OHSAA State Trophy

[BirdDog10]

Sticking to the trend of literally every other decision they’ve made in the last 2 years, the new state championship trophy sucks.

The old one was absolutely perfect. Big, grand, classic, and you knew exactly what sport you were awarded it for by looking at the top.

The new trophy looks like a work anniversary plaque with a tiny football player slapped on the bottom

Everything about the OHSAA in the last 2 years sucks. That is all.

I like the new one better. Less likely to break.

I am more curious when the all ohio teams come out, or are they not doing that for some reason and I missed it.

Don’t they normally come out the week after the state championships?

Looks to me, too much a trophy for the organizing committee than the school, the state or the championship. Like the travel distance, kids don't care.

 

[Wildcat97]

As someone who has held those, give me the old one every day of the week. Not a more prolific ohsaa advertisement trophy that looks like my cyo trophy

Monday.

For fear of an outcry for singling out kids, every participating kid will be named to the all-Ohio team.

Trophy looks cool.

Easier to fit in the trophy case too.

The old one, a football player balancing on top of a cup? WTF? The new one is a lot classier, KISS.

The new one is an OHSAA advertisement piece with the sport slapped on as an afterthought

 

[EagleFan]

It is the OHSAA tournament

I like the new one and it should come with a shot glass of Pappy Van Winkle and and an ashtray with a half smoked Cohiba Maduro cigar

Starting to go the right direction of the trophy. Take the replica of the state of Ohio and make it bigger and have that be the trophy. See Indiana's trophy. One thing the IHSAA actually did right.

I do like the new one better as well.

TOo many fuddy duddies who cannot accept change!

 

[yj_runfan]

I like the state outline at the top but it’s kind of egotistical to put their name above everything else.

 

[PeterDragon]

I like the new trophy.

Massillon posters are totally confused by this threads title.
"What is this OHSAA State Trophy they speak of??"

I wouldn't turn down any state title on account of the aesthetics of the trophy. However, that PIAA trophy looks like a cheap knock-off of the national title trophies the NCAA awards.

the point you're making is it's a copy of what everyone else is doing makes it better?

Without trying to seem I'm making a statement against OHSAA, that trophy would be a whole lot better saying off everything above "State Champion." No one is playing to be champion of OHSAA. They're playing to be champion of Ohio.

It basically is. The old trophy looked more like the wv trophy. They wanted to simplify and standardize the trophies. Now all sports get the same basic trophy.

Nah. Just showing other states. No one really goes all out considering they hand out dozens each year.

Mass fans like. ..what ..the titles aren't made of paper¿

Don’t forget the winning team also gets chocolate milk with that trophy.

Anyone who has ever won a title will tell ya the actual hardware means nothing, it's the pride and memory that lasts forever.

The chocolate milk is a nice touch

Only the winning team? Even the sponsors have cut back.

A few years ago at the state track meet, there were refrigerated/insulated cylindrical containers like you'd find at the head of the grocery checkout full of chocolate milk, and people were handing out bottles to all spectators before they entered the gates. It was comical in that no outside food or drink was permitted inside the stadium, so you either had to discard it in the trash barrel or chug it down before passing the Redcoats.
