As we gear up for the Super Bowl, Eagles fans are excited for the Birds to take the field, but the real show-stopper is what they're playing for: the Lombardi Trophy.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy, made of sterling silver, is awarded to the Super Bowl-winning team. It is 22 inches tall and weighs around 7 pounds. The trophy costs around $50,000 to produce. A new trophy is made each season and is kept permanently by the winning team.

Bill Belichick thinks Tom Brady deserves a bit more Super Bowl credit, but let's not forget all that Vince Lombardi meant for the NFL.

Who will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans, and how will it be won?

The Vince Lombardi trophy is the prize that the two teams in the Super Bowl battle it out for. But the winning team is not just given a shiny new trophy to put on show at their stadium, each player on the winning team is given a Super Bowl ring.
