The Grey Cup is getting a new base for the first time since 1987.
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame houses and administers the Grey Cup and executive director Mark DeNobile said the trophy’s silhouette remains unchanged.The names of the Grey Cup champions on the new base remain mounted in vertical columns but they’re now made up of individual plaques. The champions’ names are darkened to make them easier to see.
Starting next year, a plaque from the past will be removed each year to make room for a new one honouring the newest champion. That means a plaque listing the name of the 2020 Grey Cup champions will replace the 1909 plaque. The plaques that are removed will remain on permanent display at the Hall of Fame. As well, the entire barrel-shaped base that’s been used since 1987 will also remain on display, attached to a replica of the original chalice.
