walby2 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Rivalry trophies don't seem to be very common in Canada but there is the mighty Banjo Bowl trophy, contested each year between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders:Just so there is no doubt where my personal allegiances lie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Probably one of the oldest rivalry trophies in the world. The Calcutta cup. Contested for by England and Scotland's rugby teams since 1873.And perhaps one of the more bizarre. The rag doll awarded to the winner of the annual preseason game between Bath and Llanelli Rugby clubs. It is hung from the goal posts for the duration of the game and wears the colours of the team that currently holds it.There is also one last odd one. Im not sure it actually exists, it may just be notional, but the team that finishes bottom of the 6 Nations rugby tournament (England, Scotland, France, Italy, Ireland and Wales) is said to hold the 'Wooden Spoon'.

Gothamite Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Platypus trophy presented to the winner of the Civil War (OSU vs. UO) was lost in the 60's and found in 2005 and is now given to the winning school's alumni association.Would love to see a modern update and get it on the field during the games so the players can celebrate with it.As would I: the platypus is an inspired choice.

Max Power Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 One of my favorite elements of college football is the rivalry trophy. Unfortunately, these days my team, Northwestern, only has the Land of Lincoln trophy and it's pretty awful. They definitely should have made it a hat that could be worn, like that Texas/Oklahoma hat. The LOL trophy's predecessor, the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk was good, not great. Before the tomahawk they used a cigar store indian. That's probably my favorite version of the rivalry's trophy.Northwestern did play Notre Dame for a shillelagh from the 1930's to the 1970's. That shillelagh pre-dated the ones ND plays for against both Purdue and USC. It's been lost to history though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCutt Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 My favorite is rather unknown these days, because it has not been given out in almost 18 years. The winner of the Tennessee-Kentucky football game used to go home with the Ol' Beer Barrel, a wooden beer barrel painted with both schools colors and the scores from every year dating back to 1925, the first year of the barrel. Sadly, two UK players died in an alcohol-related car crash a week before the '98 game, the two schools agreed to end the tradition, and the barrel has remained somewhere unknown at Tennessee ever since. I believe in Auburn and love it! @RealTCutt Colossians 3:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the kind of thing that I think a stuffy stuck-up administrator at one of the two schools would probably try to stop because it started out as a joke.
