King of Rings

I feel as though I’ve seen Brian Urlacher wearing his NFC champions ring during interviews. Some players are still proud of how far they got and how close they came. If I ever got a 2nd place ring I think I’d wear it too

That is not his Super Bowl ring. That looks like a replica. The detail on it is terrible. 

I'm not too impressed with Jostens these days. They keep rehashing old designs like crazy. The ring looks nice, but I'm a fan of having color in it. The Blackhawks first 2 rings were better. Especially the 2nd

That's literally the Seahawks ring with an Eagles logo. Not that unique by any means. I don't like how everyone keeps reusing designs these days.

Usually the NHL has a ring ceremony the first home game of the season like the Kings did for their first ring, but Chicago had a private one last time shortly before the season started, so we will have to wait for the Blackhawks new ring a while longer.

That 2002 Red Wings ring is my all time favorite ring. Not even a fan of the wings, but that ring gets an A+++ in my book. My top three would have to be

1) 2002 Red Wings

2) 1978 Steelers

3) 2001 Patriots

As a steelers fan I love it, but I must admit they had the most basic looking rings (aside from SB XIII ring) of the decade. Especially after winning four in only six years. I do like that '74 ring tho. Simple yet affective.

I've got replicas of them all but I'd love to have the real ones some day.

Do you think they'll put a bomb on the shank for how bad they blew it?

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

It's still one hell of an accomplishment tho. Many players go full careers winning multiple Super Bowls but never win league MVP. In a way it can be much more difficult to win

I have five of the Chinese replicas. Overall I'd say they are pretty good. There are definitely some differences and the size of the rings may be off, but overall they are good pieces to display for guests, family, or even just to collect. I'm happy with mine and plan on getting a few more in the future. WARNING if you get one of the gold rings that uses brass as a base metal then prepare for your ring to bleed through. The brass comes through the gold plating. It only takes about 6 months to a year for that to happen and some rings are worse than others. If I could post pics on here I'd show you exactly what I mean, but basically you will have a brass colored ring. I recommend paying the extra money for a solid sterling silver ring instead of white gold if you have the option

Are those the high end replicas from china? Cuz some of those look really good

No no I can't afford to be in the ring game. I was just curious because some of these stanley cup rings far exceed Super Bowl rings in recent years. 2002 & 2008 Redwings, both Blackhawks rings, Bruins ring, and penguins ring are just some examples. Only recent rings I don't care for too much are the Kings two rings, but other than that I feel the NHL has the NFL beat in recent years

Hey Sports-Rings, do you own any Stanley Cup rings?

Wow I never new that, dralec. Thanks for that. That guy needs to get back in the swing of things and make some new designs. That 2002 Red Wings ring has been one of my favorite championship rings of all time. And no I'm not a Wings fan.

Jostens has done this before. If you look at the Broncos '98, Falcons NFC '98, Rams '99, Titans AFC '99, Ravens '00, and Patriots '01 rings they are all the same design as well. The ring itself has the same design template but the face of the rings change slightly. It's happened with other rings too! That specific design is just one example and it's not limited to the NFL. One of the Colorado Avalanche rings used it and so did quite a few NCAA teams.

I don't know why Jostens does this but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. Most of those rings look really good. Even if they are the same design.

It looks too much like a home plate in baseball. Ehh idk if I like it

Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I was so disappointed thinking that was the real ring lol

Anyone seen the article on the UCONN men's bball rings? How extremely disappointing. Those are some of the most boring bland rings I've seen. I still can't figure out how to post pics so just google it, but compared to their '11 rings these are very underwhelming.

Sports-rings you never cease to amaze me with your blog posts. so thankful to have a guy like you in the ring community! best posts ever! someday I'd like to see all of your rings in one photograph lol. Nobody would be able to compete with you

Anyone know when the UCONN huskies will get their NCAA mens bball rings?

That pic of the steelers rings is actually an oldie. It's Lynn Swann and Hines Ward standing next to eachother. Still a great pic tho

I'm from the Hartford CT area. Hence the logo. Keeping the memory alive. I'm also a Steelers fan, (6 Super Bowls) a Flyers fan, (2 Stanley Cups) and a UCONN men's bball fan (4 National Championships) that's 12 rings combined. My pic shouldn't reflect anything other than I'll always be a Whalers fan at heart.

I'm looking more for something that is made for large rings. Like an actual ring display box. I found a few on google that look the part. That idea you have is good tho, but I think it's a bit too big
