UEFA wanted to improve on the quality but also the scale of the trophy, in order to have a focal point for the event — it was felt the original trophy was too small to do this.

The Italian Cup has been through many changes since it was first contested in , with the current incarnation resembling a large, chunky, gold-tinted goblet, studded with the colours of the Italian flag.
In all honesty, it looks like something your players might pick up in a cut scene at the end of a successful Pro Evolution Soccer master league campaign. It's hard to avoid the parallels between the Conference League being a cut-price version of the Europa League when the trophy looks like a cut-price version itself.
It may be hexagonal rather than octagonal, but the basic design is very similar and it doesn't help that it's just a little bit smaller, a little bit lighter, a little bit plainer, and all together just a little bit less impressive all around. One of several Spanish trophies created by the famed Federico Alegre jewellers of Madrid, the Spanish Supercopa is a squat yet ornate trophy that always bears the club crests of the four sides competing in that year's midseason mini-tournament upon its wooden pedestal.
Unlike many competitions, the winners of the Supercopa are allowed to take possession of the cup as soon as they win it and even take it home with them on the night should they wish. The Serie A trophy is a tall, funnel-shaped piece of metalwork that resembles the kind of gaudy uplighter lamp you might find in the lobby of cruise ship. It's a common misconception that the trophy is nicknamed the " Scudetto " "Little Shield" , which is actually a reference to the small shield-shaped badge that title-winning clubs have worn on their shirts since the early s.
The original European Super Cup circa certainly lived up to its billing by being genuinely enormous with huge circular handles.
Since then, the silverware decreased dramatically in size before being given a sleek and modern makeover, featuring a silver chalice cupped by a marble base plate bearing the UEFA marque. Having shrunk down to just 40cm and 5kg in its previous incarnation the smallest and lightest of all UEFA trophies at the time , the design was retained but the size increased in , whereby the trophy swelled to a brawny 58cm and 12kg, in-keeping with the increased prestige afforded to the game.
On the large side and therefore slightly unwieldly once hoisted above the head, the Community Shield is traditionally the first piece of silverware on offer for English teams every year, when the reigning league champions take on the holders of the FA Cup on the Sunday before the next season begins. However, Jose Mourinho is the pretty much the only manager to seriously count it among his trophy haul come the end of the season.
The trophy has undergone several re-casts since but the basic design remains the same, with the current shield measuring almost 60 centimetres in diameter and taking roughly man hours to hand-craft. Aston Villa lifted the inaugural League Cup trophy in and more than 50 years later that same piece of silverware is still in use. There have been periods when the trophy was replaced e. The Coupe de France is a very quaint, old-fashioned and traditional trophy, with a small angelic cherub riding atop a twin-handled silver vase.
Like something you might spot on a high shelf in the bar at your local amateur cricket club. There have been five Copa Del Rey trophies used since the competition began in but the current cup is another Alegre design made entirely of silver. It weighs roughly 15kg, stands 70cm tall including the base, and is made distinguishable by its lovely angular, Art Deco style handles. After Sevilla were allowed to keep the old cup in , a brand new Copa was introduced for the competition -- only for Sergio Ramos , Real Madrid 's team captain, to accidentally drop it underneath the team bus during the victory parade.
The cup was replaced and then repaired before being put on show in Real's club museum, but the dents caused by Ramos' butterfingers can still be clearly seen. The German Cup is 52cm tall and weighs a little over 6kg. More importantly, around 8 litres of liquid -- for example, Bavarian lager -- can be contained within its bowl, allowing for lively celebratory libations. The trophy is made from gold-plated silver and contains 42 semi-precious gems, including a large green nephrite engraved with the DFB logo at the centre.
The Europa League trophy is the heaviest of all the UEFA silverware, weighing in at a hefty 15kg despite having no handles. More Info: www. Test your knowledge.
