With the UFL postseason just two weeks away, the league has unveiled their Championship Trophy. The United Football League has designed an entirely new piece of hardware, which differs from the pieces featured in the USFL and XFL.
The official #UFL Championship Trophy has arrived.
Thoughts on where this one stands compared to the #USFL & #XFL trophies from the past couple of years? pic.twitter.com/m33yS5DyZC

The UFL trophy utilizes a slick, silver design – which is similar to what the USFL had. The two columns on each side appear to be able to host a football, which makes you wonder if a football will be placed on top from the team that ultimately wins the Championship.
Either way, it’s a sweet looking trophy. Many were hoping for something that had similarities to the USFL’s Championship design from the past couple of years.
I like it. I like the symbolism of the 2 pillars representing both leagues.
I don’t like it as much as the USFL trophy, but it’s much better than the disaster that was the XFL trophy.

Down at the bottom of the trophy, the UFL logo with “Champions” spelled underneath fills out the final details. It’s a simplistic concept, but one that the league pulls off quite well.

For reference, the USFL and XFL trophies had a stark contrast between the two of them. It would be intriguing to see if they still keep them involved, as the Conference Championship trophies. The XFL had semi-final awards given out last year, the USFL did not.
USFL and XFL trophies should at least be the conference championship trophies 👀 pic.twitter.com/j5oG1YznOT

The playoffs are already set. The Birmingham Stallions, Michigan Panthers, San Antonio Brahmas, and St. Louis Battlehawks will battle it out, starting on June 8th, to see who will hoist this beauty.
