Captain.

Why the 4 stars though? (and it looks like the first star is yellow, not white)

"That's because team captains this year will be wearing a special [URL="http://www.detroitlions.com/photos/CaptainC_Body_070903.jpg"]captain's patch[/URL] on the upper-right chest area (as you can sort of see [URL="http://www.detroitlions.com/photos/Captains_CR_070903.jpg"]here[/URL]). The patches will be color-coordinated to match each jersey, and the gold star underneath the "C" marks the number of years that the player has been a captain under the league's new captaincy initiative.How big a change is this? This big: To Uni Watch's knowledge, only three NFL teams in the past 50 years have worn captains' designations -- the [URL="http://cachemediasrv.patriots.com/ImgDyn.cfm?s=22851.jpg&c=1&w=525&cs=1"]1994 Patriots[/URL], the [URL="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/226/457895614_51581d0817_o.jpg"]1992 Chargers[/URL], and the [URL="http://www.profootballhof.com/assets/story_image/16-White_Danny_188_12_17.jpg"]1983 Cowboys[/URL]. And Uni Watch wishes it had stayed that way. For starters, real estate on NFL jerseys is already in short supply, what with the disappearing sleeves, the massive NFL Equipment logo, the increasing use of chest wordmarks, and so on. Adding another element to the mix is gonna make for some seriously crowded jerseys -- especially for teams that already wear [URL="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/38/fullj.getty-76082185sl015_pittsburgh_v_.jpg"]other jersey patches[/URL]."
