Clericus Cup Trophy - Nice Cappello Romano

Now that's a trophy! These are pictures of the trophy that went to the winner of last February's Clericus Cup, a soccer tournament in Rome for Seminaries and other Catholic Institutions. The best part is that there is a cappello romano (or saturno) on top of the Soccer Ball. For those of you who've never seen a cappello romano, check out the last two pictures on this post.
