The Lombardi Trophy is presented to the Super Bowl Champion each year. It's a silver trophy with a regulation-sized silver football mounted in a kicking position on a pyramidal stand consisting of three concave sides. Tiffany & Company has produced the trophy since it was designed in 1967 for the first NFL-AFL Championship game.

According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in January 1971, in the lead-up to Super Bowl V, the trophy was named after the late legendary football coach, Vincent “Vince” T. Lombardi, who died in the summer of 1970. Lombardi,  who is still considered by many to be the greatest football coach of all time (with due respect to Bill Bellichik) even a half-century after his death, is revered because of his character as much, or more, than his coaching ability.
