I'm curious as to what everyone things about the stars on Pachuca's crest, specifically the 4 gold stars on the bottom. As far as I know, 3 represent the CONCACAF titles. The remaining star represents (I'm assuming) the Copa Sudamericana title.
Should that title be represented by a star? Does it deserve a different color the way it used to be? Does it deserve a special star all of its own? As far as I know there isn't really a standard in Mexico, plus this situation is unique to the entire world.
Perhaps the crest itself should be redesigned to incorporate the star (ala Aston Villa)? What do you think?

I would like the Sudamericana star to have a more prominent role in the club crest, after all it's the clubs most important title, but I suppose the clubs administrators would like to place the same value on all of the international championships won.

While Sudamericana is a big deal, I still say CONCACAF titles are more important because it is the federation Pachuca plays in. I'm not downplaying it at all, but if Boca Juniors came and mopped the floor with everyone in the CCL, I don't think they'd find it more important or even of equal importance to winning the Copa Liberatadores. There's something special about being the big dog of your region, despite how little respect it may get.
The FMF and MLS are much, much better leagues than most of the world realizes, MLS especially. Just because we're 40ish years behind in being world powers compared to Italy, England, Germany, Brazil, etc...doesn't mean our club teams are complete rubbish. We'll get there eventually. CONCACAF is rising faster than Europe realizes.

i think the suda americana is better than 5 concacaf titles, cause it shows we are dominant everywhere.
