The Alliance of American Football is a newly minted league trying to leave an impression on the eight communities with a new team. Starting a new team is hard. There's no immediate fan base and you need to build traditions from scratch. But I have an idea that can help two teams with building tradition. A rivalry trophy. Arizona and Utah are two of the states in the "four corners" region of the US, as well as having local colleges competing in the Pac-12, it's only natural that the Arizona Hotshots and Salt Lake Stallions form an organic rivalry based on their geographic location. I believe that a rivalry trophy based on the four corners monument would be a fun way of getting the teams and communities into the game. I propose the "Four Corners Trophy", a miniature version of the Four Corners monument that Salt lake and Arizona will compete for in their two rivalry games each season.

I believe the rules of the rivalry series for the trophy should be as follows:

1. If a team sweeps the two games they get the trophy for the season.

2. If the series ends up tied, point differential will decide who wins the trophy

3. If the point differential is even, no one wins the trophy

This is a surefire way of exciting the fan bases and I hope both teams take the opportunity to make a tradition.
