    Your right, maybe tony wanted a nice trophy instead of something that looked like it came out of a thrift shop.

        It’s not about whether it looks cool to some random person, is it fashionable, well no, not really. It is purely nostalgia and symbolism. You want the Globe.

        You sure are arguing quite a bit over something you don’t care about.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          I've been a fan since the 70's but, like I said some fans care about the trophy and others don't. Things change and some people except change easier than others. That's just a fact.

            Having the check puts food on the table not a trophy. I highly doubt to many are going to say keep the check but, give me the globe.

              Well, there is the fact that the World 100 always draws more cars than the Dream when the Dream pays way better. You never hear them say Billy Moyer collected 6 World 100 paychecks either, they say he has 6 Globes. I don't think anyone is going to pass on the check, but the globe had been a big part of the weekend 48 times, I don't see the point of changing that on the 49th race. I could see them maybe wanting to change it up somehow for the 50th, but even then just incorporating a globe into a different design. JMO tho

Ask about the globe and only small percentage would even know what the trophy was for.
                  If Bloomer had won I'd bet you would be all upset !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    Lance Landers sure as hell isn't making a profit running team 49. I bet he'd like a Globe to display.

                      Here is a great point, they always gave away 2 Globe trophy's, one for the driver and one for the owner. Lance got robbed of a Globe trophy.

                      Change my mind.

                            Every sport has its event were money isn't the most important thing and thats what the world 100 is to DLMR, so stuff like hardware is important. When I first read this thread I was concerned that the trophy was just a typical trophy but I looked at it on DOD it still has a globe on it from the best I could see. The past trophys did look cheap so maybe this new one won't hurt the image.

                              There's no Globe, just a modernistic sphere. It's a powder coated hunk of metal that misses the mark.
                              I can't see calling it a redesign of the Globe trophy at all, which is one thing, instead it's a new thing that replaced the Globe trophy. Not cool, IMO.

                                Personally, for me to accept the redesign, which the World 100 trophy has had different designs before just not in a long while, they need to add a proper Globe. Hollow it out so it isn't just a chunk of metal, it'll look better and I'd like it to be light enough where the winner can lift it in celebration. (Taking about where you can see through the trophy) Drop the powder coating and plate it with Silver or chrome (Gold plate next year). The silhouette isn't that bad.

                                It just went too far off the rails, all modern and no tradition.
