As the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/psl-pakistan-super-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSL 2024</a> or PSL 9 is about to kick off, the focus was on the newly designed Pakistan Super League Trophy that was unveiled in Lahore. The trophy was unveiled in the presence of Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi, franchise owners, HBL representatives, and star cricketers.<o:p></o:p>
Unlike other T20 leagues, which have a permanent trophy design, the Pakistan Super League is known to have a new design in almost every single edition of the tournament. The PSL trophy is more than simply an accolade; it is, in many respects, the most important T20 trophy a cricket team can win in Pakistan, given how popular the PSL has become over the last eight years.<o:p></o:p>
We that in mind, today we take a look at all the evolution of PSL trophy designs over the years from 2016-2024. <o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">Here is the history of Pakistan Super League Trophy designs over the years:<o:p></o:p></h3>

The PSL 1 trophy was a rather simple one. The trophy was designed by Swarovski and named the Shooting Star trophy. It had three pillars that supported a star at the top and the pillars were posted on a strong base. The trophy symbolized the launch of PSL and encapsulated the hope and positive spirit of the tournament. <o:p></o:p>
The PSL 1 trophy was unveiled in the presence of captains and officials of all five franchises. This was a dream come true for the Pakistan Cricket Board, who previously tried to launch the league in 2014 and 2015, but the quality of the bids meant the PCB decided to put it on hold. Islamabad United won the inaugural PSL trophy under the captaincy of Misbah Ul Haq. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">2. PSL 2017<o:p></o:p></h3>

It was encrusted with 50,000 crystals and was designed by Swarovski. The trophy encapsulated Pakistan’s hope and aspiration with the PSL’s vision of cricket. Sitting on the pinnacle was the Shooting Star, a multi-faceted crystal sculpture made with precision-cut technology.
It took four months from approval to final product including renderings and mock-ups to the final product. The 'Spirit Trophy' acknowledged a nation's patriotism. It was inspired by the brilliance of the universe; the trophy's central core resembled a galaxy of stars, with a shooting star above and a golden crescent behind it.<o:p></o:p>
