The Lombardi Trophy

Silver or Gold?

Silver or gold? This is one for the ages. Some females prefer their jewelry set in silver, while others, gold. Personally I prefer Tiffany sterling silver.

Why Tiffany

NFL Coaches call her by their pet name, Tiffany. Officially everyone knows her better by her last name, Lombardi. Easily explained, this nickname stems from the fact that the luxury 5th Avenue Jeweler Tiffany and Co. is responsible for the creation of the Vince Lombardi trophy, a $25,000, 22 inch, 7 pound, beauty, every coach and every player of the NFL over the 24-week season of pre-season games, regulation games, playoffs and the Super Bowl 46 strive to win her hand.

The Day I Touched Tiffany

I may be a female but I have a passion for Football that is equal to or even greater than most men. Recently I was lucky enough to meet up with Tiffany, thanks to the magic of Facebook, a former boy interest from my long ago college days invited me to a NBC sports event shoot. I spent one of the best days with my old friend. Little did I know my old friend had turned into one of the NFL's most indispensable broadcasting talents, in my eyes a football god. Lucky me, I was treated to a day watching the pros shoot the intro for the NBC Super Bowl 46 version with Faith Hill as she struts her stuff singing 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night'. It was a day full of excitement and pure joy. Though the making of this 2 minute intro can be monotonous there wasnt one minute that I was bored.

A Football God

Seeing my old friend was special in and of itself. My friend has become one of best producers in the game of football. I like to call him my football god. Producing Super Bowl XLVI and every week of Sunday night Football on NBC sports qualifies him as such. Forget that he knows more about the game than anyone I have ever met, it is his passion that shines through every minute you are in his presence. And so on the day I met up with him, I was treated to many things and one of the highlights was that I was in the presence of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. And let me tell you, seeing Tiffany was just as amazing as one could imagine. Bottom line it was as good as being being touched by an old friend, A feeling that was warming and sparked delicious memories.

Tiffany the Trophy

During a scene shoot, I caught a glimpse of her, Tiffany. I thought the trophy must be a Hollywood prop of magic. So when a stagehand told me me that I was looking at the real deal, my body tingled with delight. A shiver ran down my spine, as my reflection beamed from her elegant curves.
And then she invited me to touch her. She felt good beneath my hand. Diamonds? Gold? Tiffany sterling silver remains my first choice in jewelry. What would you expect from a hard core NFL football fan like me?

Final Thoughts on Tiffany

Yes,I was one of a privileged few who had touched Tiffany, Forget your diamond rings or your fancy jewelry this is the only item from Tiffany's that would do for a girl like me.

Ive got my fingers crossed right now that the Giants win the super bowl Shari so its kind of hard to type punctuation and quote marks.

What a thrill that must have been to actually touch old Tiffany. Good for you.

That is pretty cool. There is so much history behind that iconic trophy. I'm not sure if there is a better known trophy in the US. Do you think more people recognize it or the Heisman Trophy? Non football fans probably think of the Oscar or Nobel Peace Prize as the best known trophy in the US.

Paul - you know I have often asked some of my friends from around the world (and it always amazes me) both sports fans and non sports fans IF they all know about the Super Bowl. Most do and they seem to think we are crazy Americans when they see the loyalty football fans have to their teams. Im not so sure that they know that the winning team takes home the Lombardi trophy though! Up until this day I didnt even know she had the nickname Tiffany . .ah you live and learn as they say. IMHO probably the Nobel Peace Prize is most recognized around the world!

Sorry my Giants took your 49ners place in the SB46 but your guys came a long way this year and with Harbaugh coaching I wont be surprised to see them in Super Bowl 47!

I loved this hub...sterling is also my favorite. I like gold-- what woman doesn't -- but there is something about exquisite sterling that catches and keeps my fancy. I’m a Bostonian, so my heart is with the Pats on Sunday. :-)

I was thinking... who is this lady called Tiffany? Lol.

Lovely to read and I am pleased you had the experience. Fab day. I bet you have loads of autographs. It's so nice to have a passion for something outside work.

Hope you see Tiffany again soon. :-)
