Wow, what a great topic and a lot of thought obviously went into your selections:
We all see things differently, but I agree with a lot of what you said.
I love the Cowboys Super Bowl XII ring, it is a balance of elegance but has a lot of bling and is actually a nice size so the ring can be worn comfortably.
To me, the most classic Super Bowl ring is the Colts Super Bowl V ring. So simple, yet beautiful and classic.
My least favorites, like you, are the Steelers last ring (who designed that one???) and Packers Super Bowl II ring.
An interesting story about the Steelers Super Bowl XL ring that you like - the ring is so small, the players were quite upset that the ring was so much smaller than the rings other teams were issuing and that's one reason their ring, three seasons later, was so darn huge.
Another favorite ring of mine is the Patriots Super Bowl XXXIX ring. It's like those million dollar Farrarris - so impractical but amazing to look at!
Here are some of the rings we are discussing:
