The FA Cup Trophy is a trophy, presented at the end of the FA Cup Final. Traditionally, at Wembley finals, the presentation is made at the Royal Box, with players, led by the captain, mounting a staircase to a gangway in front of the box and returning by a second staircase on the other side of the box. At Cardiff the presentation was made on a podium on the pitch. The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team, but during the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. This tradition was ended by the Football Association in 2013 at the behest of an American brewery which was sponsoring the competition that year, when the winners, Wigan Athletic, were presented with a trophy dressed in sky blue and red ribbons bearing the sponsor's name and logo, rather than their club colours of royal blue and white. The present FA Cup trophy is the five. The first, the 'little tin idol', was made by ''Martin, Hall & Co'' at a cost of £20〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The FA Cup & Competitions: The Trophies )〕 and used from the inception of the Cup in 1871–72 until it was stolen from a Birmingham shoe shop window belonging to William Shillcock while held by Aston Villa on 11 September 1895 and was never seen again.〔 The FA fined Villa £25 to pay for a replacement.〔 Almost 60 years later, the thief admitted that the cup had been melted down to make counterfeit half-crown coins.〔〔The Sunday Times ''Illustrated History of Football'' Reed International Books Limited. 1996. p11. ISBN 1-85613-341-9〕 The second trophy was a replica of the first and was last used in 1910 before being presented to the FA's long-serving president Lord Kinnaird.〔 It was sold at Christie's on 19 May 2005 for £420,000 (£478,400 including auction fees and taxes) to David Gold, the then joint chairman of Birmingham City. Gold has loaned this trophy to the National Football Museum which is now based in Manchester and it is on permanent display to the public. A new, larger, trophy was bought by the FA in 1911 designed and manufactured by Fattorini's of Bradford and won by Bradford City in its first outing.〔 This trophy still exists but is now too fragile to be used, so an exact replica was made by Toye, Kenning and Spencer〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Great British Designers & Craftsmen for over three centuries )〕 and has been in use since the 1992 final. A "backup" trophy was made alongside the existing trophy in 1992, but it has not been used so far, and will only be used if the current trophy is lost, damaged or destroyed. A smaller, but otherwise identical replica was also made by Fattorini, the North Wales Coast FA Cup trophy, and is contested annually by members of that regional Association. A new trophy identical in design to the 1911 is now currently in use as of 2014.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FA Cup trophy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
