Championship rings

JOC with details on the A-10 championship rings the guys will get in a ceremony at the Northern Iowa game.

Spiders shot for 'classic look' when designing A-10 hoops championship rings

The design is a simple, traditional look meant to stand the test of time.

I should get one too. It took a ton of griping by me to get this team an A-10 championship. Your welcome.

Sounds like you definitely qualify under the "members of the Richmond basketball family that really helped us along the road to win the A-10 and get to the NCAA tournament" criteria.

Agreed, 😊

I can’t believe one whole side of the ring is dedicated to the HC and the year is actually on the bottom.

hmm…I’d think just Mooney’s ring is dedicated to Mooney HC. Looks like example used & that side is a placeholder…& player own names & probably their # would go there. Gotta think their own names make the ring. But we do weird sh*t sometimes so I guess there’s a chance they all say Mooney but I hope not.

Yeah, the rings are traditionally customized with player names, so that's undoubtedly the Mooney sample. The Mooney HC thing for everyone would be too weird even for us.

This makes perfect sense, of course if the article had used a player’s ring or even showed a few rings it would have been very clear. So I wonder what that side has for the administrators and the “basketball family” rings - last name and donation total?

Members of the University of Richmond’s 2022 A-10 men’s basketball title team will not see their championship rings until presented on Nov. 11, when the Spiders meet Northern Iowa at the Robins Center.

Hmm, think that could be why they didn't use a player ring for the photoshoot, so as not to spoil the moment?

I have about seven of these rings, from the summer college wood bat baseball team I work for. Each one is personalized. They are pretty substantial.

It will be a pretty cool night for the players.

Also from the article:
“They already know what the rings look like because they provided input on the design, a simple, traditional appearance meant to stand the test of time.”

So “No” is my answer to your question.

I also was obviously partially brain dead last night when I read the article and looked at the rendering. Still seems like a strange choice to me though.

I do agree that it will be a great night for the players and I am looking forward to the celebration.

I like mine too. Way more diamonds than I was expecting, but hey we all played our roles.

Mooney should take out a billboard with just a picture of himself showing off the ring and all the billboard says is "Your Welcome".

Pay by the letter. If you use "You're" - that is more letters and more money. And with inflation - who knows how much it costs now.
