For the winners of football's highest honor, the bling truly is the thing. Each player and coach from a Super Bowl–winning team receives a ring to commemorate the momentous occasion. While fashions change over the decades, the past forty years of Super Bowls have seen one constant—enormous rings encrusted with a variety of jewels. Of course, all rings aren't created equal. That's why this fascinating feature from ESPN shines like a diamond. Behind the detailed pictures of all 40 rings, you'll find that each sparkly halo has its own tale. Find out that Torry Holt can't fit his ring from seven years ago over his mangled finger, Steve Young doesn't like wearing any of his three prizes, and the legendary Vince Lombardi had a hand in designing the finger pieces for the Super Bowl II winners. Whether you're into bling or just learning about the rings of football history, you'll find stories that sum up what's great about sports.
