Looks cool, but if you buy something instead of earning it, it kind of defeats The point doesn’t it?


Value is in the winning of the thing

I’ll fix that.

This would be ok if it says "Replica Ring" across the top in 12 pt bold font.

I bought the ‘58, ‘03, and ‘07 off DHgate last nite for under $30 total.

If they look cool, they’ll go next to the LSU helmet in the man cave. Once they have time to bootleg the ‘19, I’d get that too. If they look terrible, I’ll give them to my nephew or something.

Surprised at all the hate on the idea of buying a replica though, especially for so cheap. I assume 99% of people display them rather than trying to pass of as a 30 yr old championship winner from 1958.

Somewhat related, I’ve always though wearing jerseys is cringy for an adult, but it’s interesting that it’s generally accepted in NFL, yet almost universally trashy for CFB.

Keep me updated on how they look. I was considering doing the same.

Gents, the wearable ring they're offering is not a replica of the championship ring the team received. It is a fan ring to commemorate the championship. If someone bought me one, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it. I'd probably get a nice box to display it in with my other memorabilia.

I definitely want the paperweight which is, in fact, a replica of the team's ring - but not wearable unless you're Andre the Giant.

Some of you worry way too much about what other people like.

I have a replica 07 ring in a little clear box next to all my LSU signed baseballs. I don’t think anything is wrong with that, it’s not as big as the real thing and nobody is going to mistake me for a one time college football player.

Ringchamp.com has all 3 replica rings from this year as well as other natty rings if you want them. $65 a piece.

Saw that..seriously considering pulling the trigger. I don't think what they have on display with the new ones is what you actually get, but the past rings they have look quality

2 of those championship rings would make a nice pair of cuff links...Kinda like what Robert Craft has done with his Super Bowl rings

Anyone that buys one and wears it is suspect.
