ridenlow71 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Bart Starr's super bowl one ring in the Packers HOF. His 1965 ring is also there. When he passes away his super bowl two ring will be there as well. Quote Part owner in the Green Bay Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 First look at the Chicago Blackhawks 2015 Stanley Cup championship ring. Looks like a cross between the 2010 and 2013 rings. Looks like a lot of white gold, diamonds, and antique finish. A little color, like what the 2013 ring had, wouldn't have hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Rings Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Boy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The shank with the six Cups looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenlow71 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah it would have been nice if they at least put some colored stones in for the feathers. It's an ok design overall all, the first one in 2010 is still my favorite. Quote Part owner in the Green Bay Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dralec Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Disappointing ring.Hopefully we get some fresh design by JOBH NBA championship ring in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Add some color to that Blackhawks ring and it's perfect. Still a pretty good looking ring. The complete lack of gaudiness is nice. I like the clean, simple approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dralec Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hey Mike, I saw some new pics of the 2014 Seahawks NFC championship ring on your website.Were you able to obtain one? You going to do a write-up on it? Size, grams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dralec Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Guess I was bored today, here are pics of every school issued national championship ring during BCS era and some extra rings. (since BCS is done and over with).I have no clue what those numbers are on the first picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to do a write-up on it? Size, grams?The pictures on my site are the best pictures to date of the NFC ring and presentation box.The photos were sent to me recently with an offer to buy the player ring and box.However, there were some issues with the ring and paperwork, and the price was too high for me, so I ultimately passed.I still don't know how much the ring weighs and I'm looking forward to one day soon acquiring one and doing some detailed photos and wights. I also can't wait to see a picture of the two Seattle rings side by side, to see if they are a great match in size and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sports-rings.com Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 What’s Wrong With the Chicago Blackhawk’s Championship Rings?Their last three Stanley Cup rings are shown below; the oldest on the left and the newest on the right. They show a disturbing design trend:(Click picture below for a larger picture)In my opinion, the Blackhawk’s championship rings are getting progressively worse.The 2009-10 championship ring, shown on the left, is a gorgeous ring – perhaps one of the finest Stanley Cup Rings ever made. It’s huge, packed with diamonds, and displays the team’s logo and a Stanley Cup trophy.Although the top lacks any color, the sides contain yellow gold and complement the championship ring quite well.The middle Stanley Cup ring, from the 2012-13 season, has a center red stone and in my opinion is a downgrade from the team’s previous championship ring. This ring also contains color on the side, and typically when a team wins a second championship in a short time span, the championship ring is almost always larger and contains more bling than the first ring – except in this case.The team’s most recent championship ring, from the 2014-15 season looks to be slightly larger than the middle ring, however, the lack of color on the top and sides is a glaring omission.The latest championship ring could certainly use some color as it contains a sterile, non-creative design.All three championship rings were designed and manufactured by Jostens, and as I said before, looks like these Stanley Cup rings are heading in the wrong direction.What do the members think? Any thoughts or opinions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFan98 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 My ranking would be,1. 13, love the red, great look overall2. 15, nice and clean, needs some color though3. 10, nice, but too big and it looks the same as those before it, unoriginal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ring looks nice, but I'm a fan of having color in it. The Blackhawks first 2 rings were better. Especially the 2ndThe teams have as much to do with ring designs as the manufacturers nowadays. Odds are whomever was making the decision saw a previous ring and said, "I want something like that one, but for us."What’s Wrong With the Chicago Blackhawk’s Championship Rings?Their last three Stanley Cup rings are shown below; the oldest on the left and the newest on the right.

Any thoughts or opinions?I honestly prefer the '15 ring to the other two, with the '10 ring second and the '13 ring (with the red) looking (at least in the depiction) just God awful. To be original with the '15 ring, I'd probably have done the hair and feathers in stones of their respective colors - it would have really given it some uniqueness and some 'pop.'
