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.

To say that's a "new low" is ignoring a lot of stuff or is the height of overreaction or both.

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

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 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.

I like it

I have no problem with the design. I think it looks better than the Broadmoor trophy and the Lamoriello Trophy.

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.

You were looking for...

Paul Bunyan with a hockey stick resting his foot atop a brown jug?

Isn't that pretty similar to what the other B1G conference championship trophies look like?

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is.

Call Katniss

Delaney designed this after watching the Hunger Games.  The prototype was called "District 6" in honor of the six founding members.

35 lbs...not bad.

Several of the alternatives or suggestions presented above are classic (in a non-classic/classy trophy kinda way).

I think it's fine. There

I think it's fine. There isn't some obscure set of unwritten aesthetic hockey rules that requires all trophies to look like the Stanley Cup. Frankly, a higher priority should be a trophy that a team is able to pass between players and skate around a rink with. Some trophies (that skating hockey player, for example) just aren't good for it.

Pop quiz: What does the NCAA hockey trophy look like? You know, the ultimate goal every year? Hint: It's not like the Stanley Cup.

What if they had made a trophy with a giant silver leaf on the back so poorly anchored that it actually flapped around when moved?

That would produce this:

 

Frankly, I appreciate that they're not pretending to have decades of tradition that don't exist. It's not insulting and it's not ugly. I'll take it.

That trophy looks good and you want a vintage trophy lol. You would be complaining in 20yrs if they tried to change it. New low, stop complaining all the time!

Compared to a lot of trophies out there

I'd say that's pretty darn good. It doesn't blow me away, but it's also not just a big Velveeta logo on a stand so that's a plus

I like it.  Sure, it may not be cup-like, but it looks fine to me.

It's not a day on MGoBlog unless someone finds something aesthetic to complain about (trophies, uniforms, etc.)

Actually

I like it. It's nothing overboard and it isn't the ugliest trophy out there. The six "blades" or whatever represent the six teams in the conference? Could be a hell of a lot worse

Could have been a lot worse.  Maybe a new trophy will be introduced in a few years once there is some tradition in the conference.

So basically what you're saying is Michigan needs to leave behind a 5-gallon plastic Powerade jug at the Xcel Center after we win the conference tournament...

Nothing wrong with that

Nothing wrong with that trophy at all.  It's stylish, and has a distinct look to it.  In 10 years it will also become iconic.  It's not like it's a fake lumber jack that someone called Paul.

Iowa corn's CyHawk trophy.

It's just boring & uninspired.  Which can be a good thing.

I think that trophy is only good for one thing: a promo from The Rock.
