Is there only one Super Bowl trophy?
The trophy, created by Tiffany & Co. is valued at $25,000,
made entirely of sterling silver, and depicts a regulation-size
football in kicking position that, standing 22 inches (56 cm) tall,
weighing 7 pounds (3.2 kg), it takes approximately four months and
72 man-hours to create. The words "Vince Lombardi Trophy" are
engraved and the NFL shield is affixed in a separate item onto the
base. After the trophy is awarded, it is sent back to Tiffany's to
be engraved with the winning team's name, the date and final score
of the Super Bowl, and then is sent back to the winning team for
them to keep, thus there is one Lobardi Trophy for each Super Bowl
- although the first two "Super Bowls" were not called that until
Super Bowl III (the first two Super Bowls received their
designations as Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II retroactively when
Super Bowl III received its name).The trophy has been awarded since
1967 when the Super Bowl's official designation was the AFL-NFL
World Championship Game. The trophy was renamed in 1970 in memory
of legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi after his
sudden death from cancer to commemorate his victories in the first
two Super Bowls.
It should be noted that they keep an "extra" trophy on hand just
in case the one destined for a particular Super Bowl gets damaged
or destroyed during the post-game celebration.
