the old mls cup trophy weighed about 60 lbs. and the new mls cup trophy weighs 20 lbs. do i see a difference.... and here's a link to the real discription of the trophy http://www.mlsnet.com/content/99/mlscup0913trophy.html
How much did that thing cost to make? It looks like something someone might have created in a high school metal shop class.
Like el Jefe I'm prejudice and also think the supporter's shield is a great one. Very clean design. The photo posted here doesn't do justice. IIRC there is an acompanying plaque of original $$ contributors. The interview ommitted the original exchange of ideas took place on the old news group RSS. Damn if I can remember the handle on the Tampa fan though.
the supporters shield suck (the cup)... i can see bether cups in the store at the corner of my block!!!
