My ideas so far:

A 1st place trophy item with the clan's logo/name either worn on the top of
the head like a crown or held in the hand.

A Guitar worn on the back with the clan's logo/name and their desired colors.

A Hoodie with the clan's logo/name and their desired colors.

A Champion's helmet like from Magic:The Gathering but without the hangy down bits.

An Armband, like the GM armband that has the clan's logo/name and it's desired colors.

Hmmm...
Maybe a little version of Hampa sitting on either the player's shoulder like a parrot or on the player's head?
Of course there would be different positions like maybe his legs crossed sitting down or if it's on the head maybe have his legs dangling down?

Another thing...
Just thought of another item. The legendary spear Gungnir.
Maybe worn on the back of the tori? I don't know were else it could be put..

-----
Wow i'm on a roll...
Another weapon type item (Seeing as this is an event item based around fighting.)
A golden battle ax worn on the back of the tori. Could maybe even engrave the clan's logo/name on it? Maybe?...

-----
Please stop me... I think I have a problem.
Maybe a king chess piece on top of the player's head?

I'm thinking of a fitbit type item? Have it wore around the arm?

Oh I like that idea. Probably easy to make as well.
Another item idea...
Ninja Stars that have the clan's logo/name in the middle of it.
Probably put on the sides of the hips. maybe holstered.

U guys remember that wicked spiked helm made for thatweapon event that never got finished and it was canceled?
Somebody post a pic of that. It looks nice and it's already made. So you can wrap this up. Thx ;)
Sweet helmet that was.
But yeah. A skull helmet, a helmet and other variation seem like a good idea.

Viking, roman, wood, iron, gold, etc.
We don't have helmets in tb so far.

To be honest I'm not really in support of this, I think clans in the semi-finals should just have to get their ideas for the item ready, then submit it if they win. If they don't have their idea ready in time then the IF team can procrastinate doing their item as long as they want. Its the clan's fault if they don't have it done in time, IF team shouldn't have to adjust their schedule because the winning clan wasn't ready when the item forgers were.

For my actual ideas though for this event I would suggest:

A simple armband like the old GM arm band, its simple, but a very nice spot to wear your ego.

We had the swag hat come out a bit ago, having your own version of that made could be cool. Just a swag cap with the clan's logo on the front and then put the clan's name on top of the hat's bill.

Golden Nike Sweat bands, need I say more?

I heard someone mention that we could do anchor points now. If thats true, then having clan flags that anchor to the ground and not the tori would be cool. Having your clan's flag behind you in the ground as you fight.

Victory medals with a ribbon coming off of them, attached the one of the pecs.

the issue does not lay within the winning clan, but the historical activity of the item forgers themselves

you must remember, there are virtually no modelers within the community worthy of being an item forger, so the ones we got are pretty much the ones we have to bank on being active to make the items 4-5 months down the line when the clan league comes to an end

if you look back to the past clan leagues, virtually every clan who's won has received their item vastly later than promised do to the item forgers having gone inactive by the end, which in most cases, is hard to avoid/prevent

the whole reason we've come up with this system is to capitalize on the current activity within the item forgers, which is a miraculous sight, really

I like the idea of a skull helmet I think that could potentially be really awesome. I was also thinking maybe a headband or armband from one of those cheesy Kung Fu movies of some sort that says the clans name and CL 2K16 CHAMPS or in it.

How about you make the prize a championship ring?

maybe give them an armor or somthing ?
