Transcript
My name is Victor Solomon, and this is Malaria Bryant trophy. We redesigned this on occasion of the seventy fifth anniversary a few years ago. Let me walk you through some details we brought to the game. The seams of the ball and the net are contrast, so they pop out a little bit more rank a little more literal design of the net how it should be. But the most important part, we have the engravings of every previous winner of the trophy that get updated annually. Seventy five years of winners here, and this ring will hold the next twenty five years. But the most important thing that we did, when the winner lifts the trophy, it's the first time it will ever be seen from the underside. So the Easter egg of the final script under the trophy, which is only seen when the winner lifts it up.
