The second ring comes from the College Football Playoffs, and is the first since the ring was first commissioned to have an altered face incorporating purple stones.
The crown jewel is the official National Championship ring. It’s the first championship ring to incorporate all three school colors, purple, gold, and white. It also pays homage to the team’s 1958, 2003, and 2007 Championships with four stones embedded in it. One side of the ring features Tiger Stadium, the other the State of Louisiana. It’s being called one of the largest championship rings ever made.
