Football trophies differ in that most football competition is in the province of males. While the all-familiar running back with outstretch hand figure is very popular, most football trophies utilize the ball itself in some form or other as the sports symbol. This can be a shaped from everything from precious metals to fine crystal.
Basketball being a tremendously active sport, the figure most often placed on the pinnacle of basketball trophies is a jumping shooting player. Indeed many sports trophies are opting to further create the illusion of a ball in motion by using holographic backgrounds on trophy figures. A newer effect is the basketball seemingly aimed into the stars. With players now leaping from the foul line to the basket should we expect no less from basketball trophies?
