Multiple trophy designs

[edit]

Looks like this was not the original design of the trophy:

  • 1958 [1]
  • 1970-71 [2]
  • 1997 [3]
  • 2003 [4], 2006 [5] (photo 8 of 33)
  • 2021 [6] - is the one in the article even the current design?

Raises the question of the current trophy's provenance. Woodshed (talk) 08:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
