I like the continuity between this ring and the others (much like the Raiders have done). Please save that for a different thread. Let's just talk rings here.
The "stars" on the Steelers ring are astroids, which mimic their logo. Hypocycloids A hypocycloid with four cusps is called an astroid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroid
I did not realize players received a ring when they won the Heisman. Sims' ring is really nice. Are all the rings of a similar design or have they grown bigger and more flashy over the years (like championship rings)?
As ugly today as it was when it was issued. Years ago, I was chatting it up with a scout for the Braves who was wearing his '95 WS ring. As we talked rings, he said that his friends on the Marlins' staff didn't wear their 2003 ring because it was so unwieldy. I guess bigger is not always better.
Perhaps, but right now it is all I notice. Last week I saw a guy wearing a red soccer jersey that had AON as the sponsor. I have seen these jerseys before, but I have no idea which team it is (I don't follow soccer, so maybe the rest of the world knows). I guess AON is getting their money's worth.
DIAMOND BACKS That wordmark is atrocious design. It is tough to get it right using the keyboard, but would you want the Knicks going with this: K N I C K erbockers
