USF vs UCF trophy
In this thread, I am hoping to attempt the very first civil discussion between our two groups. Its really come to a point that I think the entire nation knows our two campuses do not like each other at all, which makes the fact that our 6 game series not having a trophy a total travesty.
There have been a few who have thrown out ideas but as of yet, I haven't heard anything that I think our fan bases could actually get behind.
I only ask one thing in this thread... and I too will follow it 100%. Lets let the normal rhetoric go and really focus on something that hopefully we can send to other message boards and hopefully school leaders to get this done.
If were all honest with ourselves, the chances that either of us going anywhere anytime soon is probably very slim, so why not get this design knocked out for next year.
If anybody has photochop skills that they would like to donate to help make the design, it would be greatly appreciated. I can do some stuff in it but I am far from a pro.
Let the ideas flow... and again, I will and I hope all will keep this civil to try to get something done that I think both fanbases will enjoy.

RE: USF vs UCF trophy
I was thinking about similarities that we could include.
1. I-4 (yes, the phrase "war on I-4" has been trademarked but it doesnt mean it cant be included.
2. Green and Gold... Gold and Black. I was thinking in some way the trophy could be split with Green an Black on either side with Gold down the middle.
3. Not a similarity, but do we want to include our mascots? A Bull on one side and a Knight on the other?
4. Could we make it modular? So that the winning Mascot is moved on the trophy to a prominent position over the other?

I can hardly tell UCF and USF apart tbh. Similar to how I can hardly tell FAU and FIU apart.

I-4 definitely has to be in there... a Bull on the left, a Knight on the right sitting on a chunk of asphalt, left half green, stripe of Gold up the middle and then Black on the left.... but what do we use to wrap it together. Some type of arch over the top or ????

It's easy really, UCF is in Orlando and is the team you've only beaten once in the history of your program. The other school is in Tampa.

UCF is the one who leaves an "L" on your schedule annually.

Just show the "Girls of UCF and USF" and the rest we don't really care about.

RE: USF vs UCF trophy
This is REALLY rough, but kinda the direction I was thinking. Something fairly simple.
What Id like to see is the I-4 sign made out of crystal and wrapped around the base a little. Then have the symbol and I-4 portion etched into the crystal. Also the colors need adjusting and more then likely some sort of pain on the asphalt to make it look more like a road.
Any ideas would be good... except for the girls of both schools. They all come from Florida for the most part and all are pretty hot.

A construction sign is our state symbol!
I am working on a slightly revised version. Wish I knew how to make etched glass in photoshop but thats beyond me.

The phrase "The War on I-4" is NOT trademarked according to the USPTO and it never has been, either. The phrase "The I-4 War" was trademarked, but it expired in July.

I'd rather see that golden shovel that USF brought in 2008 and used to dig up a chunk of our turf be the trophy. Maybe paint the I-4 shield into the blade of the shovel.

Golden Shovel trophy!
In 2008, Leavitt's team brought a Golden Shovel to "dig out" the UCF Endzone in the new stadium.

That should be easy for you, UCF is the team that always wrecks UH championship dreams.

RE: USF vs UCF trophy
I disagree that the entire nation knows about the UCF/USF hatred for each other. Most are minimally aware of the rivalry IMO. Maybe that will change one day. But, all rivalries should have something to fight for and I applaud your efforts!
