How The Lombardi Is Made

[AROS]

My saturation with everything Seahawks Super Bowl Champions has taken me to videos like this. Anything even remotely related, I'm all over it like Sherman on Crabtree.

I've been doing the same thing all week, but I'm even more pathetic than you are.

Here's how the Lombardi Trophy was delivered by FedEx to the SuperB owl:

Damn. I suddenly noticed how dusty it is in here.

I like posts like this. They break up the monotony around here.

Great find.

It was made with hard work and discipline and attention to detail and practice. In the preparation.
Same way you get to Carnegie Hall....


Wait......oh, you said "MAKE"....I thought you said.....oh, never mind.....

Pretty kewl...I saw that Tiffany's is selling small crystal football paper weights with the Hawks and SB logo on it for $120

How do you suppose one embarks into the career of "making the Super Bowl trophy?"

Fascinating stuff. They make a damn beautiful trophy.

I just thought now that we are all Lombardi connoisseurs and all.

Question...Does anyone know if each SB winning team gets only one Lombardi? If so, who gets to keep the trophy? The owner I would assume?

 

[12thMode]

I believe it stays with the organization. So maybe they keep it on display at the VMAC or somewhere at the CLink?

After the trophy is awarded, it is sent back to Tiffany's to be engraved with the names of the participating teams, the date, location, and the game's final score.[10] It is then sent back to the winning team for them to keep. Smaller replicas are made for each person on the winning team.

I have been looking for a good replica Lombardi and have had no luck. If anyone comes across one, please PM me or post here. Thanks.

This reminds me of the opening on that Seahawks 2005 Season Pack I bought. I can now go back and watch those games without crying :mrgreen:
