BC Lions Grey Cup Rings

[Robbie]

Hi Derek,

On the site where you have pictures of the previous BC Lions Grey Cup rings:

http://www.lionbackers.com/history/gcring.html

Here are some additional pictures that you can add.

You have a small picture of the 2000 Grey Cup ring, but you can add this one as well. This is Lui Passaglia's 2000 Grey Cup ring and it shows all three sides of it.



You also have a picture of the 1985 Grey Cup ring. Here is an additional picture of it in case you want to use it.



Finally, now that the 1964 BC Lions have finally received their Grey Cup rings, here are pictures of it that was taken from news articles. I couldn't find any closeups of the ring.

Wonder if players on the practice roster gets rings.

Of course, as soon as it comes out, you will need to update your page with a picture of the 2006 Grey Cup Championship ring.

Always a pleasure to do an update that features a new Grey Cup Ring!

I cant wait to see them! How long do they usually take to come out with them?

You can right click on the pictures and check the properties to see where the source is from. But to answer your question:

From what I recall from the 2000 win, they came out about four months later. And unlike what other championship teams do, the Lions did not wait until a pre-game ceremony at the 2001 season opener to hand out the rings.

Hey Derek, with the revealing of the 2006 Grey Cup ring, it looks like you have some updates to do on your Grey Cup ring page.

As I mentioned in the other thread, the BC Lions page has a pretty clear picture of the ring.

Pressing pause on one of the video files on the ring presentation, I was able to capture the two sides of McCallum's ring.

It is amazing how different the colour "gold" can look if you compare that gold ring to the Eskimos "gold" coloured uniforms.....

Good picture there Derek, that is a clean looking ring and I bet it is half the size of the 06 GC Championship ring.

Good find, Derek.

I count 24 diamonds in the 1964 Grey Cup ring, which is much more generous than the 3 diamonds on the 1985 Grey Cup ring. I guess that's minimal redemption for a reward that was presented 42 years late.
