Brunswick - Balke Collender Cup Brunswick - Balke Collender Cup was a silver trophy donated to the American Professional Football Association ( renamed the National Football League in 1922 ) by the Brunswick - Balke - Collender Company , Tire Division . According to the September 17 , 1920 founding meeting minutes of the NFL - AFPA , the trophy was a " silver - loving cup " , donated to the Association by a " Mr . Marshall " . It was then to be presented to the team " awarded championship by the Association " . This wording established the precedent for the 1920 season of awarding the title by a vote of the league ' s managers , rather than who finished at the top of the standings . The minutes also state that " any team winning the cup three times should be adjudged the owner [ of the trophy ] " . The motion to include the cup as the Association ' s trophy was moved and seconded and a vote of thanks was extended by the secretary to " Mr . Marshall " . The Akron Pros were awarded the 1920 AFPA Championship on April 30 , 1921 after posting an 8 – 0 – 3 record . However disputes arose from the Buffalo All - Americans and the Decatur Staleys ( renamed the Chicago Bears in 1922 ) who had been tied , but not beaten , by the Pros that year . Even though the Pros were given the trophy in 1920 , the league lost track of the event and for a long time published in its own record books that the 1920 championship was undecided . It took until the 1970s for the NFL to remember its early vote on awarding the Akron Pros the 1920 championship . What happened to the cup afterwards remains a mystery . The minutes of AFPA and NFL meetings never mention it again . Had the trophy survived , the Green Bay Packers would have gained permanent possession of the trophy upon winning their third consecutive league title in 1931 . Starting with the Championshiop 1934 game , 13 years after the original was awarded , a replacement trophy was finally commissioned , and the league ' s championship team from that season onward received the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy . The trophy was named after Ed Thorp , a noted referee , rules expert , and sporting goods dealer . Thorp died in 1934 , and a large , traveling trophy was made that year , passed along from champion to champion each season with each championship team ' s name inscribed on it ( just like its predecessor ) . Teams would also receive a replica trophy . The trophy was last awarded to the Minnesota Vikings in 1969 . Both trophies remain missing to this day . Since 1970 , the league has issued the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the winners of the league ' s title ; unlike its two predecessors , a new one is produced each year . ( The Lombardi Trophy dates to 1967 and the first Super Bowl , and was retained when the NFL and the American Football League merged ) .
