Yay, new MLS rules!
This time they've (extensively) codified how teams are allowed to display championship stars on their jerseys.

There's only one appropriate response to this perfectly uncluttered and straightforward system, and that is:

How is that not straightforward?
1. You get one silver star for each championship.
2. Defending champ star is larger, gold, and shows year.
3. 5 championships converts small silver stars to gold, no year designation.

You can only make it simpler by losing information, such as identifying the defending champs.

Yeah, yeah, it's not that bad. Though I'm waiting to see the ways Garber allows the big market teams to alter this when they decide the system doesn't fit their jersey design scheme.

If you win a Cup, like the Timbers just did, you start with a gold star, though, and it becomes a small silver star after two (?... shouldn't it demote to silver the very next season?) years.

I think the "two year" thing is confusing people. Timbers win in 2015. in 2016 (1 year after) they get a gold star. In 2017 (two years after) it becomes silver.

I'm thinking "2 years post championship" means the year after the year you won. So Timbers win in 2015, then they get the gold star with a "15" in it for the 2016 (current season), then it turns to a small grey one for the 2017 season and the new champ (NYCFC???) gets the big gold star with the "16" in it.

yes, its easy to understand.

Current Title holders get 1 big star plus a silver star for any other past title. Everyone else gets silver stars for each past title. If you manage to have 5 titles, you get 1 small gold star. Its just a counting system that goes up to 5.

I don't like the title holder star though. looks cheesy. I'd prefer to count the titles via stars and then give homage to current holders another way. Don't blow up one of the stars.
 
meh you get gold star if you are defending champion but also get same gold star with a barely noticeable difference if you are at least a 5 time champion? should of kept the "scudetto" for defending champion..silver star for titles after defending and leave the gold star for every 5 or 10 titles.

No i think current holders get a noticeably larger star with the championship year in it. Then if you get 5 titles you get a small gold star. The 'counting' stars are the same size just distinguished by color. The title holding start is large.

from a far im sure you will barely notice the difference unless its a huge star for defending champion. whatever because in the end if you have stars it means you are winning titles so thats what you want well worry about aesthetics later.

lucky for us we chose to have large circles all over our jersey this year instead of stars. Could have been a real faux pas!!!

Now I want to keep the Solar System jersey because when we win 20-30 championships, we can just have them all be little silver stars revolving around the NYCFC center of the Universe.

Why not just move the stars to over the MLS badge and current champion get a Gold badge.
