The Evolution of Basketball Trophies
Remember the days when all you got for winning that intense tournament were dinky basketball medals?
Well, boring now you can say goodbye to boring basketball awards!
Basketball trophies have come a long way! I’m talking about trophies that have bobbleheads, spinning sports balls and movable arms and legs!
Can’t decide which image or design to use for your basketball team? Let them choose! Use a different image insert for each medal! Use a different saying or logo on each trophy! Not one has to be alike!
Want to go with a more formal approach? Get basketball plaques! You can engrave anything you want on them or even insert a photo of your basketball team. Either way, a basketball plaque mounted on a wall is sure to create memories that will last for generations.
Going along with a classy theme, you can get acrylic basketball awards, glass basketball awards and crystal basketball awards. The crystal awards feature a basketball player lasered inside to create an interesting unique 3-D look.
Maybe you don’t want to make a big deal out of a win or even a loss! So you can opt for basketball pins, basketball pins, basketball ribbons, or basketball certificates. This way nobody is forgotten and everyone will have a little souvenir of from the good times or the bad times!
So remember, you shouldn’t have to feel obligated to get basketball trophies & awards for your team, but rather, you should want to! Designing and building a basketball trophy has never been more fun!

Trophy Atrophy
These Days Everyone Is A Winner

They’re the first things you see when you enter my son’s room, and the only things he packed when a wildfire neared our home.
They’re 10 golden, gleaming trophies, each touting him as a “winner” at T-ball, soccer, basketball. The most recent is a pewter mega-monument he earned playing football—on a team that lost every game by about 30 points.
While certainly a winner in my book, the kid has never once been on a championship team. Or even a mediocre one. Still, he has received more trophies than birthday cakes in his life. And he’s not alone.
Mini-athletes get trophies these days just for showing up. They’re de rigeur, as much a part of kids’ sports now as Gatorade and ghastly, costly team photos. At the end-of-season pizza party (also a given), every team member gets a sizable statuette on an engraved pedestal. Play-off teams probably get bigger ones; ahem, I, wouldn’t know.
“Claire got a soccer trophy even though she sat on her fanny and cried through every practice,” says a mom I know. (more…)

Trophy news from Taunton, MA…..
Trophy life

Trophies are treasured prizes — whether bestowed on professional athletes who have just helped their team win a national championship or presented to a youth soccer player who showed up for every game and played his heart out. Corporate executives and third-grade spelling bee winners alike gratefully receive these awards and proudly display them in their offices or bedrooms at home.
“People like to be recognized for their accomplishments, what they’ve done in the workplace or on the playing field and other avenues,” says Jay Stelmach, the maker of monuments and owner of Colonial Trophy in Lakeville.
The family owned and operated business first opened in Taunton in 1955 and has been at its current location next to Mucky’s Liquors on Route 44 since 1968.
Stelmach offers a huge selection of trophies, plaques, medals and other commemorative items for a vast variety of sports and activities. Trophies for every major sport are available and if it’s not, Stelmach takes special orders.
“I had a guy today pick up 15 cricket trophies for his cricket club, and we’ve done trophies for a chicken show, pigeon racing, stuff like that,” he says. (more…)

Trophy News from Bloomberg, New York, NY
May 5 (Bloomberg) — Dressed in business garb on a steamy summer afternoon in the Hamptons, Philip Schwalb and Sameer Ahuja pitched their concept of a sports museum for the financial district in New York City to swimsuit-clad investors at the Surf Club of Quogue.
“We had absolutely no idea that we would be out at the beach and certainly were not dressed at all appropriately for it,” said Ahuja of that day in 2003 on New York’s Long Island. “It was a surreal experience.”
The $7 million in seed capital the pair raised from their beachfront pitch grew to $100 million in three years and gave birth to the 45,000-square-foot Sports Museum of America opening May 7 in John D. Rockefeller’s former Standard Oil Building, steps from the Charging Bull statue in Bowling Green Park near Wall Street.
In addition to individual investors’ cash, the museum is backed by $52 million in Liberty Bonds, the tax-exempt financing program created to foster economic development after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack that destroyed the World Trade Center.
The museum, which will charge $27 for admission, is designed as a tourist attraction in a neighborhood still on the mend.
“People come down here and can see something tangible that we’ve created for lower Manhattan,” said Ahuja, 33, the for- profit museum’s chief financial officer. He predicted the site will attract 1 million visitors annually. “We stand as one of the significant tourism improvements and that’s really important.”
Brandi’s Bra
The Sports Museum’s 19 galleries display the American flag that was draped around Olympic hockey goaltender Jim Craig after the U.S. won the gold medal in 1980 and the sports bra that California soccer player Brandi Chastain bared after her penalty kick led the U.S. to victory over China in the 1999 Women’s World Cup final.
College football’s Heisman Trophy and its annual award ceremony will now be based at the museum. It is also the home of the Billie Jean King International Women’s Sports Center, the only Hall of Fame dedicated to females.
