Six skate blades
With room for 8-14 more. The 20 blade version would be pretty sweet. But I think it needs a puck on top on which to inscribe a block M.

It's a trophy. I'm not sure what you expected. If this is a new low, you must not have hated the division names nearly as much as everybody else.

don't mind it too much, just seems like an average trophy. Though as a hockey trophy I would have liked it to be more "cup" like if that makes sense.

A few pieces of metal on wood with a hockey puck split in half. Doesnt look to bad to me.

Trophy Designer had
a few avant-garde bottle openers left from a pabst project - seemed like a good time to use them up.

Um...
...if that is a new low...you have incredibly high standards. It is not exactly Lord Stanley's Cup...but it's fine.

To say that's a "new low" is ignoring a lot of stuff or is the height of overreaction or both.
March 11th, 2013 at 12:24 PM
#24
Meh,
it's just a trophy, and since it is a new conference, they cannot have a traditional one...You have to start somewhere.

The thing is
30" tall and 35lbs. That's still gonna feel like a cup when it's hoisted.

What is that "thing" called.....The Ron Jeremy Memorial Pipe. Is she licking the damn thing? Maybe a clip from an adult version of Happy Gilmore

The way she has her eyes closed only deepens the effect
or lengthens if you prefer.

I too would have liked more of a cup design but they were obviously going for modern/avant-garde. It's OK...but would look a lot better with a guy in a maize & blue sweater holding/lifting it

Actually I think that's a pretty sweet trophy, be happy there's not a giant Dr. Pepper logo on it.

Worse still:
Modern trophies are going avant garde or trying to incorporate some of the aspects of the school or conference into things. It's not bad. The Tol//BGSU trophy is fantastic.

I think we're all still
I think we're all still stinging a bit from yesterday and feeling a little bitchy, because calling this not-so-bad trophy design a "new low" is a stretch. It's definately more modern than classic in design, but it's not horrible from an aesthetics perspective.

Oh come on, there's nothing
Oh come on, there's nothing wrong with that. At least they're not trying to pretend it's some timeless, classic showpiece. It's a trophy. It has to look like something.
"New low" status as far as the conference is concerned has to somehow be worse than Maryland and Rutgers. This ain't it.

It's fine. It's not great, but it's better than a piece of wood with a plaque on it, which is what most NCAA trophies are.
