Oh my! Sounds as if it would have to be delivered in a 18 wheeler.

if nothing else, we should sing that song at all AC St. Louis NSC Minnesota games

I’m thinking we should combine the best trophy ideas: A log with an anchor stuck in that is attached to a paddle with an Asian carp jumping over it being pulled by a steamboat

Back in the day Mpls and St. Louis were the two major US flour producers. And a bit of trivia…when the producers in MPLS came across a barrel of low quality flour they would mark the side “Produced in St. Louis”.

Maybe too obscure.

But the anticipation of a legit soccer rivalry is tasty.

On an unrelated note…what is the word on the MN Kings? is that gonna happen? Will there be a good-hearted rivalry with the Twin Stars?

Though, you could also just chop this off to about a foot high and mount it on a similar base: http://www.art-and-home.net/servlet/the-3082/Wrought-Iron-Star-Finial/Detail

I just don’t want it to be a traditional cup. I would love for it to
be something unique that has more character. I’m thinking a poll on
IMS.

Here’s the ones I have liked so far.

-The leading line if it was created like the link that was given and you and wound it up. Could look cool.
-Canoe paddle with each teams logo painted on is and the winner and date gets put on at the end of the season. (a bit traditional so don’t like this one quite as much)
- A tradition captains wheel which could be painted up with the team logos and same set up as paddle.
-(Leaning towards this one) A cool piece of driftwood from the river that is smallish but log shaped and thick. Again, logos and winners painted on it and it could have a niche carved out in it for a sealed jar of river water from the ole Miss. We could get St. Louis to send some up from there and we could ad our own so it was a mixture. Sort of like “The Ashes” but then again nothing at all like the ashes.

Still waiting on KJ’s sketch.

I like Erik’s idea for an anchor for a trophy.
