What happens to trophies which are given out to winners in sports.
From what I can tell.
FIFA World Cup: Trophy is always with FIFA. Winner keeps a gold plated replica
ICC Cricket World Cup: Trophy is always with ICC. Winner gets a replica which is identical except for the fact that the winners name is engraved on it.
UEFA Champions League: Since 2009 same as the Cricket, but before 2009 trophy was returned after 6 months and club was permitted to make 80% replica.
Tennis: Original trophies for majors are always with the organising bodies. Winners take home smaller replicas; US Open gives same size replicas, but plated(?) replicas.
Golf: Masters jacket belongs to the winner. No idea about other majors.
In US Sports I think a new trophy of the same or similar pattern is cast for every year. (correct me here please US dopers).
In boxing don’t former Champions always keep their belts even after they lose the title? I think the new champion uses the ex-champions belt for the immdiet celebration and post fight interviews and then returns it; gets his own later.
Individual awards in team sports seem to be for keep.
Any others?
