Football trophies are often ordered online or can be bought at trophy manufacturers' warehouses. Some good models are also available at reputed sports shops, which will give customers the opportunity to personalize the football awards with engraving. When it comes to the design of a football trophy, some recurring themes are more often used than the others. The most commonly used designs include a sculpted footballer with the ball at his feet. This is generally made of a metal or an alloy and the trophy wouldn't cost more than 50 dollars in most cases or even less. football medals

Almost all football trophies come with metal or alloy sculpted figure firmly mounted on a wooden base which carries the engravings, whether it is the company sponsoring the event or the name of the winners of the event. In recent times, the metallic figures are being replaced by blocks of acrylic or even crystal which look more beautiful, sophisticated and far lighter. These acrylic or crystal football trophies are far more inexpensive too than their metallic counterparts. In case of crystal or glass, the writing is done on the memento itself through etching. A great benefit of football awards made of glass, crystal or acrylic is the maintenance which becomes easier as there is no physical deterioration that can set up in these materials unlike in metal, which is vulnerable to rust as well as corrosion.

Football awards are also designed like a structure carrying the logo of the sponsors' at the top.

The engraved plaques and the logo designs could be ordered online too, with a low turnaround time.

Sponsors only need to submit their logo and choose a prototype for the structure and their customized football trophies are ready for the event. Some of the online sites provide excellent finish and workmanship at low prices, thus making the most observed symbol of an event, the biggest attraction too.
