What do you guys think are the greatest trophies in all of sports. Personally, my number 1 would be the World Cup trophy and the Stanley Cup would be a close 2nd.
The Vince Lombardi trophy is definitely the most disappointing, especially when you consider the prestige and history that goes along with it. You’d think the winner of the Superbowl would get a, well, super looking bowl.
You all are sleeping on the MLB Commissioner’s Trophy. Look at all those flags! Handle with care. No way Tom Brady would risk tossing that puppy from duck boat to duck boat.
I will definitely go with Stanley cup no 1 overall.
A close 2nd would be the Heisman Trophy. Its the best looking player award in all of sports IMO. I would rank the Larry O’Brian Trophy (NBA Championship) & Lombardi Trophy (Super Bowl Championship) 3rd & 4th respectively mainly due to prestige. To round out my top 5 I put the Olympic Gold Medal.
For me it’s the World Cup. A beautiful statuette, not grandiose and ostentatious, it’s perfect.
Honourable mention though to The Ashes. The victor of the biennial cricket test series between England and Australia wins a small (4 inches!) urn said to contain the ashes of a cricket ball from the late 1800s.
My only qualm of the World Cup trophy is that you can’t drink out of it like the Stanley Cup, that is a must for me. But other than that, it’s beautiful.
