Executives from Zales will unveil the design of this prestigious ring for the Class of 2023 inductees on February 25th at the HBCU Legacy Bowl, presented by the BCFHOF.
This All-Star game showcases the top NFL draft-eligible football players from HBCUs and highlights the incoming BCFHOF Class of 2023. The BCFHOF will hold the official Induction Ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 10th. Inductees will receive an official Black College Football Hall of Fame Ring from Zales.
Using the most advanced technology in the jewelry industry along with the craftsmanship of master jewelers, this amazing ring is made in 14k gold featuring a stunning navette-shaped black onyx, which was chosen to represent a football. The black onyx stone provides protection, stamina, and determination to help one persevere.
This ring has 60 sparkling diamonds weighing a total of one and a half carats. One side of the ring carries the BCFHOF logo with the year the recipient is inducted. The other side pays homage to two of the most recognized symbols of football, a helmet, and a goal post, along with the inductee's name and the years they were active. The inside is engraved in a script font with the inductee's full name and the name of the college where they played.
