Pittsburgh Steelers Unveil 2008 Super Bowl Rings

steelers-super-bowl-rings

The Steelers did their best to make their brand new Super Bowl rings look different from all the rest – and why not? They are the first team in the history of the NFL to have six titles under their belt, and the ring that the players from last years squad will wear will show that.

The team went with six round, brilliant cut diamonds surrounding the Steelers logo. The Steelers logo is formed with yellow, red and blue stones in the shape of hypocycloids sitting atop a football-shaped design created with 32 round diamonds.

Seven diamonds at each tip of the football recognize the team’s seven AFC Championships and when combined, the 14 diamonds signify the number of Division titles in Steelers history.

One side of the ring depicts six Lombardi Trophies rising from Heinz Field. The team did that as they say – “to recognize the support and loyalty of Steelers fans.” The opposing side of the ring is personalized with each individual player’s name and jersey number. That side also incorporates the Steelers helmet and the NFL shield to acknowledge both team and league.

The ring is cast in 14 karat yellow gold with black antique backgrounds to reflect the Steelers’ colors. The Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XLIII ring weighs 104 grams (approximately 3.7 ounces) and incorporates 63 round, brilliant cut diamonds totaling 3.61 carats.

Overall I don't like it. I like the 6 big diamonds to rep the championships… but it's doing too much for me..

This is the most unique and awsome display of a mega franchise. The Steelers deserve the most exotic ring out there, for the simple reason they are now in a league of there own. Lets make it 7 this years Big Ben!

Big Ben is the man to lead a awesome team like the Steelers to #7.

IT IS A NICE RING, BUT THE LOGO IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STEELERS LOGO. IT IS A LITTLE TOO OVAL FOR ME. MAYBE IT LOOKS GOOD ON THE FINGER. I WILL WAIT TO SEE THEM UNVEILED.

The gaudier the better. It's a ring supposed to capture attention and add swagger to the wearer. It's like getting a red Ferrari. Drive it to get noticed. Leave it in the garage to feel like a humble King.
