Create Your Dream Sports Room

Posted on March 4, 2015March 13, 2015 by TrophyCentral

We have been having some fun with Polyvore lately. We created an awesome sports room that any sports fanatic would want! If you are unfamiliar, Polyvore is an awesome site where you can create your own creations from fashion, to home settings to really anything with items you can find on the internet. Since we embrace creativity in everyone we totally love having fun with creating collections on Polyvore and what everyone else is able to create.

This is our sports room that we have created:

We were able to find some awesome items that you see int his room on the Polyvore site that people have already added to the site. Then we added some of our items to the site and then used them to create the ultimate sports bedroom for anyone.

We have added our Acrylic Baseball display case, because showing off your signed ball, or game winning ball is really the best way to go. There is no better place for your pride and joy than right where everyone can see it. You know everyone will ask about it. We also have our Rectangular Glass Football Case on one of the top shelves. A signed or game winning football is one of the best ways to decorate a room. Of course because these sports items are so important and valuable, we want them to stay as safe from damage as possible.

We have, of course, added a few of our trophies. Right next to the bed we have our baseball trophy with year trim. A place next to the bed on your night stand is a great place for current year trophies. That win is still fresh, so you are definitely going to want to see your trophy when you first wake up and when you go to bed! Start your day off right and end it right with some positivity and good memories.

One of our favorite awards is our Baseball Glove and Ball Award. This is so much fun, and really not like most trophies and awards. These are especially great for the young ones! They are of course so much fun to win, but look great in any kids room with any decor.. or toys! Plus, the darker stone color looks great against other shiny gold or silver trophies.

The last trophy we have on the shelf is one of our Metal Soccer Awards. These are so awesome because it takes the idea of a classic trophy with the color and shine, but them changed the shape from a tall column to exploding it into a soccer ball. What soccer player wouldn’t want to win a gold soccer ball and be able to see it every day on their shelf?

Polyvore is so much fun, and we recommend playing around with this if you can! Check out our page to get some inspiration and create your own set!

Send us a image or link of your dream sports room or any sort of sports set and we will share it! Can’t wait to see what you all create!

Baseball Fun = Fun Baseball Awards

Posted on February 11, 2015February 24, 2015 by TrophyCentral

Baseball season is right around the corner and we know how excited everyone is getting! Who doesn’t love baseball? Getting the chance to go to a baseball game is one of the funnest things to do in the spring and summer. For fans it is the whole experience of being outside with your friends and all the other fans cheering on your favorite team with a hotdog in hand is such an experience. For the players it is all about being on the field with their teammates and working together. Working so hard for that win and trophy is the best thing, and we are so happy we can offer part of that to you.

We have so many fun baseball awards that we want to share with everyone. Because baseball is so fun, why not award the players with fun trophies and awards? Trophies when they are younger are always so much fun because it is so exciting for them to have their own trophy. We have this really great Value Line Baseball Trophy great for kids. There is, of course, the space for custom engraving, which will make that kid feel even greater about winning the award. The orange really stands out from the gray stone, making it very fun and energetic.

This Baseball and Glove award is something else. This award is such a fun award for any age and are one of our popular selections. You can’t go wrong with the classic glove, ball and bats, and we take these iconic symbols and make them look completely beautiful. Who wouldn’t want to have this on their trophy shelf? Break up the line of shiny trophies with this beautiful stone award.

One of our top favorite baseball trophies is this Bendable Baseball award. Have you ever seen any award this fun? A lot of people think.. “Once you get an award all you can do it look at it”… Not here! This is one of the best awards for kids because they will actually get to bend the arms and legs and just have fun with it!

It’s Never Too Early For Basketball Trophies

Posted on January 14, 2015January 23, 2015 by TrophyCentral

“The history of basketball begins with the invention of the game in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts in the United States. Canadian James Naismith invented the first basketball game.” Who knew that a simple ball and a basket could change the world.

Basketball is one everyone’s favorite sport to watch and play, and is definitely an anticipated one to say the least. It is never too early to think about trophies and awards for the end of the basketball season. You never want to be left empty handed or relying on low quality, unappealing trophies. Kids are working their absolute hardest they can, and putting all of their heart into what they are doing, so being able to award them with something amazing is the least we can do for them.

Basketball is such an exciting and energetic sport, so of course we offer a lot of dynamic trophies and awards that show all the excitement seen in a game. This Motion Extreme trophy embodies that amazing moment of a slam dunk that we all love. We have motion trophies in both men and women figures. It is always fun to have a variety of trophies rather than all of the same.

This is another one of our dynamic awards that shows some awesome motion to match that game intensity. These boy and girl Burst through trophies are some of our favorites. They take a new look for trophies and the small size shows a crazy amount of motion and energy.

Of course we also have those amazing tiered trophies that are for some of those most important games of our lives. For big games that means big awards. Of course all of that hard work should be shown off and this two tier – three column trophy shows off all the energy put into the season.

We love to hear success stories.. tell us about your basketball or any sport’s success story. We will share your story on our facebook page.

Father’s Day is Just Around the Corner

Posted on May 16, 2014May 23, 2014 by TrophyCentral

Father’s day is Sunday June 15th this year and it is only 26 short days away. What are you doing to honor your Father, Grandfather, or husband this year? A day relaxing with Dad and doing what ever he likes is probably exactly what he wants. Dad’s love to spend time with their families and just enjoy a slow paced day. Grilling is usually a welcome Father’s day meal. Nothing fancy just some good food and good times.

Buying a Father’s day present can be hard sometimes. Staying away from the cliche tie is probably a good idea but some time tested gifts never grow tiresome. Take the homemade card for instance, no parent would ever turn that down, whether it comes from a very young child or a grown adult, taking the time to make a card for your dad is probably the best gift he could ask for.

For something different Trophy Central offers trophies in many styles and designs that can be personalized and engraved for your one of a kind Dad. We offer trophies for what ever sport or activity he likes. If Dad like to fish you could make that a theme too. Show Dad he is number 1 in your eyes with a personalized trophy.

Top 10 Trophies for Spring Sports

Posted on March 17, 2014 by TrophyCentral

We really enjoy spring here at Trophy Central. It’s a great time of year for many reasons, but our favorite is the awesome spring sports that can be played. Below you’ll find a “Top Ten” list with our favorite spring sports (complete with links to the trophies we have available for those sports).

Motion Extreme 500 Series Trophy. It has a gold resin base and qualifies for free engraving!

1. Baseball–Of course baseball has to be number one! It’s America’s pastime and definitely the classic sport that comes to mind when you think spring. We can almost taste the Cracker Jacks….

This makes a great team, championship or perpetual trophy. It has a double cherry wood base and enough room for up to 32 names!

2. Golf–This is a relaxing and fun sport that can be used throughout life. This is a sport that can be played competitively or for fun and is great in a group or solo. This sport also provides some fantastic travel opportunities as there are beautiful golf courses to be seen all over the world!

This cast stone trophy is fully modeled, hand painted and top of the line!

3. Track–This is a sport in and of itself, but it also a great way to train and stay in shape for other sports. The skills that are developed from the different track events are beneficiary in all aspects. You can also decide from a number of events to find what you’re good at–if long distance isn’t your forte, try out shorter, quicker distances and vice versa. Let’s not forget about the relays and how fun and exciting those are to watch!

This trophy has a gorgeous double cherry wood base. It’s over 23″ tall and has room for engraving of up to 32 names.

4. Softball–If you’re a fan of baseball, then you probably love softball, too. There are just a couple of differences between the two sports, but otherwise they’re pretty similar. This is a great team sport to play and is equally fun to participate in competitively or just for fun!

This “Flames” Trophy has a marble base and is available for engraving of up to three lines. Bonus: this is a “quick ship” item!

5. Volleyball–This is typically a fall sport when played in a traditional gymnasium, but it turns into a sport for spring and summer when the game is taken out to the sand. If you’ve played both in the sand and in a gym, than you know how different the two can be. Personally, we think that it’s a lot more fun to play in the sand but that it creates a bit of a challenge when moving and jumping! The sand adds to the work-out, so it’s pretty beneficial.

This is a Bobble Head Trophy that also has slots for coins and can be used as a bank. Perfect for kids, this trophy is going to be a great hit!

6. Soccer–According to Sporteology, soccer is the most popular sport in the world so of course it made our “Top Ten” list. Soccer is fun to watch and play and in other areas of the world it is sometimes called “football”. Are you one of the 3.5 billion soccer fans in the world? We are!

This popular EcoStarz Series comes with free engraving and is available in a number of subjects

7. Karate–This is a sport that can be used for a lifetime. There are so many skills that are learned in karate, not only physical, but also mental with the amount of discipline and respect that is taught and practiced. Karate is a sport that can be done year-round, but we couldn’t forget it on our list for spring!

A “Flames” Trophy with the option of choice of color for the acrylic back

8. Curling–This is quickly becoming a popular sport, so get ready to see a lot more of it in the near future! If you’re unfamiliar with it, the sport involves sliding granite stones on a sheet of ice towards and area of four concentric circles, with points awarded according to where the stones land in relation to the center. Although this is played on ice, it can be played year-round indoors. If you’re looking for a fun, new spring sport to take up, look for a curling center in your area!

Our most popular trophy style. You are able to choose between four sizes and a column color

9. Bicycling–Those that live in an area with cold weather are excited to see spring arrive when they are able to take their bicycle out and hit the pavement. This is a worldwide sport when many begin their intense training upon the arrival of the spring season. The Tour de France and many other races take place in the summer months. This is a sport that can be anywhere on the spectrum of competitive racing to a slow, relaxing Sunday ride through a park.

This trophy features 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place trim and includes 3 lines of free engraving!

10. Badminton–This is last on our list but definitely not least! Badminton is played in the spring for high school and college leagues, and can be watched during the Summer Olympics. This sport is great for hand-eye coordination and is pretty fun!
