I posted about this right after we won the 'ship, but it's finally come together. I've been collecting plaques of the Courant's sports page since they started offering it in '99 (though I'm missing '04 unfortunately).
I didn't love the ugly options that the Courant's vendor is proving (2024 and 2023) so I engaged with a plaque-maker directly. I tried to recreate the feel of the 1999 plaque, which had this nice gold trim and a bit of an old school yellow hue applied to the newspaper image, seen below:
The order process has started. Final costs will be around $130 including shipping (I paid $127 last year), which is cheaper than the Courant. The dimensions are 13.5"x 26".
A few people have already contacted me in the DMs. I'll reach out to you directly with instructions about how to place your order. For anyone else interested, please DM me. Both this year and last year's plaques are available and I'll connect you to the sales associate I've been working with to place your order.
I'll attach the mockups in the next post.
