The original trophy was produced by Tiffany & Co. in Newark, New Jersey. Others have since been handcrafted by the company in Parsippany, New Jersey. The trophy was first awarded to the Green Bay Packers in 1967 (when the Super Bowls official designation was the AFL-NFL World Championship Game) after they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10.

They made Super Bowl Sunday the best day of all with one of the greatest performances in an NFL title game — sparked by a defense that ranks among the best ever. The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl crown by punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That masterful defense, the NFLs stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.
