Hat Boy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Didn't the steelers do something similar for one of their super bowl rings with the stars? I always found that strange for them.The "stars" on the Steelers ring are astroids, which mimic their logo.HypocycloidsA hypocycloid with four cusps is called an astroid.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridenlow71 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I know ring companies reuse designs for colleges and high school, but make sure the design makes sense. Here's a ring from a division 3 football team. Why oh why would you copy the Patriots ring with the Lombardi trophy??

sports-rings.com Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 New Photoshopped Super Bowl XLIX Ring Debuts on TwitterWhat do you think of this design?The championship ring's a stunner, obviously modified from a front office 2004 Super Bowl ring.It's highly doubtful this or a similar version will be presented to team players and coaches. The reason is that this championship ring would be substantially smaller in size than New England's last winning ring - the 2004 Super Bowl ring.The 2004 Super Bowl ring was gigantic, weighing in a little over 100 grams, in 14K white solid gold. Some front office employees received a non gold version (same color as the player's rings) with imitation diamonds that looked very similar to the ring shown above. Obviously, that championship ring had three large imitation diamonds and Lombardi trophies, not four as shown above.Perhaps, if the Patriots decide to offer a smaller front office ring again this year, the super bowl ring shown above could be very similar to what is ultimately presented to front office employees.

sports-rings.com Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Here are some Yankee vintage rings:(Click picture below to see larger picture)Anyone want to talk about the design of New York Yankee Vintage Rings?The American League championship rings are easy to distinguish - they have the top-hat designs.The earlier rings were made by Dieges & Clust and then Balfour took over and made the rest.Shown above (starting with the bottom row and left to right) are World Series winning rings: 1927, 1938, 1939, 1949, 1952, 1953 (the "5"). Above those rings are the 1957 AL Championship ring, 1958 World Series winning ring, and the 1964 AL championship ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports-rings.com Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The Championship Rings From Super Bowl XIIIHere are the two rings from Super Bowl XIII:While we have been discussing the design of the Steelers ring, here is some information abou thte Cowboys ring:The Cowboys NFC ring was designed as a tribute to the Texas official state flower – the Bluebonnet.Because many collectors believe this is one of the ugliest conference championship rings, they tend to go for less money than other AFC and NFC championship rings. The Cowboys 1978 NFC ring was made by Jostens, in 10K yellow gold and weighs 35-36 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sports-rings.com Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I recently saw this ESPN Magazine cover.Any opinions on the design of these Boston-themed Championship ring knockoffs?In my opinion, ESPN blew it! They could have made a historic magazine cover, showing authentic amazing championship rings, but instead photographed 4 incredibly cheap and inaccurate knockoffs championship rings.Do you think ESPN should have done a better job or am I being too harsh?Your thoughts?PS - The pats ring looks like the AFC championship ring from Super Bowl XLII but yet somehow says 2004 World Champions!

charger77 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Are the replica rings considered counterfeit or something else entirely since they are not made publicly available?

I head to the land of the counterfeits next week and am looking to see what I can findI am not a lawyer, but I can't imagine the NFL and the ring companies are pleased with the copies all over the market place. The NFL logos of the teams are copy-written and unless a replica ring is licensed or given out by the team, these rings and the selling of them can not possibly be legal.Most of these cheap replicas are made in China. When you say they are not publicly available, please note that most are easily found on ebay.How the NFL and ring companies allow this is a mystery to me.

sports-rings.com Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The Championship Rings From Super Bowl XIVAnyone want to comment about or talk about the design of these rings?In researching my latest blog story, I realized that compared to other NFC / AFC rings, the Rams ring was pretty bland compared to the other runner up rings designed before and around this time period.The Steelers ring design from Super Bowl XIV, was nothing to write home about either, despite their amazing accomplishment of 4 titles in 6 seasons.

sports-rings.com Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Anyone want to comment about or talk about the design of these rings?In researching my latest blog story, here are ring designs of Pro Athletes who have won at least one championship ring in at least two different sports. This shows how ring design differed during a specific time period in different sports.Please comment on the ring designs, or feel free to add other pro athletes who have won pro championship rings (not college or minor league stuff).(Click picture below for a larger picture)We all remember Deon Sanders as a great Cornerback in the NFL. He was better than Derrelle Revis and Richard Sherman.He also had great moments on the baseball field too. During the 1989 season, he hit a major league home run and scored a touchdown in the NFL in the same week, the only player ever to do so. Sanders is also the only man to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series.Shown above are his World Series losing rings – called National League Championship rings, and his two Super Bowl rings – one with the San Francisco Forty Niners and one with the Dallas Cowboys.Sanders was a two time NFC defensive Player of the year (1993 and 1994) and an 8 time probowl player. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of fame and the College Football Hall of fame in 2011.Gene Conley won championships with the Milwaukee Braves and Boston Celtics. Here are the championship rings Conley, a four time baseball all-star, won:(Click picture below for a larger picture)Conley also played basketball for the Boston Celtics and won three championship rings with them. As you can see from the photo above, like the New York Yankees, the Celtics did not change the design of their championship rings during this time period.

Mac the Knife Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Championship Rings From Super Bowl XIVAnyone want to comment about or talk about the design of these rings?In researching my latest blog story, I realized that compared to other NFC / AFC rings, the Rams ring was pretty bland compared to the other runner up rings designed before and around this time period.The Steelers ring design from Super Bowl XIV, was nothing to write home about either, despite their amazing accomplishment of 4 titles in 6 seasons.I've read in various places that the Steelers ring from 1979 was designed primarily by the Rooney family, with little to no input provided by the players. The reason was that the previous year's rings were seen as "knuckle busters" by the family, particularly by Art, who had hands like hams but with short finger joints. The '79 ring would wind up being the only one Art could wear every day, the others either being too large, too heavy, or digging into an adjacent finger.
