                No, they don't replace any of the rings. They add a new one. The origional Stanley Cup was just the very top "cup" part and has been added to and added to over the years.

                  Nope. SPTO was correct.

                  - It takes 13 years to fill the ring of the Stanley Cup with names of winners
                  - Once a bottom ring is full, another one of the same size is removed from the top of the base and retired at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto

                      Hmmm. I heard a different story. I stand corrected.

                        The World Cup
                        "The world’s most sought-after sporting trophy, the FIFA World Cup, is just 36 centimetres tall (14 inches) and weighs 4,970 grams (10.95 lbs).
                        It is made of 18-carat gold.
                        The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachite and has room for 17 plaques.

                        The present trophy was created by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga in the early 1970s after Brazil, having won the ttle three times (1958, 1962 and 1970), was allowed to keep the original Jules Rimet Cup.

                        Franz Beckenbauer, was the first captain to lift the new trophy when Germany's triumphed in 1974.
                        Under present regulations, ownership of the World Cup trophy remains with FIFA - even if a team wins the title three times."

                        Personally, I think the OLD World Cup is the best trophy.

                          The current World Cup could be the ugliest trophy I have ever seen.

                              At least those three trophies have shape and definition. The World Cup trophy just looks like someone bronzed and gold-plated a pile of crap.

                                I suppose if you like a plaque that looks like it was made in a junior high woodshop, or maybe a gravy boat, sure. Again, just my opinion.
