Have you ever wondered why the Super Bowl Trophy is named The Lombardi Trophy? How about it's size? How much is it worth? Here is a little explanation about it…
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" in 1967, when the Super Bowl was originally named the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. It was renamed in 1970 in memory of legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi to commemorate his victories in the first two Super Bowls.
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. The trophy is valued at $25,000 dollars. The trophy depicts a regulation-size football in kicking position that is made entirely of sterling silver. It stands 55 cm tall, weighs 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, the date and final score of the Super Bowl.
The winning team is rewarded the trophy afterwards. The team is allowed to keep the trophy at their own facility.
