Tony Gonzalez & Johnny Robinson to Receive HOF Rings of Excellence

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 Tony Gonzalez and Johnny Robinson on Sunday, Oct. 27 when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Green Bay Packers.

Fans at the Week 8 matchup will witness Gonzalez and Robinson receive their Hall of Fame Rings of Excellence during a special halftime presentation. The Hall’s President & CEO David Baker will present Gonzalez and Robinson with the Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. The game is slated to kick off at 8:20 PM ET at Arrowhead Stadium.

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. Gonzalez and Robinson received their Hall of Fame Gold Jackets and unveiled their Bronzed Busts during the 2019 Enshrinement Week Powered by Johnson Controls in early August.

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.
  • The Hall of Fame Rings of Excellence are customized to reflect the unique careers of Gonzalez and Robinson. For Gonzalez, a likeness of his Bronzed Bust, along with, “Tight End,” and “1997-2013” (his years in the NFL) appear on one side while “Gonzalez,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and “Class of 2019” are included on the other. For Robinson, a likeness of his Bronzed Bust, along with, “Safety,” and “1960-1971” (his years in professional football) appear on one side while “Robinson,” 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 322 (Gonzalez) and 326 (Robinson).
