Blue Bombers unveil 2021 Grey Cup rings, tribute to fans featured

Blue Bombers unveil Grey Cup rings The Winnipeg Blue Bombers unveiled their 2021 Grey Cup rings, which paid tribute to the team’s fans.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have unveiled their 2021 Grey Cup rings, which include a tribute to Bombers’ fans.

The rings include the 'W' logo on the top of the ring, that is surrounded by a halo made of 10K yellow gold and it is engraved to say 'Grey Cup Champions'.

On the bottom of the Grey Cup, there are 33 diamonds which signify how many point the Blue Bombers scored in their win over the Hamilton Tiger Cats, 33-25.

There are also 12 sapphire stone on the outer edge of the ring which equals the number of championships the team has won.

On the sides of the rings, one has the player's name, position and number in diamonds, and the other is a tribute to Winnipeg fans. The team took a real photo of fans cheering taken during the season and etched it on the side. The fans are framed by the arches of IG Field.

One of those fans is Tyson Ducharme.

"Well I saw the picture of the section 140 that we sit in and I knew right away. So I started scanning the picture for myself and it was just a shock. Thought it was hilarious. Loved it," said Ducharme.

He said he immediately started messaging friends and family who all thought it was really cool.

Ducharme said he has been going to games since around 2004 and has travelled to see the team play in Labour Day games and was in Calgary in 2019 when they won the Grey Cup.

The team's record is also engraved on the bottom of the ring and inside it includes a personalized message for each player, as well as the Grey Cup score and the terms 'FIFO' and 'For The W'.

All season ticket holders were able to get a free replica of the ring on Sunday.

The Blue Bombers will look to start their back-to-back title defence on June 10 when they host the Ottawa Redblacks.
