    Handmade from 24-karat gold, bronze and stainless steel, the trophy is 26.5 inches tall. The base is formed from bronze with a heat-applied and hand-rubbed black patina finish, and is 12 inches high, weighing 30 pounds. Total weight of trophy and base is approximately 65 pounds.

    Hancock called the trophy "a substantial piece of art."    ​

    I think its ugly.

    Looks like a refashioned Lombardi Trophy. At least that is what it reminds me of. Not original.

    Somebody got paid a lot of money to design that. He must have spent the money on crack before he designed it.

    Yes, it is ugly. And yes, its does inspire all the jokes about it. But I would love to see it in LSU's trophy case.
