Vince Lombardi Trophy
The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the trophy awarded each year to the winning team of the National Football League's annual championship game, the Super Bowl. It is considered to be the NFL's most prestigious award. The trophy was originally called the "World Championship Game Trophy" when the Super Bowl was originally named the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. It was renamed in 1970 in honor of legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi.
Since Super Bowl XXX, it is presented to the winning team's owner on the field following the game. Previously, the trophy was presented inside the winning team's locker room.
Unlike trophies such as the Stanley Cup and the Grey Cup, a new Vince Lombardi Trophy is made every year and the winning team maintains permanent possession of that trophy.
Each trophy is handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. master artisans at their workshop in Parsippany, New Jersey and is valued at $12,500. The trophy depicts a regulation-size football in kicking position that is made entirely of sterling silver. It stands 22 inches (55 cm) tall, weighs seven pounds (3 kg), and takes approximately four months and 72 man-hours to create. The words "Vince Lombardi Trophy" and the NFL logo are engraved on the base. After the trophy is awarded, it is sent back to Tiffany & Co. to be engraved with the winning team's name.
