Underrated Title Designs In Wrestling?

[Rosie]

The name of the thread says it all. There have been plenty of championship belts which have been praised like crazy (and the opposite) such as the classic "Big Gold," the Winged Eagle and Big Eagle WWF titles, to the white strapped IC title and even some like the AEW World Championship have received mostly great praise. But what is one championship belt you think gets overlooked in terms of being a great design?

I'll go with a set of titles that I really think are underrated.

First, the old ROH World Championship before TK switched to the classic design, and the ROH World Women's title which keeps the same main design.

Spoiler

Something about the design just screams "Prestigious" and gives me vibes of the Big Gold belt mixed with the WWE Undisputed Title with a modern twist.

Then I'll do two from oddly enough, IMPACT Wrestling today/recent.

The first is the Impact Tag Team Championships. Now the title has had two designs in this modern look with one being blue and the other red, but the tag team title I'll go with blue.

Spoiler

Then the X Division Championship, except that one I give the nod to its red trim, but both colours work.

Spoiler

I feel those two titles have futursitic vibes which is odd yet really works. The red trim gives a gritty feel while the blue is more clean, so take it or leave it.

On that note: What title designs you find underrated?

Prefer the Xdivision Red the most. The blue one looks too flat.

MLW has some really nice titles. They got a nice prestige feel to them.

Speaking of ROH, I really dig the TV title. Like it's pretty simple, but everything looks great, and goes well together. I feel like it pops.

I feel like I'm the only person who really liked the old WWE Tag Team Championship design.
At least every time I see a "Best Title Belt Design" list or some Belt Tier lists, it ranks very low and I think it's a shame.

Which one? The Smackdown era WWE tag team championships or the "Pennies"

The blue ones from 2002 onwards. I put a pic in my previous post.

I was thinking, if it was the Pennies, I would have thought you were crazy! But those titles were pretty decent. Similar shape to the old World Tag Team Championships but updated with more gold and a blue trim. I didn't mind them at all and looked like a title you'd want to win. Good choice.

Spoiler

I like the Raw ones from that era too after they updated the attitude era designs. Not the biggest fan of the attitude era tag titles themselves in comparison either

 

[Death By Looch]

I guess these belts ain't that high on anyone's list because the Tag scene was also kinda flat all the time back then and also kinda all over the place. ...even with champions like the World's Greatest Tag Team or Londrick.

Hulk Hogan's 1986 WWF Championship. That fucker looked so god damn smooth.

You know WHAT, I'm going to add a very controversal take here. This championship design is pretty decent and the only issue it had was what it represented.

Spoiler

That is right, the WWECW Championship. The silver could take it or leave it, but the shape, the phoenix design, the almost sunburst design behind it all look pretty dang nice. The only issue was the three letters on the front. Because it represented ECW leaving its roots and being a husk of its former self only really being good as a proto-NXT. But the design itself was good. Like imagine it in gold, not ECW, it'd be a respectable title belt.
