HOF Ring of Excellence Ceremony for Champ Bailey & Pat Bowlen

The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay^® Jewelers, the Official Provider of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence, will join in honoring Hall of Famers Champ Bailey and the late Pat Bowlen on Sunday, Oct. 13 when the Denver Broncos host the Tennessee Titans.

The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is one of three iconic symbols, along with the Hall of Fame Gold Jacket created by Haggar, and the Bronzed Bust, that represent the elite status of being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Hall’s President & CEO David Baker will present Bailey and the Bowlen family with the Hall of Fame Rings of Excellence during a special halftime presentation. The game is slated to kick off at 4:25 PM ET at Empower Field at Mile High. The Bowlen family will be presented with Bowlen’s ring which will then be placed on display alongside his Gold Jacket in the lobby of the UCHealth Training Center in Englewood, Colorado for all fans to see.

HALL OF FAME RING OF EXCELLENCE

The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is created by Kay^® Jewelers, the number one jewelry store in America and the Official Provider of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. The spectacular Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is set in 14K gold with a total diamond weight of 1¾ carats. However, it is much more than a beautiful piece of jewelry. Intricate details on the ring reflect the special significance of enshrinement.

• The outer diamonds create a “stadium” effect surrounding the football-shaped diamond center.
• The vibrant blue gemstone was selected both for appearance and meaning, as blue is often associated with confidence, power and integrity – all traits of these incredible legendary football icons.
• Bailey and Bowlen’s Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is customized to reflect their unique careers. For Bailey, a likeness of his Bronzed Bust, along with, “Cornerback,” and “1999-2013” (his years in the NFL) appear on one side while “Bailey,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and “Class of 2019” are included on the other. For Bowlen, a likeness of his Bronzed Bust, along with, “Contributor,” and “1984-2019” (his years in the NFL) appear on one side while “Bowlen,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and “Class of 2019” are included on the other.
• Additionally, a special arbormark (or engraving) appears on the inside of each ring, which is their respective Enshrinee numbers 319 (Bailey) and 320 (Bowlen).
