Rosenborg Remove Stars From Club Crest - Stars to Remain on Kits of Men's Team
On 1 January, Rosenborg Ballklub (the more than 100-year-old Rosenborg team) and Rosenborg Kvinner (Rosenborg Women) merged into one club. This also meant a change in the use of the club's logo.
Merged in 2020: Rosenborg Women's predecessor club dates back to 1917
Since 2007, Rosenborg have used two stars above the logo. Each of the stars symbolizes ten league championships (Rosenborg A-team men have 26 in total). The stars have been used together with the logo in all contexts. From 2023, the stars will only be used on the men's team's uniforms and training clothes.
The Rosenborg Women's team has a tradition as long as the Men's team. The original Women's club, SK Trondheims-Ørn, were founded in 1917. In 2020, they became a section of Rosenborg Ballklub.
"It is natural for us to change this now that the merger is final. But it is important to emphasize that there will be a smooth transition. Digitally, the change will happen quickly. All other places where the logo is used with stars will take longer to change," said Rosenborg's general manager Tore Bjørseth Berdal.
Bayern München Women's Have Stars of Men's Team
Meanwhile, German giants FC Bayern München still have a big illogicality regarding the stars. The Bayern Munich Women are wearing the 5 stars of the Men's team. They were only allowed to have one star officially (3 titles = 1 star).
German Bundesliga Women's Stars Rule
In the German Women's Bundesliga, a club may wear one star above their crest for three won Bundesliga championships, two stars for five won championships, and three stars for ten won championships.
Other German Women's teams are doing it correct
Other German Women's teams like Eintracht Frankfurt (origins as 1. FFC Frankfurt) and Wolfsburg are having the correct stars of the Women's teams on their kits (2).
Everything fine except for the kits - Bayern's corporate logo has no stars
The corporate logo of FC Bayern München has no stars at all. So everything is fine except for the kits - for whatever reason...
What is your take on the Rosenborg logo in general? What do you think of Bayern München's Women's having the stars of the Men's team? Let us know in the comments below.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.

It features clean monochrome white applications throughout, including the club crest, the Nike Swoosh, and the front sponsor. Two variations of the jersey are available: the domestic Thai League version featuring Leo branding on the chest, and an AFC Champions League Two version with Singha Corporation and a Thai flag detail on the sleeve.
