With the Super Bowl happening today, let’s do a history dive into the greatest trophy in the history of sports — the Lombardi Trophy 🏆 Originally called the World Professional Football Championship Trophy, The Lombardi Trophy was renamed for former Green Bay Packers’ coach Vince Lombardi in 1970. Lombardi suddenly passed away from cancer that year, and the trophy was renamed as a memorial to him. The Packers’ head coach won the first two Super Bowls and five NFL titles. Over his coaching career, Lombardi boasted a 9-1 post season win percentage. The trophy is made by famed jewelry company, Tiffany & Co. Valued at a whopping $50,000, the trophy is made of sterling silver. The Lombardi Trophy weighs about seven pounds and is about 20 inches high. When he threw the Lombardi Trophy into the East River, Randy Moss confirmed for fans that the trophy floats. #nflfootball #superbowl #superbowsunday #lombarditrophy
