Seahawks 2014 NFC Rings
The photo below appeared on Twitter yesterday and shows the newest NFC Championship ring.
The team that looses the Super Bowl is awarded an NFC or AFC championship ring, while the winning team of the big game, gets a larger and more blinged-out Super Bowl ring. With no details to be found anywhere on the internet, we can surmise that the ring was made by Tiffany and Company. We know this because the picture of the wood championship ring box, is clearly Tiffany’s standard presentation box offering. While the Tiffany presentation box is usually made in wood and then stained, the Seahawks 2013 Super Bowl ring box was painted in Seattle’s team color, and so is the new box. We don’t know the size of the Seahawks championship ring, and we don’t know the gold content or how much it weighs. What's interesting about the ring is that it is a close match (with less diamonds and probably smaller) to their Super Bowl winning ring from the prior year. Perhaps, like no other losing Super Bowl ring, this ring will not hold a special place for the players on the team, who were one play away from winning back to back Super Bowls. What do the net54 readers think of this ring? Last edited by sports-rings; 06-24-2015 at 08:47 AM. |

'14 Seahawks
Considering the way they lost the Super Bowl, I was willing to bet the 'Hawks would have gone the 2010 Steelers' route and awarded a watch.
I think a better pic of the ring top is needed to get an appreciation for the ring. It's a beautiful ring in its own way but it looks like it was designed with a "do we have to" attitude. Since most people, including the players, view the ring as being the equivalent of receiving the bubonic plague, I can't understand why they even have a conference championship ring. My philosophy: be thankful for what you are able to accomplish. If the best you can do is win a conference ring, feel blessed that you have one. |

I think it will be a big deal to the players who were not on the Super Bowl winning team. Beating Green Bay the way they did had to make the players proud enough to wear this ring.
To the guys who were part of the Super Bowl winning team the year before...probably won't be wearing this one ever. Maybe we'll see some of them show up in auctions?

They will want no part of the new ring due to the way the team lost in the last few seconds. Players who were rookies this past season, may see it differently. And yes, I hope you are right and we see this ring at auction this year. I wonder how Seattle fans will view this ring from an auction stand-point? |

As an attendee at the Green Bay NFC title game, I would probably bid more than it is worth. I have a game-used football from the 49'er NFC title game the year before, but could not get one for the Green Bay game (Hunt auctioned off two fakes that I desperately wanted to believe were real), so one of these rings would be my second favorite game-used item!
