Eagles Hall of Famers to Receive Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence

The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay^® Jewelers, the Official Jewelry Store of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will honor BOB BROWN (Class of 2004) and TOMMY McDONALD (Class of 1998) during the New Year’s Day game in Philadelphia. The special presentation will take place at halftime of the Eagles’ season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Jan. 1 at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is one of three iconic symbols that represent the elite status of being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both Hall of Famers received their Hall of Fame Gold Jacket and unveiled their Bronzed Bust during their respective Enshrinements. All three symbols – the Gold Jacket, the Bronzed Bust, and the Ring of Excellence – will be displayed during the halftime presentation during which the legendary Eagles players will be presented with their official Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. Brown and McDonald will each wear their Hall of Fame Gold Jacket and the Bronzed Busts of these Heroes of the Game will be temporarily removed from the Hall of Fame to make their way to Philadelphia for the ceremony.

As part of the partnership between the Hall of Fame and Kay^® Jewelers, all living members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will receive the new Ring of Excellence that was designed by Kay^® Jewelers in 2013. This year marks the second of three seasons in which the Ring of Excellence will be presented to the Hall of Famers in special ceremonies.
