Part 2 Consider your Fantasy Football Trophy Options

A nice mid-range trophy for your league is a Keeper award, meaning that the recipient "keeps" the trophy. It does not necessarily refer to a Keeper League versus a Dynasty League, although it can apply.

Keeper awards run from the moderately priced to the very expensive, depending on your budget (and your ego.) They can be purchased by the league, usually for last year's winner. Many times, individuals who have had to surrender the perpetual trophy purchase a keeper to commemorate their victorious season.

I like to offer a perpetual/keeper combination, so that if someone buys a perpetual trophy, there is a smaller matching version of the same item. Here is an example of a perpetual trophy and matching keeper:





Although they make look the same size in the photograph, the Perpetual is 15 inches high and the Keeper trophy is 8 inches high. I plan to discuss engraving in detail eventually, but for right now, let's just say that the Keeper trophy should contain the following information.


  1. Year of the victory
  2. Recipient's Name
  3. League and/or Team Name

You can also include the word CHAMPION or other appropriate title, and season scores are a nice touch. You should be able to pick up a nice Keeper Award for $10.00 to $30.00.
