Yep, just like real life it would be nice to recognize a team by adding an official star above their emblem that is separated from the emblem itself and can be there for whatever emblem you chose.
5 leagues 1 star up to 4 stars for 20 leagues and then you can ad 1 golden star for 25 leagues to save space.
I know this is a visual thing and I prefer some urgent bugs and game play changes to be addressed first, but just throwing it out there.
