[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 378391, member: 655"] And here I was always told Packer fans were the most knowledgeable in the league. Prior to the Lombardi trophy there was the AFL-NFL Championship trophy, which was given to the first 4 "Super Bowl" winners. It wasn't renamed until after Lombardi's death. Prior to that, and during the 4 years AFL-NFL trophy time frame, there was the NFL Championship trophy which was a traveling trophy. Named the "Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy". Teams were allowed to have copies made, but I don't know of any. I did not see any in the Packer hall of fame 3 weeks ago when I was there. This trophy was first given out in 1934. Prior to that there was the "Brunswich-Balke Collander Cup" given out until 1933. Both the Thorp and Brunswich trophy's are missing. For a photo of the Thorp Trophy: [URL="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PmvsWE1k-7w/TK4uLjgqltI/AAAAAAAABg0/6DBFF1nV2sI/s1600/edthorpe_blog.jpg&imgrefurl=http://czabe.blogspot.com/2010/10/lombardi-trophy-before-there-even-was.html&h=1245&w=467&sz=133&tbnid=SDl4savyw0RZPM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=34&prev=/search%3Fq%3DEd%2BThorp%2BMemorial%2BTrophy%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=Ed+Thorp+Memorial+Trophy&docid=GleHMbWZOO4REM&sa=X&ei=Dw5MTtWlOO6nsALJo8SmCw&ved=0CGUQ9QEwCA&dur=16"]Redirect Notice[/URL] I have never found a picture of the Brunswich Balke Cup Trophy. So the time frame goes like this: 1921-1933 Brunswich Balke Cup 1934-1969 Ed Thorp memorial Trophy - NFL Championship Trophy 1960-1969 AFL Championship Trophy (Don't know if it had a name.)
