Super Bowl Betting Trophy
The trophy awarded to the team that wins the Super Bowl is called the Lombardi trophy. Although us bettor do not receive a trophy, we do receive money when we win our bets. The trophy was named after the legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi. The idea of the Lombardi trophy was conceived over a cocktail with Tiffany & Co designer Oscar Riedner.
Riedner took out a cocktail napkin and drew his initial sketch of what the Lombardi trophy should look like and Pete Rozelle, the NFL commissioner at that time, decided that he loved the sketch and put the trophy into production. Consequently enough, the Green Bay Packers were the first team to hoist the NFL championship trophy back in 1967. In 1970, the trophy was officially named to the Lombardi trophy to commemorate Lombardi’s achievements in the league.
The Lombardi trophy itself has a cult-like following. Many NFL fans buy replica Lombardi trophies to put on their mantles.
