What does that star on the J.League shirts REALLY mean?

Something’s been bugging me for a LONG time…. if the J.league is “only” 15 seasons old, how come the stars on various teams’ shirts add up to MUCH more than 15? I thought that a star was added for a CHAMPIONSHIP – or that’s certainly how it SHOULD be! How come, for example, do Kashima Antlers have NINE stars on their sleeve, when they’ve only won FOUR Championships (1996, 1998, 2000, 2001)…. now even if we add the stages they won before losing the “big” game, that’s only two more (1993, 1997)….. surely they’re not so desperate to get little decorations on their shirts that they’ve added their three Nabisco Cup wins? They may as well have added three more for the times they LOST in the Nabisco Cup final!!One star for one CHAMPIONSHIP – and THAT’S ALL! That’s the aim of jsoccer.com!! Let me know your thoughts!Alan
