So I was very lucky today to work on an event, that involved the the Premier League trophy. There are two Trophies which are identical and include an engraved base detailing past Premier League champions. During the season, one stays with the Premier League champions, while the other is used by the League. The champions must return their Trophy to the Premier League at least three weeks before their final league match of the season. Each Trophy stands 3ft 5in (104cm) tall and is 2ft (61cm) wide. It weighs 4st (25.4kg) in total. Of that weight, the base into which the names of the champions are engraved comprises 2.5st (15.9kg). (Here's the part few people know) The trophy is also made of pure silver, should not be touched by anyone who has not been on a winning team for the past 30. Even the people looking after the trophy cannot touch it with their own hands, they have gloves for when they have to move it and for insurance purposes cannot be raised to the chest. #lifeatsky #pl #wickedwest #heaveyhead #trophytime🏆 (at Sky) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChScGunD6EyHGDQR9A7T6VTR6Li-WOoA_YlZzU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
