Your commissioner and champion has changed zip codes (with much help from The Adam Duffy), so the Harrington Trophy has found a new place to call home as well. It's not the most glamorous of mantles, but I'm not complaining. I'll see all of you at the draft on the 27th in Lawton. There, I'll let you touch the Harrington if you'd like. I can't wait for this season to start, my first one as a defending champion. I'm starting a new career path and don't know how much free time I'll have, HOWEVA, I will never forget that our trophy is named after a man who won the entire ESPN.com network of fantasy football leagues while losing his job, his girlfriend, his health and his home. Arrogant Americans in 2011!

 
 
The folks at SculptureAlley.net were so impressed with how well our league logo looked after their art department altered it for engraving that they have featured it on their site as an example of their best work. I'd like to give many, many thanks to Jim Horinek, Managing Editor of The Collegian as well as master of Photoshop, for his time and effort in designing the first draft of our logo. Thanks also go to SculptureAlley for doing such a fine job. To see the image of our trophy at SculptureAlley, click here and scroll about halfway down.

The people at Sculpture Alley had to redesign our logo slightly to be able to engrave it into the plaque, so here is what it will look like on the actual trophy.

I have a dilemma. I really like the idea of sending trophies to the champions each year, but I think the league may be better served having one traveling trophy that stays with the champion until he loses the crown. What do you think? 


I was thinking of something like this: Sculpture Alley. For $10 extra, they can even engrave our logo into the trophy. What do you think about this one with 18 engraving plates? 


Think of it as the Stanley Cup of our league. For about $5 each, we can order a really nice perpetual trophy and have it stay with the champion until a new champion is crowned.
