Types of Super Bowl Championship Ring

From their name, super bowl championship rings are given to the super bowl winners and the winners are supposed to pass on the rings to the next year’s winners. The players, team owners, coaches, trainers, staff and even the fans from the winning team get the rings. There are not guidelines as to who should be given the rings. It’s up to the winning team to decide on this and it can give out different rings to different people in the team. Types of super bowl rings There are many types of super bowl rings that the winning team can give away. They include: A grade rings These are top tier rings that are often reserved for coaches, players, team owners and the other essential staff. Since there are only 150 of these rings made, the winning team has to be strategic on who should get them and who shouldn’t. The most identifying features of the A grade rings are the large stones that they are made from. Due to their large stones, the rings also tend to be expensive. In most cases, the player and coach rings are often personalized with the player’s numbers or their names and this comes in handy at personalizing the rings and at the same time at telling a story about every person’s contribution to the season. B and C grade rings These are usually given liberally to the winning team staff and the remaining ones are raffled out to diehard fans. The rings are usually made from less precious stones which are often smaller than those used the grade A rings. Although, they are also expensive to purchase, they aren’t as expensive as their A grade counterparts. Fakes and replicas These are often non-standardized and not commissioned at the same time as the other rings. If you are new to super bowl rings you can easily be ripped off but experienced jewellers can easily tell chuff from wheat. Although most replicas are made from poor quality materials, some rings are made from high-quality materials and they will look as good as the original ring and last as long. When you are in the super bowl championship ring market, you should take your time researching about the rings and if you aren’t sure about the quality of the ring, take it to an experienced professional to help you tell whether the ring is of good quality and ideal to buy. Runners up rings Often referred to as the “losers” rings, these rings are given to the losing team. You must be wondering how a losing team is awarded a ring but this is how it came to be. Before the NFL and AFL merger, both leagues had the tradition of giving out rings to their separate championship winners and this has been carried over and morphed into the tradition of giving out rings to the losing team. Although the rings are usually high quality, they aren’t as good as those awarded to the winning team.
