In big league games, the players can be motivated as much by cash as by the trophies they win for their clubs. In smaller competitions, what matters for most players is winning trophies. Trophies are the mark of champions. Long after the event, it is the trophy that keeps memories alive. Schools organise rugby competitions for students. Local clubs organise competitions; and in each case, the team and the individual players are awarded trophies for outstanding performance.
Selecting the trophy
Rugby trophies range in shape and style from small to large; from simple to ornate and highly stylish. The Rugby World Cup is a trophy that teams dream of winning and it has a standout design. However, this does not mean every club should select a trophy that rivals the world cup trophy in design or choice of materials. There is no lack of choices when it comes to design.
One type that has remained popular down the ages is the two handled cup. This is suitable for medium to ...
... large sporting events but there is no rule that schools cannot adopt this motif for their inter-class competitions. Size may vary from small and medium to large and material is silver or bronze with silver plating. After all, it is the thought behind it that counts.
Another common motif that is largely popular is the representation of people. A famous player may be depicted holding the ball or in the act of throwing it. It certainly is a great motivator for young people to try and emulate outstanding players.
In recent times, a glass trophy is proving to be a popular choice. Glass does have an elegant and classy look. It is also contemporary whereas metal cups and shields may have a dated look to them. Glass is not as expensive as silver yet it can be a cherished object of the winning team. A gladiator glass trophy may be the perfect choice for clubs. It is priced right and looks wonderful.
Then there are other designs and styles one can select, such as a rugby twisted star column trophy, a curved plaque design or oval stars series design. Some clubs like the player and post motif while others may find a crystal swirl design more appealing. The design may be general or it may symbolise the motto of the school or club.
Size
Size relates to cost as well as the impression one wishes to convey. A team competing at championship level may expect a trophy that is large in size, sufficiently large enough so that a few team members can get their hands around it and it can show up well in photographs. Trophies given to individuals may be smaller in size as can trophies for school level competitions.
Cost
Cost is another factor to consider. A bespoke trophy may be quite expensive and has a unique look. However, there are so many other standard off the shelf options that are just as impressive in look and also cost only a fraction of what a custom trophy costs. For those on a budget, the standard designs are no less appealing and are quite affordable. Especially for schools and colleges that host a number of sports competitions, these are the most cost effective solution. Each trophy can be engraved and it may also have space to imprint the winning team’s name. When it comes to size, a 6 inch or 8 inch trophy is adequate for most purposes.
Sourcing it
Except when the occasion demands it, organisers can simply buy these trophies online in the size and design of their choice. Speed of delivery is important as also other considerations, such as the quality of construction and finish. After all, a trophy is meant to be shown off and must have exemplary finish. Specialists in trophy design and manufacturing keep a stock of wide selection and assure immediate dispatches. If an event is finalised at short notice then one can buy suitably engraved ones also from such online suppliers.
Giving the right trophy gives pleasure to the giver and the recipient team or individual cherishes it and will treasure it for life.
