As a side note: the first three are "permanent trophies." As such, new ones are made each year and awarded the championship team to be kept permanently. The fourth, hockey's Stanley Cup, is a "travelling trophy." In that, it is passed on to the new season's championship team with the team's name engraved on the lower band. (It's also the oldest North American sports trophy, having been first awarded in 1893). The bowl atop is the actual original trophy. The lower portion is comprised of a barrel with five removable bands. When the cup runs out of room for new names, the top band is removed and the others move up one spot. Every 13 years, a band is retired and placed in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

National championships ~ Vince Lombardi Trophy (football), Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy (basketball), Commissioner's Trophy (baseball), Stanley Cup (hockey).
