TheSuper Bowl ring is an award in theNational Football League given to the team members of the winning team of the league's annual championship game, theSuper Bowl. The Super Bowl ring offers a collectible memento for the actual players and team members to keep for themselves to symbolize their victory.[1] There are also rings provided to the runners-up team of the Super Bowl.[2]

Rings are also awarded to members of the team which wins the AFC or NFC championship.[3][4][5] The NFL also provides postseason pay to all players who have spent at least three games on their team’s active or reserve list during the regular season. This playoff bonus money is distributed evenly among all team members, including starters, backups, and injured players.[6]

Details

[edit]

These rings are typically made ofyellow orrose gold withdiamonds. They usually include the team name, team logo, the phrase, "World Champions,", and the Super Bowl number (usually indicated inRoman numerals). Many rings feature diamonds in the shape of theVince Lombardi Trophy or afootball, to illustrate the number of Super Bowls that the franchise has won.[7] Also, the rings are customized with the player's name and uniform number. The NFL contributes approximately $5,000-$7,000 per ring for up to 150 rings for the winning team; any additional costs are borne by the team.[8] Most rings are manufactured by memorabilia companyJostens.[9][10] The rings are normally presented in an elegant box and/or display case.

The winning team can typically present any number of rings to whomever they choose, including usually, but not limited to: players (active roster, inactive roster, orinjured reserve), coaches, trainers, executives, personnel, and general club staff. Some teams have given rings to former players and coaches that were on the team at some point during the season, despite not having been on the winning roster for the Super Bowl itself.[11][12] Sometimes a team will make rings available to fans as part of a charity raffle.[13] A recent trend over the past 15–20 years has been to award lesser-valued rings to non-player and front office staff. These are often referred to as "B" and "C" level rings, while the rings given to players are considered "A" level rings. The "B" and "C" rings are typically smaller and contain fewer diamonds or imitation diamonds.The first instance of this was theRedskinsSuper Bowl XVII ring when many in the front office received rings that were not solid gold and containedcubic zirconia stones (which resemble diamonds). WhenTampa Bay wonSuper Bowl XXXVII, the players and coaches received "A" rings with a diamond-centered Lombardi trophy.[14] Some staff received rings with a metal Lombardi trophy substituted, with real diamonds surrounding the trophy, while the "C" level ring did not contain any diamonds. Per theCBA, players that were on the winning team'spractice squad at the time of the Super Bowl victory are also entitled to a ring, but it can be one of lesser value.[15]

TheGreen Bay Packers'Super Bowl XLV ring[16] contained more than 100 diamonds. The Packers logo, in the center of the ring, was made up of 13 diamonds, one for each championship title the team has won, dating back to 1929. TheNew England PatriotsSuper Bowl XLIX rings reportedly cost $36,500 each, making them the most expensive rings Jostens had ever produced at that time, only to be surpassed by the rings awarded forSuper Bowl 50 andSuper Bowl LI.[17][18] TheNew England Patriots'Super Bowl LI ring has 283 diamonds, to commemorate their comeback from being down 28–3 versus theAtlanta Falcons late in the 3rd quarter,[19] about which Falcons ownerArthur Blank reportedly confronted Patriots ownerRobert Kraft in August 2017 over his perceived "insult-by-karat".[20] ThePhiladelphia Eagles' ring forSuper Bowl LII contains 127 diamonds on the bezel, which is the total from the numbers of the jerseys of the three players who handled the ball after the snap on thePhilly Special trick play—Corey Clement (30),Trey Burton (88) andNick Foles (9).[21][22] TheTampa Bay Buccaneers ring for theirSuper Bowl LV victory contained 319 diamonds on the face to symbolize their 31–9 victory over Kansas City. That ring was also the first to have a removable top, which when opened reveals a hand-carved replica ofRaymond James Stadium, where they became the first team to win a Super Bowl on their home field.[23]

In recent years, rings are typically presented in ornate display cases. After winningSuper Bowl 50, theDenver Broncos rings were handed out in large, ornate boxes, complete with a decorativepadlock and commemorative game ball.[24]

Value and resale

[edit]

Replicas of the rings for various years are popular collectibles, along with genuine rings.[25]Dave Meggett is known to have placed his ring for sale oneBay. Two Super Bowl rings from the 1970sSteelers sold on eBay for over $69,000 apiece in mid-2008.[26]Patriots safetyJe'Rod Cherry raffled his ring fromSuper Bowl XXXVI in November 2008 to benefit several charities working to help children inAfrica andAsia.[27] Tight endShannon Sharpe, meanwhile, gave hisfirst Super Bowl ring to his brotherSterling, who had his career cut short by injury.[28]

In 2005, a minor international incident occurred when it was reported thatRussian PresidentVladimir Putin had taken aSuper Bowl ring fromNew England Patriots ownerRobert Kraft. Kraft quickly issued a statement saying that he had given Putin the ring out of "respect and admiration" he had for the Russian people and Putin's leadership.[29] Kraft later said his earlier statement was not true, and had been issued under pressure from theWhite House.[30][31][32][33] The ring is on display at the Kremlin, along with other "gifts".[34]
