May 23 2017 - 6:30PM
Jostens, the leading provider of high-end custom jewelry for
professional sports teams, today delivered the 2016 Seattle
Sounders FC MLS Cup Championship Ring. The ring commemorates
the thrilling victory of Sounders FC over Toronto FC in a dramatic
penalty-kick shootout last December that secured Seattle’s first
MLS Cup in franchise history.
“Jostens is truly honored to partner with the Seattle Sounders
to create this historic ring,” said Chris Poitras, Jostens Division
Vice President, College & Sports. This iconic piece of jewelry
uses intricate craftsmanship to tell the story of the Sounders’
first MLS Cup Championship and honors the team’s connection to its
fans and the city of Seattle. “
“Last season’s MLS Cup Championship was an incredible
achievement reached through the dedication, vision and hard work of
countless people,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanauer, speaking
on behalf of the club’s ownership group. “In creating our
championship rings with Jostens, we looked to not only recognize a
singular moment of victory, but to commemorate the journey that
brought us to that point. As an organization, we are thrilled to be
able to provide these one-of-a-kind keepsakes to all of the players
and staff who helped our first MLS Cup come home to
Seattle.”
The Sounders FC MLS Championship Ring is created in 10-karat
white gold. The ring top features the club’s primary logo set
with custom Sounders Blue and Rave Green enamel. The logo is
accented with eight diamonds with an additional 30 diamonds
surrounding the crest. The bezel of the ring reads MLS CUP
CHAMPIONS with a yellow gold star accenting the top most bezel
representing the franchise’s first championship.
The left side of the ring features a detailed Seattle skyline,
with the region’s iconic mountains filling the background.
The skyline and mountains are then surrounded by the
recipient’s name with players receiving their number below the
skyline.
The right side of the ring features the Seattle Sounders FC
wordmark and immediately below the wordmark is a depiction of the
famous Philip F. Anschutz Trophy with 2016 in its base to represent
the championship year.
The inside of the ring features a custom arbor which has the
date of the historic championship ‘12.10.16’, as well as the
logos of both Sounders FC and Toronto FC along with the score of
the game and penalty-kick rounds that sealed the victory for
Seattle.
