A Cup the Crew Should Win Every Year

The front offices of the both the Crew and Toronto F.C. are giddy with excitement over their latest idea: A cup for the winner of the Crew/TFC 3 game series every year. From TFA (The Fookin' Article):

We think that March 29th is the start of something big. Columbus and Toronto FC will play three times over the course of the season, and with Toronto as our closest geographical opponent (six hours is nothing in a car), we want to raise the stakes. We'll put our head to head record on the line to see who comes out on top at the end of the season.

First, six hours is not "nothing". That's a long time to be stuck in a car. Second, when I go to Chicago or DC, I don't have to cross an international border. So while Toronto may be "close", it's no where near the easiest city to get to. So I don't know how good of a rivalry this is going to be for Crew fans, since we'll have to get passports when we want to go.

That said, here are some suggestions for naming the cup/trophy/wooden shoe. If you come up with something better, submit it at the link I posted earlier in the article:

The Butter Bacon Trophy:
Canada has bacon; Ohio has butter. This trophy will allow the MLS PR department to use the phrase "heart-stopping action" when describing the rivalry, even though that phrase will be referencing the caloric values of both foods. Still, if we could tie an eating contest onto this sum'bitch, I'd love to watch.

The Great Lakes Plate
Ohio and Toronto sit on the Great Lakes. Also, "The Great Lakes Plate" sounds like a seafood platter you could find in a local restaurant in either Columbus or Toronto. Why does this keep going back to food?

The Builder's Cup
My buddy Derrick actually suggested this. Since Columbus and Toronto were the first to build soccer-specific stadiums in their respective countries, this actually makes sense.

The Border Bell, presented by Taco Bell
Again food, I know. But I'm thinking that since Ohio and Toronto both kind of border the other country, we make it a border war theme. Then I thought a bell would be cool, just because everyone has a cup or trophy. But who has a bell? Coolness factor of 1 billion for that. And since Honda sponsors the Superclassico, why can't we get a sponsor?

And finally,

The "We Needed a Reason to Get You to Come to the Game Between Two of the Worst Teams in MLS, So We Came Up With This Stupid Rivalry Game" Trophy

Kinda has a nice ring to it...
