I say keep the trophy name as it is. Short, slippery slopes can take one from "Norris Trophy" to the "XYZ Corporation Defensive Player of the Year" trinket.

What ever you do, Eric, do NOT bandy about your fear of the Norris Trophy morphing to "XYZ Corporation Defensive Player of the Year". The wrong ears are liable to start smiling and going "HMMM" with that dreaded musical tone that means "hey, I like the sound of that; wait 'til I tell the boss about MY new idea! He'll latch on to it, it'll happen, and I'll get a big raise and promotion." -- Brian Powell

Hopefully, the boss will tell him, “…that’s the worst idea since FoxTrax. Trust me, kid, I was there. The nightmares still haven’t gone away.”
