The footballs used in American football in the 1920s were considerably more ovoid and blunter than those in use today and similar to the balls still used in rugby; the trophy thus, to modern eyes, more resembles an egg than a football.
Good thing that early footballs didn't look similar to a horse turd, then.
I shudder to think of two proud SEC teams fighting in the Golden Horse Turd Bowl.
