The new #CommonwealthClash trophy is here 👀(» @SmithfieldBrand) pic.twitter.com/Uau8uHh05f— HokieSports (@hokiesports) October 11, 2022
Keep in mind, this is not the Cup, this is for the all athletics competition. But man, that's certainly an interesting trophy.

Low man wins
That Hoo lookes like Crypto from Destroy All Humans games.
They both kinda look like Tim Burton versions of themselves
I was thinking Cad Bane from Boba Fett😂
I was thinking it would have a trashcan on top because both programs are garbage right now. Hey-O. Ill see myself out.
Why even have this? VT is a 1 trick pony that never beats UVA in any other sport. Oh wait.
Well its one of the ugliest trophies I can think of.
My man, have you not seen the Land Grant trophy??
truly horrible
Worst trophy I've seen since the Iowa Family Values trophy
Jenny, I'd like to ask for your hand in marriage, and to adopt and love your two children you had with Old Man Clay. I don't have a ring, but here's a husk of corn, and my ration for the day. They might be dirty hands, but it's clean money.
Um Jenny looks like she's a teenager. Possibly a daughter of the corn man.
wtf is that. unbelievable.
Well that's reassuring. But seriously who signed off on this one lmao
Nothing says football like the perfect white gender normative family with corn. Totally representative of multicultural team of young men.
Did we need that trophy? Couldn't it just be a banner or something.
this...does not make sense to me
the fact that somebody probably got paid a lot of money to make this is.... something.
Taking bets on if it was same people who came up with VT swoop academic logo.
Lol, I thought that guy was "reassigned" to another position. Wasn't that the former provost?
It was this lady
She also did this one
What do you call a self portrait sculpture?
Chip off the old block?
It's not just bad it's actively stupid. Like Tommy Wiseau couldn't design something this bad even if he tried.
Well...that certainly is a thing.
Maybe, in some indirect way, this is symbolic of why both top VA state schools' football programs are in shambles.
This is for all sports not the Commonwealth Cup
Ah was thinking Cup not Clash. But yeah, why can't this just be a banner or little 'woo' and fist pump moment?
Why do both mascots look like they should be in a Sarah McLachlan commercial
There is no depiction of the hokie bird anywhere that looks that emaciated...Awful
Straight up skinny legs
Maybe Hilgart was its trainer
With a trophy that ugly, the loser should be the ones who get it and are forced to display it.
Feels like they should have done away with the mascots and just used an outline of the state of Virginia or something as the basis for the new design instead. The old one was super generic but this new one just looks corny.
Maybe Fuente designed the trophy? He wanted to have Corny things around VT.
Really???
I think it looks awesome.
It's unique, modern, and has a unique version of the two mascots.
Most importantly, we should keep it safe in a permanent display case for it at VT.
I mean, I don't HATE it but I'd stop well short of calling it awesome. I think the mascots look...weak... but maybe that's a subtle jab at the state of the program(s). Maybe it's a progressive trophy that will morph over time. As VT rises again maybe the Hokiebird will beef back up? That would be interesting. I just think it's weird to have a trophy for the commonwealth clash. And the trophy itself is kinda strange to me.
Well, OK, I'd have made them both more muscular (maybe like the WVU game poster from a few years back), but not every trophy has to be identical.
I think it's cool and unique.
Like I said, I'd be happy to see in on permanent display in one of the VT trophy cases.
Folks in Cape Charles wondering what happened to the eastern shore
I'm sure both of them were very angry
/s
Even ODU left it off a recent giveaway t-shirt.
You in CC? I used to work there a little while back
Our business leader lives in Eastville. So we have had events and stuff on the shore. Played golf at Cape Charles last summer.
What, and I can't stress this enough, the actual fuck?
It's so bad, what the fuck
That cavman has strong ventriloquist dummy vibes:
I mean have you ever met a Hoo that you didn't think loved having a hand up their ass?
Yes, most like two
Ahh, the eclectic French couture in the form goatse. How very fashion forward of them.
Looks like a 3rd graders art project
It's very appropriate for this year's competition, which will likely be the determining the last place Coastal team.
Only problem is, a Trophy this ugly should definitely go to the loser.
That's definitely a trophy.
Obviously designed by committee.
This deserves more legs.
three words that every engineer dreads
That looks like a starved Hokie bird is fighting a crackheaded pimp for the last chicken leg
cavman looks like an emaciated bulldog.
Are VT and UVA the only schools in the clash? Some other schools in VA may actually do better. But besides that "wtf"? Both schools are on the trophy. Even if Tech wins, the hooman is still on the trophy. (And vice versa). I wouldn't want that s@@@
Call me petty but I only want it so they can't have it. "Oh look I have your shitty action figure, and her comes Barbie." Barbie gives a glance to both of them before siding with the Hokie bird, obviously. "I wonder what this magnifying glass would do." OK fine I looked it up, Magnifying glasses can only get to about 450F while bronze's melting point is around 1600F. So off to find an acetylene torch.
Because it's a clash, not a group grope.
This is our thing. The others can have their thing.
And by the way, VT is going to get better than what we've seen recently, so this shouldn't have to even be a question.
Since we always play at Thanksgiving, they should be pulling on a wish bone with the state outline behind it.
Slenderhokie vs The Waghoul
It is close to halloween.
It's Fugley as shit
Looks like shit. Enough said. Oh stupid!
WTF am I looking at? I ate a very potent gummy a few hours ago and this might give me nightmares. Hokiebird at least looks like he does more pushups.
OW! OW! MY EYES! MY EYES1
Go Hoadkies
I thought winning this thing was supposed to be a reward, not some scarlet letter thing that needs to be displayed for all to see. Sheesh.
Let's get gory like the commonwealth flag, make it Pharrell holding a coal miner's pick axe over this shoulder, and a bag of oysters in the other. He's standing over James Madison's dead body. Put the VT and UVA logos on a ribbon on the bottom.
Voila!
