Patriots Receive Super Bowl Rings

The New England patriots were presented their Super Bowl rings Sunday night during a bash at Robert Kraft's house.  Here's some info from the Patriots website.

Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft and his family hosted another Super Bowl ring ceremony at his home in Chestnut Hill tonight. While this is the fourth time the Krafts have hosted such a ceremony, including the third at his home, it was a first-time experience for more than 70 players and coaches who were celebrating their first Super Bowl Championship.

"I have been blessed to host four Super Bowl ring ceremonies, and just like the rings we present, we have tried to make each ceremony a little bigger and a little better than the one before," said Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft. "Football is the consummate team sport. These championship rings represent all that the team endured and overcame together. The players on this team will forever be bound by the memories this ring represents. The presentation of the rings is one of my favorite moments. I love watching the expressions on the faces of each of our players and the range of emotions they experience when they see the ring for the first time and the pride they all have when they put it on. Tonight's celebration is really a culmination of a job well done."

On February 1, 2015, the New England Patriots overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to claim a 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. It was the greatest fourth quarter come-from-behind victory in Super Bowl history, and deserving of a significant ring to signify its accomplishment.

Players and coaches of the Super Bowl XLIX Champion New England Patriots began arriving in the 6 o'clock hour for a cocktail reception followed by dinner. The rings were formally presented as the dessert to their entrée. Kraft promised a "rich" and very "sweet" dessert and military members from each of the five branches delivered with rings that were once again caked with carats.

The rings, handcrafted by Jostens, are once again cast in white gold. On one side, the recipient's name sits atop the ring, along with the years of the franchise's previous Super Bowl Championships in '01, '03, '04 and 2014. The players' number, encrusted in diamonds, sits just above the Gillette Stadium logo. The other side of the ring features a Super Bowl XLIX logo with the final score, 28-24, on the left and the team's overall record, 15-4, on the right. Both serve as a reminder of what can be accomplished when you "Do Your Job," which is labeled atop that side of the ring. Inside the ring is a quote from Robert Kraft following the game, "We are all Patriots."
