Football Trophies
Football trophies generally fall into two categories: team and individual. The most famous team award is the Vince Lombardi Trophy, of course. Other well-known team trophies, given out at the end of each season, are the Lamar Hunt Trophy, George Halas Trophy, Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy and the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup. These trophies can be considered “travelling” trophies, as they are passed over to the most recent winner at the end of each season and have no permanent homes.

All kinds of lore surround these nationally acclaimed trophies, replete with stories of disappearances, rediscoveries and bad luck curses, as in the case of the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy which went missing when in possession of the Minnesota Vikings from 1969 until 2015. It is said that the ghost of Ed Thorp placed a curse on the Vikings, accounting for a long string of Super Bowl and NFC Championship losses.
While T&P Shack can’t claim to have created any of these, we certainly do make hundreds of team football trophies and individual football trophies each season. Most of which do not travel, but get to be enjoyed forever by one team or individual forever.
Individual Football Trophies
The sport of football offers ample opportunities to call out exceptional players and performances – including coches – which are reflected in the number and diversity of individual football trophy categories. Here are just a few of the more commonly awarded individual football award trophies:

Custom Football Awards
Custom football awards and trophies, as in almost all else T&P Shack makes, are only constrained by one’s imagination. Whether you are looking for a freestanding, cast bronze trophy of a runner in the open field, an engraved football medallion, a medal with a colorful mylar appliqué, or a traditional football topper mounted on a round or oval column with a solid base – we can do it all. Even the columns can be decorated with images of footballs or stadiums.
Bronze, resin, crystal, acrylic are just some of the materials used in creating customized football trophies. The shapes can range from standalone football action figures, to cups, footballs on stands, football medals and aspirational figures such as flames, electricity, lightning, team mascots and more.
Whether it’s to recognize the contribution of a lineman, a kicker, quarterback, receiver, special teams player or the coach – a custom football award is available from the Trophy & Plaque Shack.
Fantasy Football Trophy
And let’s not forget those armchair or game console fans who are into fantasy football league awards! Fantasy football has its own category of trophies. Highly-detailed fantasy football resin trophies can really bring out the competitive spirit of those aspiring to be at the top of their league.
Football Team Jerseys & Apparel
Teams clearly love to recognize the best of the best – whether players, coaches or supporters.
Something that teams (and fans/supporters of those teams) often need are hats, hoodies, t-shirts. keychains, water bottles and more – all customized with the team’s logo or mascot. Oftentimes the success of boosters and fundraisers can be enhanced by offering uniquely customized football awards and apparel to those who donate at different levels.
