We design and make sports most iconic trophies, from the Emirates FA Cup to the Rugby World Cup. Each piece represents the pinnacle of sporting achievement.
In 2025, we brought that legacy to Rocket League. BLAST named us Official Silverware Partner of the Rocket League Championship Series. As a result, we have been commissioned to design and handcraft a trophy for each of the season’s three Majors, including a full suite of custom medals.
The RLCS Birmingham Major trophy was conceived as a bold, tangible expression of esports’ rising prestige. Increasingly, the world’s most forward-thinking organisers are moving beyond simple or decorative awards, recognising that esports’ elite deserve silverware with real craft, meaning and permanence.
By partnering with Thomas Lyte, RLCS have joined the charge in setting a new standard for what it means to celebrate excellence in the virtual arena. In doing so, they have joined a growing movement that honours esports champions with traditions and ceremony long associated with mainstream sport.
The trophy was made entirely by hand at Thomas Lyte’s London workshop, where our master goldsmiths and silversmiths combined centuries-old techniques with cutting-edge technology. A sterling silver body, enhanced with 24-carat gold accents, was shaped through a meticulous process of spinning, casting, filing and polishing.
Engraved tournament branding and precision finishing ensured every detail was true to the RLCS identity. Advanced 3D prototyping enabled us to realise the trophy’s intricate silhouette while preserving the integrity and quality that defines all Thomas Lyte silverware.
