An interesting story. I'm not sure what is more amazing: that a major manufacturer would make such an error and not catch it before delivering the rings, or the fact that not one recipient spotted the error or cared about it.
Considering the Steelers defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the Super Bowl and Jostens is located in Minneapolis, perhaps a disgruntled Jostens employee who was also a Vikings diehard sabotaged the design.
This situation offers a contrast to the status championship rings have achieved in contemporary times. I can't imagine this happening today.
