Super Bowl trophy & rings by the numbers
Immediately following a Super Bowl victory, NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue presents the winning team with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
“Sometimes it is slightly damaged during the celebration,” says Ed Wawryneck, vice president of Tiffany & Co., the trophy’s manufacturer. “We always have an extra in case a catastrophe occurs, but so far nothing major has ever happened.”
A trophy is then returned to Tiffany & Co. for any repairs and the engraving of the team names and the final score onto the base. It then goes back to the team for permanent possession. The particulars of the Vince Lombardi Trophy:
