The Super Bowl LVIII game is all set to be played on the 11th of February. The biggest NFL clash of the season will see the NFC Champions San Francisco 49ers fight it out against the AFC Champions, Kansas City Chiefs.
The Super Bowl clash concludes an NFL season and is a perfect way to bid goodbye to the exhilarating football season in the country. The winning team in a Super Bowl becomes the recipient of one of the most iconic trophies in the sporting world, known as the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy was previously known as the World Professional Football Championship trophy. It was later named after the former Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi, who tragically passed away due to cancer. He had held the distinction of leading the Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowl games in 1967 and 1968.
Vince Lombardi Trophy worth
The NFL is currently the richest sporting league in the World with a whopping $163 billion dollars in estimated valuation. However, the monetary value associated with the Lombardi Trophy might come as a real shock to many.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy is valued at only a mere $10,000. The monetary value on its own can be considered pretty low, especially if it is compared to the revenue valuation and the overall riches associated with the cash-rich league.
However, the trophy costs an estimated $50,000 to manufacture from the best sterling silver per SN.
What the Lombardi trophy might lack in terms of its value, it more than makes up for it in the prestige and pride associated with winning the trophy.
Every football player dreams of winning the Super Bowl trophy at least once in his career, and the value, therefore, becomes irrelevant. The popular saying -‘Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,’ could not be more aptly justified from a footballing point of view.
