NJTank Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Most NFL teams give them out during Mini camp or before training camp www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yeah, Tank's got it - they probably won't be presented to the players until June or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 All I know is that it will have the team logo set in the diamonds. I heard that unofficially somewhere. I look forward to seeing them, though, because in the past few years, only the Colts have looked tasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Giant XXI XXV XLII Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The Giants rings in the past have looked pretty well. My favorite is the XXV one with the two diamond footballs in the middle. The NY logo they brought back in 2000 would look good as the centerpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Giant XXI XXV XLII Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Here are the two previous rings. I would expect this third one to be consistent with its predecessors. XXI XXV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 They should hand them out in July towards the beginning of training camp.All I know is that I'm thrilled that two former Trojans (Umenyiora & Tynes) will be getting rings. I don't know if a similar instance has ever happened, that is where two players on one pro team that went to the same college won the Super Bowl.

BigDemonNyc Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Usually these things are handed out in June before camp as Tank mentioned. Although the Bears waited until August to hand out their NFC rings last year, I believe. Not exactly sure why.Anyhow, I came across this sketch of a prototype ring for the G-Men:It's a good start; I imagine it would look stunning in real gems. But today's rings are so intricate, this one seems almost too simple. Although I like simple better, since some of these rings look absurd.It's by Diamond Cutters International. They did the '95 Cowboys and '97 Broncos SB rings, along with the '98 Red Wings, '99 Stars, and the '00 Devils Stanley Cup Rings. Apparently these Giants rings are going to be set in pure platinum. I cant even imagine the cost.Here's an article from the NY Post that explains a little more about them:http://www.nypost.com/seven/02122008/news/..._blue_97209.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I believe that that will be the very first time that a Super Bowl ring has been made of pure platinum. The ring that DCI made for the New Jersey Devils several years back was made of platinum.I wouldn't mind if DCI make their rings. They did a phenomenal job with the '95 Cowboys ring.

Gothamite Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Anyhow, I came across this sketch of a prototype ring for the G-Men:That's a thing of beauty. Hope the Giants go with it.

I felt the same way you feel now when that happened. Gotta love school pride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference the Devils 2000 rings which are similar to what seems to be this years Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBadshah1 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Just off the top of my head, Brady/Ty Law from the Patriots, and Marlon Jackson and Cato June from the Colts, all from Michigan. The Michigan athletic website usually has an article talking about which former players are playing in the Super Bowl, and its usually 2-3 per side, so I'm sure its fairly common for the powerhouse schools.

Jamikel Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The Giants also had a pair of UNC alums in Russell Davis and Madison Hedgecock. Not bad considering our relative futility over the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
