Cup Trophy

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 12:02:24 +0000

At the end of most team sport tournaments, the overall winners receive a cup trophy. This trophy can permanently reside in the winners display cabinet or it can be a floating trophy. A floating trophy means that the winners can only keep the trophy until the tournament starts again in the new season. A small plaque is attached to the trophy so that wins can be inscribed with the teams name and the year in which they won the tournament. This inscription will remain on the trophy for all eternity so that everybody is aware of the accomplishments of various teams in the sport.

Historical background of trophies

Daleen — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:24:51 +0000

Trophies have always been associated with great achievements and victories. The origin of the word can even be traced back to the root word of “trope” in Greek which has the meaning of beating or defeating of the enemy. Originally awarded for war victories, trophies came in the form of battle arms which would be placed on sticks or tree trunks to symbolize victory over the enemy at the place where the battle took place. The items had inscriptions about the battle and were in those days dedicated to specific gods.

No longer dedicated to gods, trophies still resemble victory and as such still have a special place in society, just as the items held a unique place in Rome where Romans constructed specific shrines in the forms of arches or columns. Some of the shrines can still be seen today.

Where did the golf trophy come from?

Daleen — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:04:57 +0000

The golf trophy is more than just an award for outstanding sportsmanship. It has long been tradition to award top players for their skills and commitment to the sport through the golf trophy. Most of the famous golf trophies come from the 1970’s onwards.

The first extremely important golf trophy was given out in America as far back as 1937. The PGA was the founder of the golf trophy with the Vardon Golf Trophy which is the oldest and most prestigious golf award.

Golf clubs, companies and event organizers can provide the same prestige to their events by investing in a quality crystal or metal golf trophy made according to their requirements. View our range of sport trophies or contact us for a custom order.

Tips on cleaning school trophies

Daleen — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:53:14 +0000

The same cleaning tips that have been given for cleaning school medals apply for cleaning school trophies. School trophies can be ordered from us as we are able to provide a wide variety of school trophies to fit any category.

If over time the brass or metal types of school trophies become dirty, you can use a non-abrasive cleaner used for the cleaning of jewellery. Submerge the trophy in the non-abrasive cleaner for a few seconds and then wash it in warm soapy water.

Rinse it properly with cold water and let it air dry. If the school trophies are extremely dirty you may have to repeat the process a few times. The process will work for bronze and silver medals. If you are unsure – simply contact us or your nearest jewellery store for advice.
