Tiffany & Co. congratulates the Kansas City Chiefs on their momentous win at Super Bowl LVII, achieving one of the most prestigious awards in American sports, the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy, which symbolizes the pinnacle of football glory, was first crafted and designed by Tiffany & Co. for the inaugural Super Bowl I in 1967. In 1970, the trophy was renamed after the late coach of the Green Bay Packers, Lombardi, who had led his team to victory in the first two Super Bowls. Oscar Riedener, a former Vice President at Tiffany & Co., initially sketched the basic design of the trophy on a napkin during a 1966 meeting with then-NFL commissioner, Pete Rozelle. The design features a regulation-size football in kicking position.

Tiffany & Co.’s most talented artisans, who bring the trophy to life over the course of approximately four months (72 hours of labor), are entrusted with the design. These master craftspeople combine time-honored techniques with cutting-edge innovations, from spinning, silversmithing and chasing to hand engraving and polishing, to create the seven-pound, 22-inch sterling silver trophy. The Vince Lombardi Trophy, along with over 65 other trophies each year, is handcrafted by these artisans at Tiffany & Co.’s hollowware workshop in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Tiffany & Co. takes immense pride in creating this symbol of football greatness and extends sincere congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on their victory.
