I’m a huge football fan but Jason is right
Yeah I knew he was gonna say that as soon as he asked. I’ve never even watched a game of hockey in my life but yeah it’s such a cool concept. I like the NBA’s too but nothing tops the Stanley Cup
Thanks for liking our trophy.
Question: Why do some football fans insist on the Lombardi Trophy being the greatest when the only arguments they can think of in its favour is the size of the event and not even one argument about the trophy itself?
I agree with Jason. Hockey is not at the top of my sports list but the Stanley Cup is special. Second favorite trophy is the World Cup - because it is only won every 4 years after you beat the rest of the world to become the best soccer nation!
Playoff hockey is better than any other sport except nfl
Right on the Stanley Cup. But that WC trophy is small and pathetic; I don't care if it's made of gold, make the earth the size of at least a ball from the game, also the names of the countries that win get put on the bottom of the trophy that no one can see.
Ooooh shit I forget about the World Cup as I'm not a big soccer person, but man that's another gorgeous trophy and it's certainly gotta be one of the most prestigious ones too.
Eh The Champions League Trophy is way cooler. It's the best two teams in the world from the best leagues in the world. Plus its got its own theme song.
World Cup 🤔🤔it’s a banger fs
Don't think I've ever watched more than 5min of a hockey game. First thing that came into my head was the Stanley Cup.
You're missing out. Like Baseball, there are a lot of subtle easy to miss actions going on all the time, that influence the game. It's not as nuanced as baseball, but it is more intense, physical, and faster.
@@scottydog1313baseball stinks hockey is great though
@@voiddcxi2630 Baseball has a lot of subtle and very unique aspects to it no other sport has. Especially the duel between the pitcher and batter. A lot of it is very hard to pick up on for the casual fan, and it can take years to understand it. It helps if you grew up playing it, and follow it closely.
And I love how in hockey the players get the trophy first. Giving it to the owners first is so weird.
They should redesign the NFL trophy. They can make it a statue of Tom Brady with his 7 rings and it can say kiss my ass at the bottom. 😂😂😂😂😂
An AVN Trophy duh
UEL they dont know but still
Lord Stanley reigns supreme for sure!
Stanley cup is unique since it’s the only one. Plus having every winner etched into the trophy is such a cool idea
What do you mean there's only one? Like the team who won it last year has to give it up to the winner this year? No team gets to permanently keep one?
@@TechDove no team permanently keeps the stanley cup, they routinely remove rings to put into the HOF or else it'd be 30ft by now hahahaha
@@YANILLIONAIRE oh I'd be heated lol
@@bradenrobertson6814 eh I don't like that. Personally that cheapens winning it
@@TechDove my thought process is, would you rather hold a brand new trophy or the exact same one your childhood heroes held on TV?
Lord Stanley… I was fortunate to hoist and drink out of it TWICE!! When the Red Wings won back to back in ‘97&98… I’ve got a dope pic in front of Federov’s house, catering his party, and I was 15… he was letting everyone get a drink with it and pics.. he saw me and said “Get over here man!” One of the single coolest things ever
Stanley cup is right. It has a life if it’s own. It grows every year..they literally handle it with white gloves 👼 like it’s the Holy Grail!
the coolest part of the stanley cup is having your name etched on the side with legends of the hockey world, that cup has 125 years of history behind it & it means everything to hockey players. every kid in canada has the same dream of hoisting it up at centre ice & doing your victory lap while the crowd goes nuts.
Not entire true, your name goes on the trophy but they can only fit a certain number of teams. The cup has rings with x amount of teams on it, they add it to the cup but remove the oldest ring. Once a ring is removed, it goes to the HHoF (Hockey Hall of Fame) and is there cemented in history. Otherwise if they kept adding rings of names and not removing old ones, it would be like 6ft tall
In Canada? Hell even the kids across pond in Russia, Finland, and Sweden grow up wanting to follow in the footsteps of their countrymen. It really is an international trophy and the sports greatest ambassador
Fun fact: The 1907 Montreal Wanderers were the first team to have their names engraved. Their names are actually IN the bowl.
@@roneified4405 Where should it be
?
@@QT-173 I don't understand what you mean sorry
Gotta agree with Jason on this one. Part of what makes the Stanley Cup so special is that there is only one whereas the Lombardi gets re-made every year.
There’s actually 2. One sits in the Hockey HOF in Toronto
@@jordancapa8389 yea, i remember going to see it. I think they retired it because it was going to fall apart with age.
@@jordancapa8389 the bowl in the HOF is a replica when the teams have the real one, but the bands are real
You can’t drink beer out of the Lombardi.
When the Nats won the World Series after the Caps won the Stanley Cup I remember thinking "Wow, these guys could use a trophy you can really have fun with."
So you didn't see the clip of Travis Kelce literally drinking beer out of the Lombardi trophy?
@@stephenwest6738 After I posted that I did seem him drink *off* it, yes, and it gave me a new appreciation for the Lombardi. 😅
@@stephenwest6738 Well can the Lombardi be used to baptize children in? Cause Lord Stanley can.
I just watched an old clip where Rick Tocchet brought the cup out on NBA Whatever (Shaq, Ernie, Kenny & Chuck) and he said (I think) that you can fit 14 beers in the bowl
As a huge football fan. Stanley Cup reigns supreme
Stanley cup is awesome. And such a grind to win. Game every two nights for like a month and a half. Intense games and you are so beaten up at the end. Very hard to repeat due to the physical toll on your team.
Never watched hockey in my life. Jason is 100% right. That thing is HUGE and SHINY. And there's only ONE.
There’s two one of them is in the hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto also, you should probably watch some hockey. It’s a fun sport to watch unlike baseball.
As a whole…the NHL has it locked up! Hands down the best hardware in professional sports!!!
Stanley cup is precious it’s the worst of worst luck for a hockey player to touch it before winning it. Crazy history and superstitions with lord Stanley
First thought was Stanley Cup, that shit is beautiful I don't care what anyone says
As a hockey fan. I love them saying that
The best part about the Stanley Cup is that every single organization that wins provides 52 names to go on the cup, that being players, coaches, management and staff. That was the tradition for a long while, since they can only engrave 13 teams on each ring of the cup, they have started to remove the oldest ring of champs in order to keep the trophy the same size. When the oldest ring is removed, it gets retired into the Hall of Fame, so every single name can still be seen till the end of days. Even if you’re only a member of the coaching staff, as long as your team wins a cup, your name will live on. Generations down the line will be able to find your name on the cup.
The Stanley cup looks like a giant silver beer keg😂😂
And they drink beer out of it
100% agree with jason, the Cup is so effin 🔥
100% agree. Hardest trophy to win! Good QB play equates to championships in football. Hockey doesn't have a "QB" equivalent position. Each position is equally important. It's the truest team sport.
Not to mention, the playoffs are over 2 months long. Not 4 weeks like the entire NFL playoffs.
This is comming from a massive NFL fan.
Agree on Stanley Cup. Also among the hardest if not the hardest trophy to win in sport. You need to win 4x 7-game series with speed, skill, stamina and relentless physicality. Only the strong survive.
I knew what Jason was going to say, he's an objective thinker!
As someone who fell in love with Hockey before Football I just have to say I fully agree that it's absolutely Lord Stanley but man the Lombardi for as simplistic as it is, is a really nice trophy, but if I had to pick win the Lombo or win Lord Stanley it's Lord Stanley all day.
The World Cup has left the chat..
Good
That trophy is trash in comparison to many others. If it's so significant, at least make the earth on it the size of the ball in the game.
@@TheRealBace you are the definition of why people outside the US think yanks are dumb af🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥱
@@TheRealBace what the fuck does that have to do with anything 💀💀
@@TheRealBace and yet the World Cup is the most expensive trophy in the world 😂😂.
The FIFA World Cup has left the chat.
ONG. Typical yanks
Literally lost the original world cup trophy so how is it special
It's boring, the Stanley cup is like 5 feet tall
The Stanley cup is 1000x times cooler. FIFA World Cup trophy is better than the Lombardi trophy though.
@@nomarxistspls90Yanks? The NHL isn’t just a US sport.
J money absolutely always on the money. That cup is iconic. It's bigger, and just a fucking huge cup. It's awesome
All you need is one look at the Stanley Cup and you know it's the best. Thing is HUGE
Nothing touches how much I love football. I’ll follow baseball, hockey, basketball, and some world soccer.
Nothing compares to the Stanley Cup.
For one it’s f’n massive. Two, the history of getting a plaque on it and being enshrined in history. It having a bowl to drink from with championship champagne.
But really it’s going through a slew of 7 games series to get there. You can somewhat have a luckier easier path to a Super Bowl. Rarely is the Stanley cup winner not the absolute best.
Lord Stanley’s Cup is it
Totally agree with Jason.
All of hockey's trophys are amazing. The individual awards like : Hart, Art Ross, Conn Smythe and etc... they're just gorgeous. Hockey by a mile.
The Champions League aka ‘big ears’
The worlds strongest man trophy is underrated. It’s literally atlas holding up the world. Sick
Nailed it Jay
Favourite quote from the guy who looks after the cup “you can hug, you can kiss it, you can even lick it, but if you want to hoist it go out and win it.”
Lord Stanley’s Cup
You bet the Lombardi Trophy 🏆 is awesome so is the the Stanley cup that is a hard one to decide!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️✨🏆🏆🏆
It lord stanley and it’s not even a debate. There’s only one. You’re not allowed touch it unless you get permission. It’s only in your possession for as long as you are the champ. And if you win it. Your name gets engraved.
I hold the Super Bowl in high regard. It’s the biggest game in sports in my opinion. Therefore the Lombardi is the best trophy.
UEFA champions league trophy will always be the one for me. I got to lift it in Madrid when I was a kid
I don’t understand why some people think America is the center of the world, it is the World Cup
Champions league trophy and stanley cup trophy for me. Both are beautiful
I was absolutely thinking the Stanley Cup.
The Stanley Cup feels as opulent as it needs to be without being super gaudy.
And also the fact all winners of the Stanley Cup get to have a night with it is way, way, way better then i get to keep my fingerprints on it as it passes to the stage (if the NFL team doesn't polish the ever lovin out of it) in the Lombardi.
I agree with the older brother, and you can drink out of the Stanley cup
It’s the Stanley cup and it isn’t close. You really can’t even debate it.
The World Cup….it’s gold
I do like the gold, it's number 3 on my list though.
Thats not even a cup
Yeah but nobody cares about it except soccer fans and soccer fans suck. Easily the rudest fans of any sport
Definitely the most prestigious award, and it’s the hardest to win.
@@sergiobomr216 ur opinion
Stanley cup is iconic... because it's only one, and you gotta take it from the other team... makes the competition better over making a new one for each team that wins..
Edit: I'm proud of the Avalanche winning it 3 times in my lifetime... if the damn nuggets and rockies could win something I can die in peace lol
Jason is correct. Lombardi is nice to look at but that’s all. And not for long. The cup IS hockey and has a deep history. Travis’ CTE might be kicking in.
I personally like soccer more than anything but I think the World Cup trophy second to the Stanley that thing just looks like a genuine trophy big as hell and bright asl
stanley cup✅
All the NHL trophies are great, check em out! Norris (best Dman), Vezina (goalie), Art Ross (scoring), Selke (best defensive forward), etc
Scoring trophy is the Maurice 'Rocket' Richard. The Art Ross goes to the player with most points ( goals + assists).
lord stanley's cup
WC trophy, ucl trophy, libertadores trophy
It's the Stanley Cup because it's the hardest one to win.
The Jules Rimet cup (world cup trophy) is very nice I would love to have a replica or even the real thing
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 as if I couldn’t love this guy more
You can literally drink from the Stanley Cup and your name is etched on it forever!!! Not to mention you can drink out of it
Stanley Cup hands down best trophy in sports 💯
I don't even watch hockey but the Stanley Cup is the best trophy
Stanley Cup >>> any other trophy, not even close
World Cup is definitely a better trophy
Winning Stanley cup is the hardest trophy to win
The Korean Baseball sword trophy deserves an honorable mention
The Lombardi trophy is plain as hell imo.
I said Stanley Cup right as he asked the question. It's just a behemoth and a cool trophy.
It's definitely the Stanley cup
More than a handful of humans care about the famous old cup with the famous ears so id go with the champion's league trophy
It’s the World Cup bozo
Premier league trophy easily.
Jason is right sorry Travis lol
The Larry O’Brien trophy is underrated
Agreed 100 percent that would be my pick. Love how it's all gold and the top part being the basketball and the bottom trophy having the hoop design I love the design
The BCS trophy was pretty sick
The medals and ribbons given at the Special Olympics are the best trophies in sports.❤❤
As someone who doesn’t watch hockey, it’s the Stanley Cup
You can't pour beer into the Lombardi trophy
Stanley Cup all the way
Lordo reigns supreme
Borg Warner trophy
Imagine if the NFL still had the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Cup and that was the only trophy to be passed around the league
World Cup by far
The world cup
Jason +1
There’s one stanley cup with a few replicas a new lombardi trophy is made every year if your team has won a SB the trophy you see always on display in the stadium is the one the players lifted
Stanley Cup by a mile.
Even junior hockey trophy is 10x harder to win than Lombardi.
NFL playoffs are ridiculous. Only MLB is worse.
NHL BABY! Love Football, but I'm from Hockey Town! Agree, Jason! ❤ HAIL TO LORD STANLEY!
Technically true and not true, there are 2 Stanley Cups. The Original Dominion Cup which was given out in 1892, under went re-designs between 1948-57 which led to the shape we are familiar with today. Fear of the cup becoming to brittle and not being able to withstand future use it was replicated/re-designed in 1963. This is called the "Presentation Cup" this is the cup you're familar with and will see with players and the one that travels the world. It's also contains numerous spelling errors.
In 1993 the Presentation Cup was replicated with corrections applied this is known as the "Hockey Hall of Fame Cup". When the Presentation Cup is on the road, this is likely to be the one you see in the HoF. If you can't tell which one you're looking at, look at the 83-84 Oilers team, if you see XXXXXX over a name, it's the Presentation Cup. The owner of the team at the time had his dad's name, Basil Pocklington, engraved among the players and management. This is a no-no so the NHL had the name "X-ed" out.
To ensure the trophy remains its current size, the top "band" in the trophy is removed every 13 years and a new one is added to the bottom.
Borg Warner. Given to the winner of the Indy 500. Stands 5 ft tall, one of a kind like Stanley, 90 years old, made by Tiffany and Co, has a miniature sculpture of every winning drivers face
Stanley Cup and it's Not Close. not close. A little man comes with the Stanley Cup where EVER iT GOES!! a Lot of Drugs have been consumed off and out of that thing.
Stanley cup 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ i though both of them where going to say the lambardi trophy or the World Cup fr
#1 Is Americas Cup.#2 World Cup.#3 English Premier League Trophy
Lord Stanley's Cup, and it's not even up for discussion. Nothing else comes close. Thomasbigt said World cup is next, and he's right. The Lombardi is third.
I agree...it's the Stanley cup. I don't even watch hockey, and when the question came up my first thought was the Stanley cup.
The Stanley Cup seems like the easy answer. Foot ball requires more players to win. Compared to basketball, hockey etc...
Did anyone catch this vibe?
Did you know? Double pressing a comment is a like, BUT, triple pressing replies to the op? Try it out!
I’ve seen this video often and had no idea they’re both football people and one of them is dating Taylor Swift.
Props to Jason for picking out the Super Bowl. I thought he was a hockey guy.
UFC 170lb belt. imho . Small enough to be fast but strong enough to move heavy weight for 5 5min rounds.
