Each Class of 2025 enshrinee set to receive Pro Football Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence

Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe to be honored during ceremonies in NFL stadiums

The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay Jewelers, the Official Provider of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence, will honor the Class of 2025 with five ceremonies scheduled in their former home stadiums.

The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence presentations begin with two new class members being honored as part of Week 2 games in the 2025 National Football League season:

• Thursday, Sept. 11: Washington Commanders at Green Bay Packers: STERLING SHARPE.
• Sunday, Sept. 14: Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings: JARED ALLEN.

Three ceremonies will be held in October:

• Sunday, Oct. 12: Tennessee Titans at Las Vegas Raiders: ERIC ALLEN.
• Sunday, Oct. 19: Indianapolis Colts at Los Angeles Chargers: ANTONIO GATES.
• Sunday, Oct. 26: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles: ERIC ALLEN.

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 Bronze Bust, that represent the elite status of being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

All three representations of membership in sports’ most exclusive club will be displayed during special presentations for the teams’ fans to pay tribute to these Hall of Famers.

About the 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 1.75 carats. It is much more than a beautiful piece of jewelry, however. 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. 
• Each Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is customized to reflect the enshrinee’s unique career. A likeness of his Bronze Bust, along with his position and years in the NFL, appear on one side, while his last name, the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and year of enshrinement are included on the other. 
• Additionally, a special arbormark (or engraving) appears on the inside of the ring which is the enshrinee’s number among the 382 members of the Hall of Fame.
