reppact Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Championship rings in pro sports, by nature, are large and ostentatious. And the Als’ latest bauble appears even bigger than the one they received in 2002.The ring, made of white gold, features 17 diamonds - the amount of wins the team recorded in 2009. Montreal is encrusted in diamonds across the face. Six jewels stand out on the face - two diamonds, signifying the two titles under owner Robert Wetenhall; two rubies and two sapphires representing the Als’ other championships. One side of the ring’s shank features each player’s name and jersey number, while the other side includes mountains, since the game was won in Calgary, a goal post with a marquis diamond football, signifying the winning field goal.The ring, which cost approximately $3,000, was designed by four players with the most tenure - Bryan Chiu, Anthony Calvillo, Scott Flory and Anwar Stewart - along with general manager Jim Popp. Every member of the organization, no matter their title or contribution, received one. Even rookie defensive-lineman Nickolas Morin-Soucy, a 2009 draft choice, who suffered a season-ending injury at training camp and failed to play one game.Read more: http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Alouettes+ring+season/3113798/story.html#ixzz0q2d1qS8d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacker12 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Looks like it uses the template for the Steelers' most recent Super Bowl ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
