xxjdm66 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The Uncle Phil Cup Major League Soccer unveiled its new MLS Cup trophy at a ceremony in New York City on Wednesday morning. The Tiffany-designed trophy has been named in honor of Los Angeles Galaxy owner Phil Anschutz and will be presented to the winner of MLS Cup on Nov. 23.It looks better than the last trophy, which wasn't a cup. Now we havw a cup.http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives...ls-cup-tro.html Redskin IS a racist term, no matter how Daniel Snyder tries to spin it.

-kj Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok, so it's a cup now, and it's kinda cool-looking.But... what dfwabel said. Make up your mind already. I thought the previous version was unique and looked pretty damned cool, even if it wasn't technically a cup.And I hate that they renamed the trophy. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

DEAD! Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It does look nice. Much better than the deformed pawn that they had. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the previous version was unique and looked pretty damned cool, even if it wasn't technically a cup.And I hate that they renamed the trophy.I forgot about the renaming, too. Poor Alan R. But if I recall correctly, both previous cups/trohpies resembled other ones.The initial version looked like the very first WLAF trophy as it had "handles" and a removeable centerpiece.The current version looks too much like the WNBAs.

I thought the previous version was unique and looked pretty damned cool, even if it wasn't technically a cup.And I hate that they renamed the trophy.I'm with you on both accounts Mockba.This just feels like another example of MLS over-thinking the concept mixing European and American sporting traditions. Having this grandiose, big-eared cup to hold up at the climax of a season is a European soccer tradition, just like naming a trophy after a league patriarch is an American sports tradition.

BrySmalls Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I may be in the small minority but I like (not love) the new trophy, but reading the article makes me wonder how they are overly-thinking about their sport and league:The Philip F. Anschutz championship trophy is 24" tall with an additional seamless base of 4 5/8". The trophy features fluid and dynamic handles that include 11 facets on the front and back, symbolizing the 22 players that participate in a soccer match. The gold star represents the championship club, which often incorporates a star into its team crest for each MLS Cup title it wins. The new trophy inherits select design elements from the previous two trophies, thereby honoring the League's history while moving forward. The bottom of the Philip F. Anschutz trophy features a map of North America, with a star identifying the location of each MLS market.Furthermore, they'll have to update the map after Seattle, Philly, and the additional 2 clubs are added.

-kj Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 MLB has had to redo their trophy with the addition of teams, so I don't see it as being that strange. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Saturn Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I LOVE this trophy. I like how they made it big as well as adding all the small details. Only thing thats a downgrade is renaming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Upgade IMO. Looks like a legit championship cup.

O_Town_Clown Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 So, it's safe to assume that they'll be changing the scudetto too since the old one featured the trophy.You can kind of see it in this picture. Sig by TalktoChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Frankly I think it looks like a gigantic hunk of , and the fact that Rothenberg's name isn't on it - with his consent or not - is a slap in the face to the man who made MLS possible. FAIL all the way, MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
