Baron® Championship Rings Crafts Historic Ring for AFC Toronto

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 8, 2026, Toronto, ON — In May 2026, AFC Toronto captain Nikayla Small stepped onto the pitch at BMO Field and raised something no player had ever held before. The ring that belongs to the first-ever Northern Super League Supporters’ Shield Champions.

Baron® Championship Rings designed and crafted this very first Northern Super League Supporters’ Shield Championship Ring. Every stone, every engraving, every detail was built around the story of what this team accomplished in 2025.

That story is worth telling.

AFC Toronto didn’t just compete in the Northern Super League’s inaugural season. They owned it.

In a brand-new professional women’s soccer league, the youngest team in the NSL finished first overall with a record of 16-6-3 and a league-best 51 points. They held first place for 12 consecutive weeks. They scored more goals than any other club. They swept the individual awards: Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Midfielder of the Year, Assists Leader and put four players on the NSL Team of the Season. They drew 14,518 fans to their home opener. They set the standard for what this league could be.

Then they clinched the first-ever NSL Supporters’ Shield, and they did it their way.

When Baron® Championship Rings sat down to design the AFC Toronto ring, the brief was clear: this ring has to feel like the moment it represents. Historic. Bold. Built to last.

The front of the ring centers on a patterned Supporters’ Shield crafted in golden and white two-tone metals, encrusted with brilliant stones. AFC Toronto’s shield logo sits at the center in textured glass enamel, the club’s identity front and center, exactly where it belongs. The words “Supporters’ Shield Champions” are displayed along the outer edges because this team earned every letter of that title.

The left shoulder honours the history being made. The Northern Super League logo is prominently featured alongside the Championship year, set against a sophisticated AFC-branded pattern, a permanent tribute to the inaugural season title.

The right shoulder makes it personal. Each player’s name and number are rendered in glass enamel against a backdrop inspired by the iconic Toronto skyline, rooting the achievement in the city that rallied behind this club from day one.

Then there are the numbers that tell the season’s story. 51 red stones wrap the outside of the ring, one for each of the 51 points AFC Toronto accumulated in 2025. The inside is engraved with the team’s final regular-season record: 16-6-3. On the shank, stamped with precision, is the mantra that defined their season: Run It Our Way.

This ring doesn’t just celebrate what they won. It remembers how they won it.

“This isn’t just history being made, it’s a legacy being built, and we’re proud to help tell that story.”

Every ring crafted by Baron® starts with a team’s story: the season, the moments, the people and turns into a wearable and permanent Championship Ring. The AFC Toronto ring is exactly that: a piece of craftsmanship that a player can hold in her hands 20 years from now and feel exactly what it felt like to finish first.

AFC Toronto is a founding club in the Northern Super League, Canada’s new professional women’s soccer league. The club continues to deliver a winning culture for players, staff, and supporters as we head into our 2026 season.

Rooted in community and driven by purpose, AFC Toronto exists not only to compete at the highest level, but to create a platform for girls and women to lead, grow, and thrive — on and off the pitch. Guided by its ethos — Run It Our Way — the club is reimagining what it means to pursue excellence, build meaningful connections, and define success on its own terms.
