Tiffany Making Super Bowl Trophy for 38th Consecutive Year
January 21, 04For the 38th consecutive year, Tiffany & Co is creating the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy to be presented to the winning team on Super Bowl Sunday on February 1.
The design features a regulation-size football made entirely of sterling silver. The 22-inch-high (55.9 cm) trophy weighs nearly seven pounds (3.175 kg) and takes approximately four months and 72 man-hours to complete.
Originally designed by Tiffany for the first Super Bowl in 1967, the trophy is created at Tiffany's silversmithing workshop in Parsippany, New Jersey, where master artisans employ age-old techniques to create it, including spinning chasing, hand engraving, silversmithing and polishing.
Tiffany & Co also creates trophies for other great sporting events, including the NBA Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, the World Series Trophy for Major League Baseball, and the U.S. Open Tennis Championship Trophies.
