SuperLiga Kick Off
The SuperLiga trophy was unveiled today at a press conference in Hollywood. It's pretty cool looking as you can see above.
What inspired the design? Here are the details from MLS:
"The winning team will gain possession of a silver and gold eagle feather or la pluma, which has long been one of the most coveted objects in world history, revered as a sacred symbol of honor, bravery, strength, excellence and glory. The bald eagle (U.S. and Canada) and golden eagle (Mexico) also carry great significance in North America with the golden eagle featuring in Mexico's national flag."
Alrighty then.
