Several different physical trophies have had the name, as a club was entitled to keep the cup after five wins or three consecutive wins, with a new cup having to be forged for the following season. Celtic therefore became the first club to win the cup in its current design in Subsequent replacement trophies have replicated this design. Milan was the last team to win this type of trophy.

From —07 to —11the title holders also played with the match ball used in their triumphant final in their home matches, but from —12the title holders use the same match ball as the 31 The Trophy of Champions teams. The original design for the title-holder badge featured two of the interconnecting stars of the competition's star ball logo at the top, with the caption "champions" and the The Trophy of Champions of triumph in the centre of the badge. It was slightly modified in —09 to feature the entirety of the star ball logo, albeit with the other stars faded out, and it was drastically changed for the —10 competition.
