On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles received their Super Bowl LIX Championship Rings at a special ceremony attended by players, coaches, and support staff.
Here are some of the highlights of the ring, which was designed by Jason of Beverly Hills:
-
Bordering each side are wings that release from the bezel by pressing a special button located at the top of the ring – a first-of-its-kind feature in a championship ring. When the opening mechanism releases the wings, the inscription “YOU CAN’T BE GREAT WITHOUT THE GREATNESS OF OTHERS” becomes visible, honoring Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni’s message of unity and selflessness.
-
The bezel of the ring features 145 diamonds, celebrating the Eagles’ 145 points scored in the playoffs – the most in NFL postseason history. “WORLD CHAMPIONS” on top of the ring consists of 40 points of diamonds, commemorating the Eagles’ 40 points scored in Super Bowl LIX. One carat of marquise-shaped diamonds inside the two Vince Lombardi Trophies honors the Eagles’ top-ranked total defense (278.4 yards per game) and their rushing offense that set an NFL record with 3,866 rushing yards (including playoffs).
-
Encircling the top of the ring are 18 green stones, honoring the Eagles’ NFL-record-tying 18 combined victories in the regular season and playoffs (fourth team in history).
-
On the team side of the ring, the Super Bowl LIX logo is centered between the Eagles wordmark and the Super Bowl LIX score, 40-22. Ten points of diamonds in the Super Bowl LIX logo signify the Eagles’ franchise-record 10-game winning streak in the regular season.
-
On the players’ side of the ring, players’ last names are featured with their jersey numbers encrusted in diamonds against the backdrop of Lincoln Financial Field, paying homage to the dedicated fan base that passionately supported the team throughout its Super Bowl LIX-winning campaign.

Inside the ring is a stamp of the Brazilian flag, honoring the Eagles’ season opener at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil, which marked the first NFL game ever played in Brazil. Beneath the flag are Nick Sirianni’s core values of “TOUGH, DETAILED, TOGETHER” which have molded the team’s culture. There is also the listing of the scores of all four postseason games, along with a “145” stamp, saluting the Eagles’ record-breaking accomplishment of 145 points in the playoffs. Signatures are showcased on the bottom of the players’ rings.
“Our Super Bowl LIX Championship Ring represents the commitment, determination, and sacrifice of every member of our organization who helped deliver another World Championship for Eagles fans everywhere,” said Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie in a press release. “From the start of training camp to our celebration on Broad Street, this team was deeply connected on every level. Our players, coaches, and front office staff all worked so tirelessly throughout the season to raise another Lombardi Trophy.”
