I was looking at the Giro d'italia trophy the other day and never really appreciated how good looking that trophy is.
So far its the best. Show me better.

this doesnt count.
it cant be a good looking trophy when the bloke holding it is infinitely more handsome than the trophy itself.

This is clearly the best trophy of all time.

huge fan of the stanley cup because you can probably kill someone with it

Whilst a huge fan of hockey, and the cup and everything that it gets up to in the offseason (each player gets to take it 'home' with them for a period, some of the stories around that are legendary).

but its not a particularly 'pretty' trophy.

is that a proper trophy or some Johnnie Walker sponsorship tie in?

cause if thats just a legit trophy it is indeed very nice.

my next offseason thread creation "are there any good looking cyclists?"

will give you a co-producer half credit.

Plaguesey and I, as Arsenal fans, prefer our trophies to be gold.

Boston Marathon Medal always features a Unicorn:

“The unicorn is a mythological figure that is meant to be pursued, but, in that pursuit, you never catch [it],” Fleming said. “So it inspires you to continue to try — to race harder in the case of running — and though it may be elusive, it really is the pursuit of the unicorn that makes you better and better and better.”
