BALTIMORE TROPHY HOUSE

TROPHIES

Many times, trophies are synonymous with victory or a championship.  Trophies began as “tropaion” in ancient Greece, and may have been treasures, land, or any number of prizes signifiying one side’s win in a war.  In hunting, a trophy may be the head of a deer.  As the centuries rolled on, trophies became a symbol of success in sporting events as well.  This came about due to the massive increase in organized sports, and the urge to mark victory with a tangible treasure.  Trophies aren’t just used for organized sports, however, as many corporations, schools, churches, and even government agencies give trophies out to their employees, volunteers, and constituents for accomplishments completed and excellence attained.  For decades, adults and children have felt appreciated when given a trophy.  Trophies are an excellent engine for motivation, positivity, and a winning mentality.  At Baltimore Trophy House, we provide trophies for organizations of all kinds.

  • Youth Sports Organizations
  • Professional Sports Leagues
  • Corporations
  • Small Businesses
  • Schools
  • Colleges and Universities
  • Religious Institutions
  • Non-Profits

There are many very famous trophies that are given to champions today.  The Carlisle Bells in England are the oldest known trophies in the world.  They are given to winners of a horse race in Cumbria, England.  

Laurel wreaths were given to Olympic champions as far back as 1500 years ago.  A few of the most famous modern trophies are the Lombardi Trophy, the FIFA World Cup trophy, and Major League Baseball’s Commissioner’s Trophy.  These are extremely prestigious awards that symbolize a team’s championship at the highest level of competition in the world.  The designs show how dramatically different trophy structures can evoke feelings of triumph, hard work, and sportsmanship.

Trophies can be a catharsis of work accomplished over a long season.  Legendary Maryland basketball coach once stated that when he finally won the Atlantic Coast Conference trophy, he would bolt it to the hood of a fancy sedan and drive around North Carolina taunting everybody around.  Of course this doesn’t evoke ideal sportsmanship, but it shows the passion and emotion with which people deal when receiving a trophy for triumphant results.  At Baltimore Trophy House, serving Maryland for decades, we create the highest quality:

Trophies can be given out for title winners, for unsung heroes, or for specialists who excel in that specialty (think Cy Young Award).  They can also be given to community members who the community depends on, or who went above and beyond.  At Baltimore Trophy House, we understand that giving every single person a trophy may reduce the importance of said trophy.  Even though we are a trophy company, we actually believe at the older ages, maybe a trophy isn’t the best “thank you”, if you are not the champs or runners-up.  There are other ways to reward hard work, and the trophy can maintain it’s “best of the best” aura.  

Organizations that use our services certainly include youth sports organizations that give out trophies to all “clinic level” players, and to coaches and champs at higher levels.  We also serve a lot of churches that give out awards to people who are helping the cause.  Companies and corporations also like to celebrate their greatest producers.  We can help give them the recognition that they deserve.
