Giants to get Super Bowl rings Thursday night
The
New York Giants will get their final reward for winning the Super Bowl on Thursday night when they are given their championship rings.
The private ceremony will be held at
Tiffany and Co. It will bring an end to a four-month celebration that followed the Giants' stunning 17-14 win over the previously unbeaten
New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 in
Glendale,
Ariz.
In the ensuing days,
coach Tom Coughlin and his team were given a ticket-tape parade in
New York City followed by a celebration at
Giants Stadium in
East Rutherford,
N.J.
The Giants took a trip to the
White House for a visit with
President Bush in late April.
Now come the rings.
The white gold sparklers have about 1.5 carats in diamonds and feature the team's three Super Bowl trophies - signifying the Giants' Super Bowl XXI, XXV and XLII victories.
The team's "NY" logo is set in round diamonds, while "World Champions" is emblazoned in raised letters on the top and bottom bezel, with channel set diamonds on the left and right bezel.
The ring's shanks celebrate the season, noting the team's "Eleven Straight on the Road," an
NFL record; the NFL shield; and player name, along with player number in raised letters appear on one shank.
The final score, "Super Bowl XLII," date (02.03.08) and 'AZ' appear on the other shank.
