Pele has six new medals, wears them all at the same time

The Brazilian football federation has decided that the Taca Brasil and Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa titles won between 1959 and 1970 are equivalent to today's Campeonato Brasileiro titles, which suddenly gives Santos and Palmeiras more titles than Sao Paulo and Flamengo.

So to reflect that rewritten history, the CBF presented Pele with six new medals for those Santos titles he was a part of between 1961 and 1968 because, you know, Pele needs more medals.
