Posted by Nick on Sep 20, 2023
Ahoy, history buffs and trophy enthusiasts! ? Grab your detective hats because we're diving deep into the mystery of how "custom trophies" became the go-to for celebrating greatness. Ever had a eureka moment during your morning latte and thought, "Why are shiny awards so enthralling?" Well, buckle up, buttercup, as we whisk you away on a whimsical journey through the annals of trophy history.
A Trip Down Trophy Lane
From the days when selfies were portraits that took ages to paint, humans have been all about that recognition. Not just with a hearty handshake or a pat on the back, but with tangible, "quality awards" that shouted, "You're the bee's knees!"
Did you know that the term "trophy" comes from the Greek word 'tropaion'? This was a monument put up to honor a military victory. Imagine chiseled warriors, showcasing captured weapons like they were today's personalized plaques for employee of the month.
From Ancient Times to Your Modern-day Mantel
Fast-forward a few eons and we see Romans jazzing up their trophies, embracing ornate designs crafted from precious metals. They were the trendsetters of their era, after all. And let's not forget the ancient Olympic Games where victors didn't get gold medals, but lush olive wreaths! (Though I bet they wouldn't have minded one of the "Decade Awards collection" pieces.)
By medieval times, jousting knights were the sporting celebrities, competing for splendid weapons and armors. The forefathers of our football or chess trophies, if you will.
