2020 Los Angeles Lakers ring:

Looks like the 49ers got their NFC rings

Has anyone seen the 2019 49ers NFC championship rings? 

 

I have yet to see a clear image of the 2018 Rams rings. If these teams are so ashamed of a conference championship ring why doesn't the NFL simply stop awarding them?

It is weird that the 3 most recent AFC/NFC rings have been harder to see. You’d think they’d show up in an auction but that hasn’t  happened yet. 

Bob Gibson wearing a Cardinals pullover (and sporting sideburns). The 60s era button down flannels is how he’s often remembered. 
 

Seattle Sounders MLS Cup Rings have been awarded:

Personal accomplishment rings are not standard but also not unheard of. Here is Lucas Giolito’s ring for pitching a no-hitter:

Another ring tease:

Chiefs Super Bowl rings coming tomorrow? This is from a member of their communications staff:

Oregon Football’s Pac-12 and Rose Bowl rings:

Here we are in 2020 expressing how dated this crest will look in 5 years. This club won't play its first match for another 2.5 years. Unless they decide to rebrand before they even start, this will be the identity of the club for possibly the next decade at least. 

It’s more the contrast of the arch. If Arch Steel is a color, use it. All of the lines running together creates a very muddied look. 

I would have preferred this:

How badly did Real Salt Lake screw up to not be Salt Lake City FC?

I've wondered that with all the Citys in the league. Is NYCFC "City"? I think of them as NYC; "Pigeons" is great but doesn't seem to be much more than a meme. Orlando has pretty clearly leaned into the Lions thing as a short identifier. These guys could be a "City", maybe, can't see a better option. "Come on you Arches" doesn't quite work. The magenta and blue is kinda clunky too.

 

 

STLCSC. Somewhere, a scorebug designer weeps.

I don’t think of NYCFC as “City,” but the majority owners also own Manchester City and I do think of them as “City.” Feels like, to me at least, that St. Louis is forcing its way onto another club’s turf. 
 

I might be overthinking it. 

Their social media hashtags have capitalized CITY. I wonder if it’s an attempt to make that an official/unofficial name in MLS. Bold play if they are since NYCFC is part of the “City” team of the EPL. 

More colors coming on the kit?

Yet again, a generic name that's already used enough repeatedly in the league. This doesn't feel like the right path for MLS to take, to me. Made considerably worse by the specific fraughtness of STL's city/county dynamic.

 

I do like the logo, even though it feels like it will get dated quickly. Interesting choice on the red, hopefully that plus a good jersey design will set them off from Chicago, Dallas and RSL.

THIS. It is not a good badge. Having the arch in there makes sense. I really think they should have worked in the Apotheosis of Saint Louis. 

I like the name. The badge is over complicated. 

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Grey Cup ring:

I don't know. Saying "collective SPIRIT" has me wondering. Although, I don't know the trademark situation in regards to that name, so it's purely speculation on my part.

Good point

If posts like these continue, could we be looking at Saint Louis City?

Looking at the list again I just noticed the last one. I can’t believe they’re considering calling them the Brewers! I mean, we have a big brewery, and a good microbrewer community here, but still...

There is no way they can select the nickname of a Cardinals rival.
