Title: Engraving of the Cup
Post by: Rampsation on September 29, 2019, 02:29:44 PM
In 2017 the engraving was IMHO a really poor standard job. Can the club actually stuff out some money and get this cup properly engraved. The clubs premiership trophies need to engraved properly and looked after. Lets hope this cup doesnt do a tour where what it represents got disrespected like what happened in 2017.

The existing engraving looks more centred this time with respect to the gold leaves.

I was actually referring to the engraving of Richmond on the 2017 cup. It was really poorly done. Hopefully
They will go as better job next time.

Good to hear, the 2017 cup looks like it was banged in by a year 9 metalwork student

At a glance it looks like they have shifted the Richmond imprint a smidgen to the right. I think this aligns better.
The spacing is more even on the 2019 and more in line with the spacing between the preexisting text.
This confirms Ramps theory that the 2017 cup was knocked in by northern suburbs panel beater.

Probably a Geelong or Norf supporting panel beater.

does anyone know if its even possible to fix the engraving of RICHMOND on the 2017 cup. Comparing it to our 2019 engraving the 2017 cup engraving is a disgrace. The guy who did it must have been peeed when he was engraving it. It irks me that our drought breaking premiership cup looks terrible because of the crap engraving job.

There are better photos out there of each and the 2019 is streets ahead in terms of placement and engraving quality.
It appears the bootstudder can't multitask  :shh

Modern RFC supporter first world problem!!

10 years ago I wouldnt have given a stuff if Richmond was written on by a texter, so distant was the prospect of a cup in our hands at that time!!!

Modern supporter I wish lol … been a Richmond man for close to 50 years and a member for more years than I care to remember. Richmond people should never again accept mediocrity and the engraving of Richmond was a very bad job.

Thanks Ramps. I was more wondering when we can take the kids down to hold the cup. Like they allowed us to do in 2017.

IF any letter is "dodgy" it's the N...though if you notice, the N in "WON" also appears to be longer at it's point... :shh

One of my favourite times of the year is critiquing the quality of the engraving on our premiership cup.  Long let it continue!!

The 2019 and 2020 Premiership Cups were properly engraved. They should take the 2021 Premiership Cup to tbe same engravers. :lol
