Fun Facts About the Super Bowl Trophy
Like any great design moment, it started with a sketch: Not long after the merger of the National Football League and American Football League in 1966, Tiffany & Co. Vice President Oscar Riedener got together for lunch with Pete Rozelle, the first commissioner of the newly created NFL, to discuss the design of a trophy to be awarded for the “world-championship” game created as a result of the merger. Riedener sketched the original trophy, which has not changed in size or design, on a cocktail napkin.
Just the stats: Crafted entirely of sterling silver by Tiffany & Co. silversmiths in a Rhode Island workshop, the trophy stands 22 inches high and weighs 7 lbs.

One super debut: The first trophy was awarded to the world-champion Green Bay Packers on January 15, 1967; the Packers captured the trophy again the following year.
No Deflategate here: The trophy’s design features a three-sided concave pedestal topped by a regulation-size football (we’re assuming at the properly inflated PSI). The football is also fixed in a kicking position.
Name game: Between 1967 and 1970 the trophy was engraved with “World Professional Football Championship.” In 1971 it was rechristened the Vince Lombardi Trophy to honor the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, who had passed away the previous September. Fittingly, among Lombardi’s most famous quotes is, “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
Playing for keeps: Unlike hockey’s Stanley Cup, which is passed to the winning team each season, each winning Super Bowl team gets to keep its own Vince Lombardi trophy.
Winning tradition: Tiffany & Co. boasts a long history of crafting championship trophies. The first created by the house’s silversmiths dates back to 1860, a trophy for a Kentucky horse-racing association that ultimately transitioned into the award for the Preakness Stakes; today it remains the oldest continuously contested trophy in the U.S. Tiffany & Co. also crafts the trophies for the Super Bowl MVP (known as the Pete Rozelle trophy), as well as baseball’s World Series trophy, basketball’s NBA and WNBA trophies, the silver trays awarded to the winners of the New York City Marathon and the pair of silver cups won by the male and female champions of the U.S. Open.
