(Nexstar) – The Philadelphia Eagles won the Vince Lombardi Trophy for beating the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday in the Super Bowl LIX. Winning teams will be awarded sparkling trophies, but individual players will be able to bring back even more flashy items. Super Bowl Ring.
What about the losers? They are also not ones to commemorate their presence in the Super Bowl, but they get the ring.
Super Bowl losers still win the ring that honors them as their respective meetings, AFC or NFC champions. The design of the ring varies from year to year (last year the 49ers received the NFC Championship RingIt looked like this), and they are customized to players including their name and jersey number.
The Super Bowl rings look different every year, but they are always flashy. The design depends on the owner of the winning team and the jewelers they work for.
Last year, Chiefs' 14.8 carat rings had 528 diamonds and 38 rubies –And one big typo. Carved inside the ring were all the Chiefs' playoff games scores that season.
That's what they listed as defeating the 7th seed Miami Dolphins 26. The score was correct, but the seed was not. The dolphin was the sixth seed.
It appears that the mistake never defeated the Super Bowl champion. “Who cares?” Travis Kelce said on an episode of the “New Heights” podcast. “They might not have made the seeds on their side and I would have been fine. Ah, yeah, we really did it with details, oooo we ruined it. Just make it more exclusive. Did it. There's nothing.”
It takes time to create sparkly jewelry pieces, so it's still not clear what the design will look like this year. They will be awarded to the winner a few months after the big game during the Super Bowl Ring Ceremony.
