Understanding Vhett Trophy Shields
At Vhett, we know some of our designs look very similar to the originals. This page will detail all the differences we have added to make sure our products can easily be distinguished.

The first and most distinct detail is the name plate. Most trophy shields have a name plate. A typical name plate may include the following information:
- The Location of the Tournament (関西大会) [Kansai Tournament]
- The division the winner was in (ジュニアリーグ) [Juniors League]
- The place they earned (第三位) [Third Place]
All Vhett name plates will instead have the following information.
- Replica Shield (レプリカシールド)
- Prize Card ( 賞品 カード)

Another key difference is the font of the "Congratulations!" text. The Vhett font is thinner and has an additional shadow layer. On original displays the name plate is separate from the rest of the art so it can be removed or swapped. Vhett displays, however, are all one piece.
Finally each design has multiple characteristics changed from the original design. For the Miracle Diamond example, the change was the dot pattern which covers the entire design. The Vhett design features dots which are far more pronounced as well as a bolder and brighter color. We increased the contrast of the Battle Road logo and has much larger changes in the opacity of the frame.
We strive to protect the integrity of original trophy displays, so we have made multiple subtle changes to each design to make them 100% differentiable while still preserving the overall feel.
