A Symbolic Overture: The Liberty Torch Design
In the realm of sports rivalry, few matchups carry the weight and passion as the Hudson River Derby between the New York City Football Club and the New York Red Bulls. This annual clash of titans inspired the creation of a bespoke masterpiece: the Hudson River Derby Championship Award.
Crafted with precision and passion, this custom award stands as a beacon of victory. Shaped in the form of an iconic liberty torch, the design pays homage to a symbol deeply significant to both teams. The torch sculpture, standing proudly at 15” tall, is cast in bronze, adorned with two distinct patinas. A gold patina dances on the flame, while a museum green patina gracefully adorns the torch. This meticulous detailing elevates the award to more than a trophy; it becomes a work of art.
Bronze Brilliance: A Sculpture of Significance
The choice of bronze for this masterpiece is no coincidence. Bronze, a material that has withstood the test of time, reflects the enduring nature of the Hudson River Derby rivalry. It captures the essence of strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit that defines these annual clashes on the football field.
A Pedestal of Prestige: The Engraved Base
Mounted on a 3.5” circular black wood base, the sculpture's total height reaches an impressive 18.5”. This base is not just a support; it's a canvas for recognition. An engraved plate proudly displays the Hudson River Derby logo, immortalizing each year's victorious team. The base, a sturdy foundation, symbolizes the solid ground on which these football titans compete.

The Hudson River Derby Championship Award transcends the conventional notion of a trophy. It is a manifestation of the shared history, fierce competition, and the enduring spirit of the Hudson River Derby. Beyond the bronze and patinas, it symbolizes the dedication, skill, and passion that define this annual clash of soccer giants.
Where Rivalry Meets Artistry
