Rocket League have overhauled their club feature for the first time since launch and its well overdue I reckon. Some nice, cool additions to the area, including badges to obtain as a club now - all obtained just by playing in your club name with teammates.
A brand new stadium with new arena announcements was a nice surprise and well received.
Key Club Updates:
Club Career Stats will keep track of Club statistics earned over the course of the Club’s lifetime.
Club Seasonal milestones will be tracked in the form of Club Medals, a new concept in Rocket League. Clubs accumulate Medals by making progress in three main categories: Goals, Saves, and Assists. Each one of these categories includes three Medal milestones in order of accomplishment: Prospect, Signature, and Premier.
Reaching a milestone rewards a Club the associated Medal. This Medal is displayed in the Club profile, viewable in the Club menu and within Club matches (against any opponent, not just other Clubs).
Medals will be shown publicly in the intro sequence of matches where all members of at least one team are in the same Club (these are called “Club matches”).
If a Club receives the highest-tier Medal (Premier Medal) in all three stat categories, their Club profile icon will have a special look visible in intro sequences and the Club menu.
While public Medals help Clubs show off their progress and prestige, they might deter Clubs who enjoy playing more non-competitively.
Club Owners and Managers will be able to toggle public Medals on or off within the Club Customization menu, to prevent their Medals from being shown in Club match intro sequences.
By default, Club Medals will be shown in the Club match intro sequence. Club Medals will always be viewable in the Club menu, regardless of toggle status.
General Club Stats and Milestone Rules:
Club milestones will reset every Season. This gives Clubs opportunities to improve Season over Season, as well as earn new Club Titles every Season.
Once a Club earns a Medal, Club members will receive a notification that the Medal has been earned.
The Medal will immediately be shown on the Club profile.
Additionally, members will receive a notification when the Club earns a Club Title.
Stats towards Medal milestones are only recorded during matches with more than one player on each team, including Club matches.
There are three earnable Club Titles based on Club Medal progression. New Titles are available per Season, and linked to the tier of the Medal (Prospect, Signature, Premier).

What do you think? Personally, it feels a good Quality of Life update to prompt you to play more games with friends. Resets every season, so depends on how hard these medals are to collect.
