2001 Jake Hallum New England Patriots Super Bowl XXXVI Championship Ring With Original Presentation Box
The Legendary 2001 New England Patriots Super Bowl Ring
A Historic Season
In the annals of NFL history, the 2001 New England Patriots season stands as a testament to resilience and unexpected triumph. After franchise quarterback Drew Bledsoe was injured early in the season, the untested Tom Brady stepped in, transforming a struggling 0-2 team into AFC East Champions with an impressive 11-5 record. This remarkable turnaround set the stage for a playoff run that would culminate in the Patriots’ first-ever Super Bowl victory.
The Road to Glory
The Patriots’ playoff journey was nothing short of extraordinary. It began with a memorable victory over the Raiders in the AFC Divisional round, a game forever etched in history as “The Snow Bowl.” Following this, the Patriots dispatched the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game, setting up a Super Bowl XXXVI showdown against the formidable St. Louis Rams, known as “The Greatest Show on Turf.” In a nail-biting finish, kicker Adam Vinatieri secured his place in New England lore by nailing a 48-yard field goal as time expired, sealing a 20-17 victory.
The Super Bowl Ring
This exquisite piece of football memorabilia is a symbol of the Patriots’ historic achievement. Crafted by Jostens, the ring is a size “11” and weighs 71 grams. The top center proudly displays the word “WORLD,” while “CHAMPIONS” is raised at the bottom. At the heart of the ring, the Patriots’ team symbol is rendered in blue and red stone, encircled by small diamonds, and set against a raised diamond version of the Lombardi Trophy. The face of the ring is adorned with small diamonds, adding to its grandeur.
