THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY

The College Football Playoff National Championship
Trophy is the ultimate goal of college football teams
across the United States. It will be presented on-field
to the winner of the College Football Playoff National
Championship on January 12, 2015.

An ascending virtual football, the trophy’s handcrafted
gold brackets surround a hardened steel core. The
trophy was created to be raised in celebration of the
highest level of team achievement in college football.
Designed by Pentagram, the trophy was commissioned
for the new playoff era. The design features a focused
football at the center of the base that rises to form
an actual-size ball. Standing at a total height of three
feet, the trophy and base are two integral but separate
pieces, so the trophy may be lifted up independently
when it is awarded at the championship game.

The trophy is handcrafted by the master fine art
foundry Polich Tallix. Expert craftsmen worked for
three months, combining cutting edge technologies
with timeless metal casting and finishing techniques to
create the trophy.

Handmade from 24k gold, bronze, and stainless steel,
the trophy is 26.5 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds.
The base is formed from bronze with a heat-applied and
hand-rubbed black patina finish, and is 12 inches high,
weighing 30 pounds. When inserted into the base, the
full trophy weight reaches 65 pounds.

Like most modern trophies, it's OK, but nothing special. The crystal football was legitimately a very neat design and it's sad to see it go.

Not as good as the crystal FB

BORING. I hope they will have the year of the championship as well as it is lacking such in this image.

Should have kept the Crystal Ball...

As I understand it, the Crystal Ball remains. The AFCA will continue to award it. What has ended is the official relationship between the AFCA and the BCS/NCG. I suspect the trophy will now be awarded at a separate ceremony after the Tv coverage has concluded, or possibly the next day, like the AP trophy, Grantland Rice Trophy and MacArthur Bowl.

They didn't want to have to pay $50,000 for the crystal any more.

nor the schools after having a recruit drop it or a players father stumble into it.

It's just as sterile, cold, and unimaginative as the rest of corporate America and their government hacks. We move from a sparkling crystal football to a gilded proctologist's instrument. Congratulations you're the national champion! So now you can raise your trophy and say, "Up yours!" to the vanquished.

Did Georgia O'Keefe design it?
