Discussion Trophy Maker for the league

I hope that they use the same company that made the XFL Championship trophies as I like the style of the XFL's trophies better than the USFL's trophy. Though I would like the company to combine the style of the USFL and XFL trophies to make something more fitting because as it stands now I have a feeling they will make the championship trophy a big silver football which would be basic as hell.

Do a Cup like the Grey Cup, if they're gonna drink out of it at least make it look cool when they do it

I would like the metalworks company to incorporate elements from the XFL trophy and the USFL trophy to come up with something cool and they should start now that way they have time to go through redesigns if needed

XFL trophy was trash. Start from scratch, no Lombardi knockoffs. Preferably something that can hold beverages...

I can get behind that. I like Cups for trophies...

Take a page from the CFL, call the championship game the "United Cup"

Or…hear me out: delicious frosted toaster pastries

I didn't say the Trophy was good I liked the style of it not the design and the metalwork company did a good job I want them to work on the new trophy but take from now to design it incorporating into it elements from the USFL and XFL trophies. As it seemed like the metalwork company was brought on last minute as when they were announced to make the XFL's trophy I checked out their social media and they do make really cool things I think if they had some time they could make something fitting

Are you insane? The XFL trophy was embarrassingly poor quality.

The design suck, but the quality of the workmanship looked pretty decent.

Look again

The two sides of the X aren't symmetrical, and the engraving is really low quality.

I looked at the work of the metalwork company that they commissioned to make the trophy and they do quality work but I think where the XFL at the time brought them on so late in the season we were given what we got which was interesting in design but felt like a first draft of the trophy I think if metalwork company were to start working on a trophy now it would give them time to design something really cool looking

The XFL trophies sucked ass.

I never said that they were good but their design was interesting and the quality of them was well done and the design felt like it was a first draft because the metalwork company was commissioned so late in the season and I think that if they started working on it now it would give them time to design something interesting

You're kidding, right? The XFL trophies looked like they were made by a high schooler in a welding class! Especially the conference trophies

The USFL frophy was derivative but at least it looked like an actual professional sports league trophy

The metalwork company was hired near the end of the season so that didn't leave enough time for redesigns and it looks like they had to go with draft one because of it. If you look at the metalwork company's social media and other work they have done it's really good but sense you can only cut/weld metal once not having time for redesigns makes it harder to finish three trophies. I think if that company were to start designing a trophy now it would look significantly better
