"But it is what it is. I can't change the trophy, so I have to take it."
"Immediately, Kane was hit with jokes comparing the cannon-shaped trophy to an Arsenal badge. In case you're out of the loop, Arsenal are the eternal enemies of Tottenham, and the two play the North London Derby twice every year. For Kane, both teams carry a special significance, because he actually played for the Arsenal youth all the way back in 2001."
"To be fair to him, the Bundesliga top scorer award being shaped like that is a bit of an anomaly. The other top 5 leagues don't have anything similar. In Italy, the top scorer award is called the Capocannoniere, but the trophy is not suitably cannon-shaped."
Harry Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich in summer 2023 and later won the Bundesliga top scorer award, known as the Torjägerkanone, which is shaped like a cannon. Jokes compared the trophy to an Arsenal badge because Arsenal and Tottenham are long-time rivals in the North London Derby. Kane had played for Arsenal’s youth system starting in 2001, giving the comparison extra personal relevance. Kane commented that there had been talk about the trophy’s resemblance and that he could not change it, so he would accept it. The cannon-shaped design is unusual compared with other top European leagues’ top scorer awards, such as Italy’s Capocannoniere.
