The Vince Lombardi Super Bowl trophy is one of the most famous and prestigious sporting trophies on earth.
But how can I have my own Super Bowl trophy without having the actual skill and work ethic?
Where can I buy a Vince Lombardi trophy and cheat my way to success?
You can buy a Vince Lombardi Trophy online or you can actually make one yourself.
Depending where you buy them, the pricing and quality may vary.
We are going to discuss all the best options today. Let’s get started!
What is the Super Bowl Trophy Called?
First off, what is it we are actually talking about here?
I often wonder how many people even know that the Super Bowl Trophy is called “The Vince Lombardi Trophy, or for that matter, who Vince Lombardi is.
This makes sense of course, because we don’t say “come over and bring some snacks to watch the Vince Lombardi Trophy Game!”, like the way we say “Stanley Cup”.
No, we say “Super Bowl Party”, or “The Big Game” if you are a tv show trying not to get sued.
Where to Buy a Vince Lombardi Replica Trophy?
In my view, the best way to get a high quality replica of the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy just like the NFL pros, would be from someone who actually specializes in replica sports trophies.
The best one I have ever seen online is copytrophy.com. (Not an affiliate link).
I am not associated with them, and I do not stand to gain from them in any way, but it seems to make sense to me to go to someone who actually has experience with this type of thing.
Of course, you could also try other well known sources and possibly get it quicker. You can get Vince Lombardi NFL Trophies from Amazon here.
Some places offer different sizes and styles, and many will allow for lines of custom text.
Chrome Styled Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy
This one is the chrome styled replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The cost on all these trophies is actually much less than I was expecting, but you can expect to pay more than double the cost for the chrome style.
It will also cost extra to get custom text or images obviously.
So Why Would Someone Buy a Replica of the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy?
If you are here reading this right now, it probably seems like a silly question, but I will answer it for fun anyway.
- Decoration: A great addition to any man cave or trophy mantle. Anyone can go buy a team Jersey and hang it on the wall, but imagine displaying that beside a replica of the Superbowl trophy?
It would look amazing! - Beer Leagues: This would be the most bad ass thing to be able to win in a beer league or pickup style/drop in league game. Forget mere bragging rights. Win and actual (well…replica) Super Bowl Trophy!
- Live the Dream: Most people will never know what it’s like to make it to the NFL, let alone win a Super Bowl. Get a taste of what it might actually feel like.
By the way, and interesting thing to note here, is that a replica trophy is pretty much what each player gets to keep anyway? Did you know that?
When a team is awarded the Vince Lombardi trophy when they win the Super Bowl, they do not all get to take home the exact kind of trophy awarded to the team. They each get a replica of the trophy to take home with them.
Speaking of odds of making the big leagues…have you ever wondered what the actual chances of making pro actually are?
Here is a good statistical summary of your odds of making it in the NFL.
Ya, not very good I would say. Skip training and camp and buy yourself some success. Get a replica trophy and be done with the whole thing.
