right in the middle of our crest, think it was cos we won the league cup in 1984
The St.Pats jersey looks well in that close up picture, cool the way they have the bigger faded crest in the background.
fair points...Quote:

Not true, we had a star before shels were even founded ..;)Quote:

Looking at the photos - it's the same main Umbro template as used for the Sweden National Team and Glentoran jerseys - as well as the current Premiership Referees KitQuote:
