The three stars above the German national team crest correspond to the 1954, 1974, and 1990 World Cup titles—the fourth star, from the 2014 Brazil World Cup, was added to the crest following the victory at the Maracanã against Argentina. A scarf with three stars is therefore an item manufactured before July 2014, which situates it precisely in time and adds a relevant dating detail for the collector. Adidas and the German national team form one of the longest-standing and most recognizable partnerships in world football, with the three stripes being an identity element as deeply rooted as the federation's own crest.
