For years and years people have asked us for a Lombardi style replica trophy like the famous Super Bowl trophy to be used in their fantasy football leagues.Our question never was "Could we?" The question was always "Should we?"
Here at Sculpture Alley we believe first and foremost in respect. We love and respect the game of football, and everything it stands for. It is our very own American game, little understood for its complexity in the rest of the world, and for that we are glad. Let them have their soccer. We have football.
So we were asked again and again by fantasy football league commissioners for a Lombardi replica trophy. " We want it exactly like the Super Bowl Trophy," they would ask. " We want it to be exactly like the real thing."
The problem is folks, you didn't EARN it. I would like to have an Academy Award for the story I told that cop about why my car was overdue for inspection, but hey, I didn't earn it, I'm not a professional actor. We may be professional fans, we may thirst and lust and spend our hard earned dollars on the game of football we love so much, but it is our opinion that we don't deserve, each and every one of us, an authentic Super Bowl Trophy. If we all had one, the real ones wouldn't be worth squat, and certainly wouldn't symbolize the amazing athletes that fought so hard to win them.
Having said all that, we feel that we came up with a great moral compromise, an awesome looking trophy that is an homage to the original without being a copy. Sculpture Alley presents The VINCE Fantasy Football Trophy # 31, our most recent and quite spectacular perpetual trophy.
Sporting the same stylish lines as the famous Super Bowl icon, The Vince trophy measures 16 inches overall by 7 inches wide by 7 inches deep. It is not silver plated or chromed, the finish is a more subdued satiny silver. In fact, we also have The Vince in bronze for a totally different look!
Each version of The Vince sports a raised FFL logo, and comes on a wood base that includes a free engraved title plate and 6 small detail plates to honor your past, current and future league winners!
Don't miss seeing what we think may very well be the quintessential Fantasy Football Trophy, and check out our 30 other Perpetual Football Trophies, Loser Trophies and Keeper Trophies! Visit us at Sculpture Alley!
