Should the unique trophy reward for the number 1 player at the end of the season be given away to everyone at a later date? It's an exclusive item, so it should be in violation of your rule. Or perhaps rewards take on a different connotation within the context of an actual competition? As a compromise, I wouldn't mind if they gave out reskinned versions of the top 100 rewards at a later date in exchange for a decent sum of wolf collars.

I think that the top 100 see their prize as a trophy of sorts rather than just a typical reward that doesn't involve competition. At least the original colors should stay exclusive to those who actually earned them as a trophy for the competitive season. Otherwise, you may as well give the number 1 trophy away as well. That's ultimately what the top 100 rewards are - trophies. The exclusivity of the item proves season placement. It's just that in a videogame, you get to be a lot more creative with how you design a trophy.
