the mls scudetto was originally a curved, triangular badge featuring a backdrop of the american flag behind a replica of the alan i. rothenberg mls cup trophy. first worn by los angeles galaxy in 2006, following their 2005 mls cup title, the houston dynamo wore the same triangular scudettos in 2007 and 2008 during their dual-cup run. it was redesigned after the 2008 season after the change to the mls cup trophy. it is now an oval-shaped black badge with the philip f. anschutz trophy in the middle. the mls scudetto is worn by the winning team the season following the victory. it is only during the subsequent season (two years after winning the championship), that the team adds a star – a common soccer signifier of titles won – above the team logo. the team can display the star on other items beside their jersey in the year after winning the cup, but only if the scudetto is not shown. the columbus crew was the first team to wear the redesigned scudetto. real salt lake would wear the scudetto in 2010 after winning their first mls cup in 2009. a year after the colorado rapids would also wear the scudetto after their cup run in 2010 for the 2011 season. finally the los angeles galaxy would wear the scudetto after winning the mls cup in 2011, ironically it would be the last team to wear the redesigned scudetto. after the 2012 season, mls decided not to use the scudetto for upcoming season and instead the defending mls cup champions would have a gold star above one or more silver stars indication the team's mls cup wins, followed by an additional silver star added to the lined stars the following season. the los angeles galaxy were the first to receive the gold star above the team's three silver stars for the 2013 season.
