Worst Looking Trophy in Sports

Golf has had a few bad ones

Cristie Kerr kissed this one about 20 yrs ago

Trophee Lancome used to be a fairly prestigious tournament in France with a naked male torso

But this “butt ugly” trophy was given out to a Senior Tour based in Europe this week

How about some pictures of really bad trophies

The “Ashes” urn is a pretty dismal little terracotta pot that has seen better days and has paper labels stuck on it.

It is rather too fragile to actually be presented these days so they use replicas for the modern presentations.

So, not aesthetically pleasing, but certainly a significant tophy.

1993 Formula 1 trophy from Donnington.

Yes, that’s right. The worlds premiere motorsport series handed out Sonic the Hedgehog trophies.

Oh My God, I remember that. F1 has some pretty fugly trophies, but that takes the Grand Prix!

I forget which circuit it is, but one of the trophies is just a large round ‘thing’. Maybe suitable for serving a roast use as a cymbal on your drum kit.

5

Are you thinking of Australia’s? It’s actually a big steering wheel, sorta.

French Grand Prix is pretty stupid too.

Don’t forget the Gorilla at Paul Ricard.

First I wondered if the gorilla trophy actually changed colors, it is actually white, red or three colored depending if one wins third, second or first place.

Last year it was white. This year was tricolor, if I remember correctly…

Edit, the more I think about it, the less sure I am. And too lazy to look it up.

Looked again, you seem to be correct. Still very ugly. :slight_smile:

11

The Floyd of Rosedale trophy for the Iowa-Minnesota college football rivalry is quite amusing.

12

TheBayou Bucket that University of Houston and Rice University play each other every year for (football) is kind of ugly, being a brass bucket. The DFW equivalent between SMU and TCU, theIron Skillet is possibly uglier.

There are some other contenders here… Not sure if the Platypus Trophy is hideous or super-cool.

13

I don’t want to come over all “get off my lawn” here, but I think a different standard needs to be applied when considering student trophies. I mean kids are…with the best will in the world…fucking idiots.

14

Yeah that looks like a metal snake curled around a wrinkly butt.

15

I’ve always found the World Cup trophy to be a bit of a acquired taste.

16

I always thought the NCAA BCS football championship trophy looked like something they bought at one of those horrible shopping mall crystal stores:

For the biggest trophy in sports you’d think it would be…bigger. Same with the NFL Lombardi Trophy.

If you are the biggest sporting award in the world you don’t have to try so hard.

I think the original world cup was even nicer. Understated, elegant.

19

Back in the 1930s the Stanley Cup used to be fugly. It was the late 1940s, IIRC, when Stanley got its iconic look.

Not in sports. But the British SF Association Awards look like somebody made them in their workshop the day before the ceremony.
