[edit] Greuther Fürth
I'm not sure the German FA has anything to approve or disapprove of in this case, as the stars are not worn over the badge but are indeed part of the clubs logo. It would seem that the rules regarding the number of stars does not apply then. Madcynic 13:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, the use of stars is outlined in the DFB's updated uniform policy. I have a copy of it somewhere as a reference. There was a detailed version of the updated policy on a previous version of this page, but it seems to have been nuked. Go back to one of my earlier edits and you'll see what's what. I'll get to restoring it (I guess) a little later. Greuther is now entitled to their star, as are non-Bundesliga sides, including former DDR champions and women's teams.

- Not unless the rules have been updated since Nov 2005; those rules (in German) are on the DFB website. I updated the rotted link yesterday to the clothing regulations [1]. I also updated Verdiente Meistervereine. The DFB rules allow one star with the number of titles within it, similar to the UEFA badge of honour. This only applies to leagues directly under the DFB jurisdiction; the Bundesliga (top 2 divisions) are under a separate organization, the DFL, which controls the Verdiente Meistervereine rules. Greuther Fürth are in Div2, so under DFL rules, not DFB, and thus entitled to no star. Under DFB rules (if say they get relegated) they could have one star with "3" inside (rather than 3 stars). As to the "above-the-logo" versus "part-of-the-logo" debate, I think that's also the basis on which a blind eye is turned to Dynamo Berlin's 3 stars. I think "unapproved" is still an accurate description of the situation, whereas "disapproved" would perhaps be too strong a word; no courtcase is pending AFAIK to force clubs to comply.

- On a related note, does anyone know of any lower-level club which actually implements the DFB single-star system? I can only go based on web pictures; no club kits I've seen have the single inscribed star. jnestorius(talk) 15:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

- Well, that's pretty much a confusing situation then, isn't it? Although your explanation of the situation seems clear enough. "Unsanctioned" maybe? I believe I'll just stand back and let the smart people sort it out. Thanks for the info. Keep well. Wiggy! 15:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Berliner FC Dynamo
So I see that Dynamo has made first use of the new system in a pop-up on their homepage by displaying a single star marked '10' over their team crest. I've only noticed it in that one instance so far ... Wiggy! 02:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
