dont care Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I personally am not a fan when rings have diamonds and other jewels on the shanks. That can't be comfortable to wear. Probably constantly scratches people's fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC985 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 USC Rose Bowl ring ✌️ I really like the trophies on the shank. Visible dig at UCLA putting the Victory Bell in the center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visible dig at UCLA putting the Victory Bell in the center? Seems like this is a popular ring design all made by Jostens. They have used this same basic mold to make rings for Alabama and FSU in recent years. Here is the new 2016 Oklahoma Sooners Big XII Championship rings that the team just got a few days ago.

In my years of covering sports, I've run across a lot of ex-players that proudly wear their MLB league championship rings. It was usually guys who are coaching or scouting in the minors. I've even seen ex-players wearing their AAA championship rings. Hell, back in the 80's Tony LaRussa was wearing his Oakland AL Champs ring on the cover of SI. You'd be surprised by how many football players wear NFL conference title rings or college conference and bowl championship rings. My guess is you don't see many players wearing that type of ring while they're still playing, but once their career is over, why the hell not? An AL Champions ring is still a ring you got while playing professional baseball. It's not like everyone has one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpsontide Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Alabama SEC Championship/CFP ring. Not the ring we wanted but better than most schools can legitimately put on a ring. The 26 on the helmet represents 26 SEC titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHCollector Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Things have been going pretty slow for me on the collecting front these past few months but I did manage to add this box (no ring) to my collection this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports-rings.com Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Anyone want to discuss these championship rings from Super Bowl XLIII? Continuing my slow but steady comments and pictures of Super Bowl rings from a particular game here are the Rings from Super Bowl XLIII. The ring on the left is the Pittsburgh Steelers most current Super Bowl Ring from their 2008 season. The Steelers with this championship ring, become the only NFL team to have won six Super Bowl rings. This beautiful and gigantic championship ring was designed and manufactured by Jostens and it's substantially larger and heavier than the team's Super Bowl ring from just three seasons earlier. The 2008 Super Bowl ring is made of solid 14K yellow gold (I miss the days when championship rings were made in this color) and the player version weighs an incredible 105 grams. The team that loses the Super Bowl is recognized as a champion of their respective conference and are awarded championship rings too. The Arizona Cardinals ring shown above is about half the size and weight of the Steelers Super Bowl ring. The Cardinals 2008 NFC championship ring is a very nice diamond-loaded championship ring. It weighs in at 53 grams and was made in solid 10K white gold by Jostens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports-rings.com Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Grambling State Football Team Gets Championship Rings If Grambling’s newest Championship Rings look familiar, it’s because their design was probably made from a modified mold of the Ravens Super Bowl XLVII rings. After an outstanding 2016 football season culminating in a National Championship, the Gambling State University football team has been awarded their 2016 Championship rings. As you can see from the photos above, Grambling’s stunning championship ring shares the same design characteristics as the Ravens second Super Bowl Ring. As we’ve witnessed over the last decade or two, Jostens does reuse their championship ring molds and designs for newer championship rings. While a player’s Super Bowl ring is made of solid gold and authentic diamonds, a college or high school championship ring isn’t. That means that huge High School and College championship rings can rival the size, style, and bling of a Super Bowl ring, at a tiny fraction of the cost. While a player Super Bowl ring could cost $30,000 to craft each one, a run of 60 championship rings or more on the College level (think about the staff that’s included too and it could be more than 60 rings) would be around $30,000 for the entire run.

A team set of college rings would typically be in the ballpark of 150 rings.. Usually 125-ish players, plus staff, etc.. Also, the NCAA caps the amount each ring can cost.. I was told by our ring rep that Alabama's $367 national championship rings were the max.. I know it's in the $350 range though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports-rings.com Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The 2016 Los Angeles Sparks 2016 WNBA Championship Rings Seeing this stunning Championship Ring was love at first sight as it’s design is absolutely magnificent: Here are some details: The championship ring was made by Baron Championship Rings, not Jostens.

Championship Sports Rings Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Did anyone else who saw the Dr. J NBA Finals promo spot on ABC notice anything strange when he is shown putting on what looks to be his 1983 Philadelphia 76ers NBA Championship Ring. For those who don’t know what I mean back in November of 2011 Dr J sold a large amount of his personal Basketball treasures through SCP Auctions. They said more than 140 items from Julius Erving's personal collection sold for a record $3.5 million. Among the highlights: His 1974 New Jersey Nets ABA championship ring sold for $460,471; 1983 Philadelphia 76ers championship rings sold for $244,240; 1983 All-Star game MVP trophy ($115,242); final game worn jersey from May 3, 1987 ($88,826); and 1974-75 ABA MVP trophy ($173,10). SCP said the Nets championship ring set a World Record price for a sports ring. So the question that comes to mind is in the ad is that really Dr J’s real one and only 1983 NBA Ring?? Chances are NO since he sold it for $244,240. Now it could be an extra that he had made or the one that he sold at auction was the duplicate and either way the guy who bought the ring is going to be asking or calling SCP on Monday asking whats going on here if he bought Dr. J’s one and only ring why is he shown in the promo with his so called ring?? Now there is one more explanation and that could be they either borrowed someone else’s 1983 ring or Balfour made a quick sample of the ring since they made the original one back in 1983. Lastly the more ironic thing happens at the end of the promo spot after he puts on this 1983 ring he says. “You either have a ring or you don’t” Even though Dr J won a ring in 1983 he might not actually or should not have it anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10nydAy5szk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 If he'd sold it, likely they subbed one in for the promo. It's a good question though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
