Where does our premiership cup rate amongst other world cups?

For what its worth, the Lombardi hasn't changed one iota is 43 years. So it's done well for itself already in regards to standing the test of time and modernisation. Dunno how it looks 'corporationy' though.

I reckon it is pretty cool as is. Wouldn't mind if they upgraded it a little too make it a little more classy e.g. like the FA cup or Beldisloe or WWE, but nothing dramatic. Just embellish the basic design a little bit.

It stacks up well against the others.

AFL Premiership cup is a classic, best looking trophy cup there is. Anyone know when the first cup of this design was issued?

LOL

I thought this thread was going to compare their importance...
Lol me too =)

I had some strange opinion ready as to why the AFL premiership is different to the FA Cup, or the CL blah blah blah

But yes, our cup is definitely on par with the EPL, CL, EL, FA, Carling etc. as it looks all class - the WC trophy is just in a world of its own, really

The World Cup's cup isn't even a cup - try drink out of it

AFL Logo looks tacky on our Cup (is it really on in color like that?).

FIFA is a magnificent trophy, so is the Stanley.

Of this lot, I personally think the AFL Cup ranks last.

1959, hasn't really changed since.

I think it's better than all of the others, especially the gold centenary version in 1996.

When I started this thread I honestly thought there would be a lot of people saying our cup needs to be touched up a bit. Seems like there are way more romantics than I thought (not that it is a bad thing). For pure design, I think it is quite poor imo.

In the Hawthorn Museum at Waverley there is a whole bunch of weird tropphies for various things like VFL v SANFL premiers games, pre-season cups etc.

Anyone got any pics of other trophies that footy has had ?
