Custom Football Awards
A custom football award is a real, full size football finished in gold or silver and printed with the honoree's name, the award title or stat, the season and your team logo. Coaches and booster clubs give them at end-of-season banquets in place of a standard trophy because a football is the one award a player will actually keep on a shelf for good.
Gold or Silver: What You Get
Every award football is a real ball in gold or silver. Gold is the usual pick for the top honors, like MVP or Player of the Year. Silver works well for recognition awards, like Most Improved or Team Leader. Many teams order a mix so the whole banquet table matches.
