How it's used
Originally referring to a banner made of brocade awarded to victors, the term has evolved to represent any major trophy or championship title. It carries a slightly more formal or grand tone compared to the common word 獎盃, which specifically refers to a cup-shaped trophy. You will often hear it used in the context of professional sports leagues or major competitions.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 獎牌, which specifically refers to a medal. Use 錦標 for a trophy or championship title, but stick to 獎牌 if you are talking about the gold, silver, or bronze medals worn around the neck.
