FiddySicks Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 All three are equally beautiful in my eyes! If I had to pick though, I'd go with 2010. I love the round gold band on the face of the ring, and that one was easily the most special.

Mac the Knife Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Which design to do you like the best?Me, I like the one on the right, kind of pops more than the other two!Is it possible to both like and dislike each and every one of these at the same time?For example, the "World Champions" layout on the ring at left is done in a beautiful font, but the rounded shape of the top of the ring I'm not as fond of. The middle ring meanwhile has a solid, traditional (by 21st century standards) style'd top, but lacks character. The ring on the right suffers from the same traits. Had the Giants incorporated that gold "World Champions" encirclement on all three rings, but in a block form akin to the shaping of the middle ring, plus utilized the interlocking "SF" layout from the third ring (at right)? They'd have one dynamite looking championship ring. As it is, they have three decent, but rather bland looks that I don't think will stand the test of time design-wise.

Plus, all 3 rings are much too similar to one other. No variety or imagination whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports-rings.com Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What do you think of the design of a championship ring that displays a team's record so prominently?Championship rings that show a team's won/loss record so prominently on the top of the ring are extremely rare - I can't think of another instance where a championship ring was designed to show off a team's record in this manner. Can anyone show some others that have been designed and made like the ring on the left?I must say, I like it, and why not display their undefeated record?

sports-rings.com Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Anyone want to discuss the design of the championship rings from Superbowl XXXII?The ring on the left is the Denver Broncos Super Bowl Ring from their 1997 season. This ring was designed and manufactured by Diamond Cutters International in 14K solid yellow gold. (I really miss the days of championship rings in Yellow Gold). What makes this Super Bowl ring so unique is that the Broncos went with a smaller ring maker and while the top diamonds and logo are spectacular, the sides of the ring and even the words shown on top - "World Champions" is nowhere near as good as what Jostens, Balfour and Tiffany produce.What drives me and other championship ring enthusiasts crazy is how poor the sides look. When examining the ring, the sides look like replica rings and not a real super bowl ring. The Broncos championship ring weighs approximately 64 grams. The team that loses the Super Bowl is recognized as a champion of their respective conference. The Green Bay Packers 1997 NFC championship ring, shown above, was the first time since 1983 that a NFC team did not win the Super Bowl. (Think about that, what an amazing run by NFC teams).The Packers NFC championship ring weighs in at 42 grams. The championship ring contains one larger center diamond, 10 smaller diamonds surrounding it, and then four more diamonds on top.The ring was made by Jostens in 10K solid yellow gold.

Almighty Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don´t think a superbowl ring should say world champions, why can´t it just say superbowl champions ? To make matters worse there is a NFC and a AFC ring, what side of the world are they representing then. I am okay with the baseball world series, but american football champs have no business calling themselves world champs it´s just lame, the game is played literally nowhere else in the world.

sports-rings.com Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 When researching a blog entry for today about Tom Coughlin retiring, I realized the NY Giants have used three different ring companies, to design and manufacture their 4 Super Bowl rings (Jostens,Balfour and (2) by Tiffany).That had me thinking they were the only NFL team to use three different companies to help design their super bowl rings, but further research revealed that the Cowboys too, used three companies, (Balfour, Jostens and Diamond Masters).Tom's rings are shown below, and Yes, the ring on the left belongs, he was an assistant coach and Bill B. was on that staff too!And the picture shows the design evolution of Super Bowl rings over the decades.(click on the photo below to see a larger image....)

Championship Sports Rings Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Since the NFL football playoffs are about to start on Saturday and while 12 teams will vie for the Super Bowl 50 Championship this too will be the season for the Major Ring companies to battle to get the new Super Bowl Ring and Conference Ring contracts. They will too be competing to make the new Rings no matter who wins the Super Bowl. Jostens made last years New England Patriots Ring. As most of us know the company who has made or produced the majority of the Super Bowl and Conference Rings is Jostens. But did you know that for a period of Six straight years Jostens did not get to make the Super Bowl winners ring. From 1990 to 1995 the rings were made by either Balfour, Tiffany and Co, or Diamond Cutters. The major Ring companies also compete to produce the NCAA National Championship Rings too. Last years Ohio State rings were made by Jostens. Out of the last 50 National Championship Rings produced Jostens has made only about half of them. The longest drought for Jostens would surprisingly be a full 10 Years where they did not produce the National Championship Ring starting in 1980 with the Georgia rings and ending with the 1989 Miami Rings. Jostens would rebound in 1990 as there was a split title and Jostens made both the Colorado and the Georgia Tech Rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right about how competitive the design and manufacturing of championship rings has become. Jostens (and perhaps others too) was at the Winter Baseball Meetings in Nashville, pitching their services in the convention hall. They are there not only for the MLB clubs but for minor league baseball and all the thousands of executives that attended the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
