I don't necessarily think standardization is a bad thing, i think generic design is the issue. The Finals logo has been standardized for years and it wasn't an issue. It's changing to a super plain "logo" that lacks character that is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was just reiterating what the mothership wrote about it being standardised across the entire league. I liked the old Finals logo, too.

The_Admiral Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The NBA Finals is the least prestigious final of the big four (World Series > Super Bowl > Stanley Cup > The Finals), but that script was always a good one. Typing in a Steelfish lookalike next to the league logo is no comparison. I'm relieved to know that the NBA can indeed get things categorically wrong sometimes since all anyone does nowadays is blow the NBA. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregading prestige for a moment, how would you rank the trophies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Lombardi and O'Brien are basically the same thing, aren't they? It just depends if you like gold or silver. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Honestly? In terms of sheer design?

Lombardi > Stanley Cup > Grey Cup > MLS Cup > O'Brien > Wiffleball Championship Runner-Up Trophy > Commissioner's Trophy > AFC/NFC Championship Trophies There’s no way the Lombardi Trophy tops that list. It’s literally a football impaled on a “caution: wet floor” sign. Both the Stanley Cup and the MLS Cup easily surpass it in design.

truepg Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have a hard time seeing how the Stanley Cup, MLS Cup or Grey Cup are better designs than the O'Brien trophy, since all the first mentioned are just different cup designs, whereas the latter is a unique, interesting and aesthetically pleasing trophy with an original, appropriate idea to the sport.

In terms of importance to a player's legacy, The Finals matter more than any other championship. In terms of meaningfulness to a team/city, I don't see how we could argue that the Super Bowl isn't the end all in American sports. In terms of historical value, the cup might be the one with the most "prestige." In terms of name value just for the contest itself, The Finals is the most generic for sure. As for the NBA comments, I think people blow the NBA based on the way they handle their personnel and manage the game itself compared to other leagues. The changes they made to the All-Star game were great, and I supported their decision to move the game from Charlotte in wake of that anti-LGBT bill. When it comes to design, there are LOTS of complaints that have been made for good reason. The loss of The Finals logo is a travesty. Nike's first year has meant a lot of muddled identities and chaotic uniform choices. And :censored:ing ads on jerseys UGH. EDIT: Big Four Trophy Rankings Lombardi: simple, elegant, can be grasped in one hand triumphantly O'Brien: easily the worst name but a cool-ass golden penis Commissioner's: love the look of it personally, but it doesn't really invoke baseball nor is it fun to hold Stanley Cup: it's cool and historic but ugly to me (TO BE FAIR, it's awesome to pick up a giant trophy like that over your head... ok maybe I'm not sure on my rankings...) ALSO, very much miss the crystal football from the BCS days, the Playoff trophy is kinda wack in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s like saying all jerseys are just different shirt designs... they’re all pretty much the same, right? It’s a genre of trophy, but that doesn’t mean they’re all the same. The Stanley Cup silhouette that they came up with in the 50s is a classic. If the Cup looked like this below, I don’t think it would be nearly as beloved: The O’Brien trophy is not unique; a bigger league in the same country does the same idea better. The base of the Lombardi trophy is shaped to meet the football and provides a good, solid connection. The O’Brien trophy’s basketball looks like it’s supposed to be tangent to the base, but it’s hard to build real things like that. It has an awkward little squib holding up the ball.

I appreciate a good abstract and/or modern trophy, I just don’t think the O’Brien is executed very elegantly in the form or the engraved detail. I also appreciate the understated nature of the cup trophies. The O’Brien and Lombardi trophies, in contrast, seem kinda obvious and forced.
