June 15, 2023 – In the heart of Kansas City, a symbol of triumph emerged – the 2023 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVII Championship Ring.

In an exclusive video interview (Kingdom Short: Crowning The Champions | Making the Chiefs Super Bowl LVII Ring), Mark Donovan, the President of the Chiefs, and Clark Hunt, the Chairman and CEO, share the intimate details of the Championship Ring’s creation, reflecting on the team’s historic journey, the unwavering support of the fans, and the enduring legacy of Lamar Hunt, the founder of the Kansas City Chiefs.

This behind-the-scenes glimpse explores the significance of Arrowhead Stadium, the challenges faced during the Championship run, and the meticulous design process that encapsulates the essence of the Chiefs’ 50-year history.

Celebrating a Unique Team:

Mark Donovan emphasizes the distinctiveness of the Championship team, one that stands apart from its predecessors and sets a new standard for the Chiefs. The challenges faced and conquered during the Super Bowl LVII victory make this team truly exceptional.

“You really want to celebrate this team. This team is different than any other team that has ever played for the Chiefs and it will be different than any other team that plays going forward” said Mark Donovan, President of Kansas City Chiefs.

Lamar Hunt’s Proud Legacy:

Lamar Hunt’s vision is not only honoured but intricately woven into the fabric of the Chiefs’ success.

The video captures Lamar Hunt’s pride in being Champions of Pro Football and highlights the integral role the people of Kansas City play in the team’s triumphs.

Arrowhead’s Role and Fan Celebration:

Mark Donovan recounts the unforgettable experience of celebrating the victory at Arrowhead Stadium, emphasizing the profound connection between the team and its fans.

“And to be able to do that at Arrowhead in front of our fans was something I’ll never forget because it meant so much to us. It means so much to the family. And for our fans to be there to celebrate it was really, really special.”

“We’re very proud to be the Champions of Pro Football and the people of Kansas City. This trophy really belongs to them too, as well as the organization because the team is Kansas City” said Lamar Hunt, founder of the Kansas City Cheifs.

 

 

The significance of every draft pick and the necessity for every player, expected or unexpected, to perform is stressed, highlighting the team’s unity.

“Everything has to go your way, in a year when you win a Super Bow. Everything. Every bounce. Every injury. Every draft pick who was supposed to perform has to perform. Every free agent that nobody thought was going to perform has to perform.”

Donovan continued.

“They have to come together in that year. It’s another reminder that it’s so hard to get back just to get in the position to have the opportunity” said Donovan.

“So 57 was interesting right because 54 was on the list the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday after the games like ‘oh we gotta we gotta get going on a ring'” said Donovan.

Designing the NFL’s Super Bowl Championship Ring:

Clark Hunt sheds light on the challenges of designing the Championship Ring post-Super Bowl 54, impacted by the pandemic.

Clark Hunt describes the task of creating the Super Bowl Championship Rings as “You’re on a clock trying to get the rings, designed and then produced.”

However, on the positive side, Donovan expresses their experience by saying “The good news on that, is we had some experience recently.”

The subsequent year provided the Chiefs with the opportunity to create a Championship Ring ceremony that would be etched in memory.

“So following Super Bowl 54 unfortunately the pandemic made it tough to do a lot of things including to have a proper ring ceremony. This year, we get the chance to do it right. To really have a party that I think everybody who attends will remember for the rest of their life and I’m really looking forward to it” said Clark Hunt.

“If I had to put it into one word I would say “Excellence”. It’s validation of their talent, their hard work, and what they did when they came together to achieve something great” said Clark Hunt.

At the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Championship Ring ceremony, Clark Hunt prepared an introduction to the Chiefs’ Championship Ring saying the following.

“We were told we needed to make it iced out, so I had to Google what that meant, and then translate it and I learned that it meant we needed a lot of diamonds. So that’s what we did. Whether you wear it on a chain or you wear it on your finger I hope you think about teammates and you think about the people who made it all possible.”

The design, laden with diamonds, pays homage to the 50th year of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, embodying excellence and commemorating a special era in Chiefs’ football.

As the team had their first sight on their Super Bowl LVII Championship Ring, Donovan expressed “I like to focus on the second reaction, when they start looking at [the Championship Ring]it. When they start understanding all the unique aspects of it. That’s the part I’ll be watching pretty closely.”

As for the overall design of the custom football Championship Ring, Donovan was describing the idea of a top that comes off or a top that opens which has been done. What the team was looking to do was to take the concept of that and make it unique.

“In this year’s ring, in multiple ways pays homage to Arrowhead and how important it has been to this organization for the past five decades,” said Clark Hunt.
