Here's a ring I haven't seen before. Last years Kansas basketball big 12 championship ring. The 10 on top stands for 10 straight conference championships. This thing looks huge!

NOT MINE, I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THIS PRODUCT OR SELLER, but you can now buy...

Replica AFC/NFC Trophies

Get one before the NFL sends its cease and desist letters, folks!

I got a Lombardi trophy from this guy and the quality is good. These look nice as well

Here's the actual FIBA ring the players received today. Another generic Joatens design.

Here's the rings the USA FIBA team will be receiving for their win.

yeah I'm pretty sure the NFL doesn't have a say in the design of the rings. The only thing the NFL does is dish out the $5000 for the cost of the rings. I thought the 2011AFC ring was a good design.

I'm curious as to what the Seahawks NFC ring will look like too

Well they used tiffanys for the super bowl so my guess is they'll use them again but has tiffanys ever made a conference ring?

So how big will the Patriots rings be???

Designs of the Next Super Bowl ring - Diamond Cutters International is one of four companies bidding to create the next Super Bowl ring

Could one of these Championship Ring designs wind up being the next Super Bowl ring?

Yes, one of these two Championship Ring designs shown above could be the next Super Bowl ring, if Houston based Diamond Cutters International wins the selection process.

Of all the championship rings I have ever seen, in my humble opinion (and many in the jewelry and championship ring market-place agree), the design and making of the shanks (the sides) of the last Diamond Cutters International Super Bowl ring was awful - The Broncos Super Bowl XXXII ring.

The Following year, after the Broncos repeated as World Champions, they awarded the Super Bowl ring contract to Jostens. Perhaps it's possible they were not thrilled with the quality of the ring sides. In my opinion, the ring sides were substantially improved when Jostens made the Super Bowl XXXIII ring for the Broncos.

Check out my blog if you would like additional details on this story.

Yes both of those designs are Terrible. But I'm sure Jostens or Tiffanys will get the contract deciding who wins.

New edition to my collection. Didn't even know this ring existed until it was offered to me. 2002 Wisconsin basketball big ten champions

I see it says "Ryan" on the left side...I assume this is some sort of replica?

No real deal just not Bo Ryan's was a staff person.

I finally know what the new AFC & NFC trophies remind me of...

That's very funny!

And I feel that there is irony in the fact that the Patriots last three AFC trophies (2014, 2011, 2007) will be of a football with no air inside the football!

Love both of these

Well the old trophy better fit my whole packers tattoo. The new one just didn't quite fit with everything else.

this is how much I like the old trophy.

Perhaps.

I'd be really interested in knowing how many NFL fans even realized the trophies had been changed, and could have remembered what the old ones looked like if they did. There may not be a single trophy downplayed quite so much as the conference champions.

I think your die hard fans notices the difference. I noticed it right away in 2010 when the packers won it.

I disagree.. the old trophies where way better than the new ones. The new ones are plain and boring and small. Watching the post game stuff yesterday the trophy tended get lost in the crowd because it was small.

While I understand they wanted to kind of reflect the Lombardi trophy with the new ones there's something to be said about keep the heritage of the game.

Just thinking of the 4 teams still standing for a super bowl ring, if they would to pick the same ring supplier as their last ring that's 3 different companies so possibly some interesting new designs.

Packers and Patriots-Jostens

Seahawks-Tiffanys

Colts-Herff-Jones

Not only that but look at the Date of the invoice for Lew Anderson's ring.. It's dated 1964... why two years later?

Fascinating Tidbits Uncovered about the 1962 Green Bay Packers Championship Ring

Slidekellyslide, a moderator and contributor on Net54baseball.com, posted images of paperwork he found inside a Green Bay Packer scouting report he owns. What he uncovered is amazing:

I had mentioned previously that you may want to check out the net54baseball.com forum, where championship rings are discussed.

The ring paperwork above is for this Jostens ring (check out the design of this ring, it is quite different than the Super Bowl rings and football championship rings of today!

If you would like to learn what secrets were uncovered, you can check out my blog or, you can visit the championship ring forum at Net54baseball.com

If you sign up at net54baseball.com you can post pictures without the hassle of finding a host for the photos and contribute with the thousands of members who frequent that site (the majority of them visit the vintage sports memorabilia sections)

Didn't even realize that the image on the side of the ring is the same one I have tattooed on me. The packers don't use this much any more. But if you look you'll see two dots on the state one for Green Bay and the other is Milwaukee.

While Peyton won the super bowl, he doesn't actually own the ring any more as he gave it to his mom after he received it.

My understanding is that anyone who wasn't on the 1961 club had the option of purchasing a ring. So while still very rare, it may not have been the only one.

The photo of the paperwork clearly states that the Packers ordered 55 rings before Lew's order was written up.

I guess this means that Lew's 1961 ring is not the only ring (unless the Packers cancelled the order and went with watches). If the order did go through, and I can't see why it would have been cancelled, then there appear to have been at least 56 rings made.

That seems like a lot of people, purchasing their own championship ring, so perhaps the Packers offered a ring or a watch to members of the organization.

Could be. Never seen any other ring other than this one. Even from players you never see it.

Let's not forget that this is the only 62 ring known to exist. The players got watches

Super Bowl Ring Design Predictions for 2015

Pictured below are the four last Super Bowl rings from the teams left in the playoffs. The rings pictured below offer strong clues as to what the two championship rings will look like for 2015.

There are endless predictions of who will win the Super Bowl. The guesses begin before the start of the season and go until moments before kickoff of the big game. Here's a twist on that, anyone on this board want to predict what features the two championship rings will have for the teams that earn a trip to Phoenix next week?

(Click picture below for a larger picture)

I wrote a blog with my predictions. If anyone wants to see what I wrote, you know where to find it.

Let me hear your predictions!

If the Patriots win I think you'll see the largest super bowl ring ever made.

This one is cool

I got that picture saved on my computer. Reminds me of Jerry Kramers picture.

The only Cowboys SB ring I don't like is this one...

All the others are great.

Not sure who made that ring but FSU copied it a year later. Maybe Jostens made both.
