This ring is an extraordinary symbol of Paul Hornungs role with the NFL Champion Packers in 1966 themiddle year of the teams extraordinary three year run that culminated with victories in the first twoSuper Bowls in history.
A pinched nerve in his neck restricted Hornung to only nine games in his final NFL season and kept himout of that historic Jan. 15 1967 clash between the Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs champions of theupstart American Football League that had agreed to merge with the older established National FootballLeague in a series of negotiations the previous spring and summer. Green Bay prevailed by a 35-10 marginthat was in the first half at least closer than the final score might make it appear. The historic game washeld at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and was the only Super Bowl in history that was not sold outdespite an impressive attendance of 62000 at the mammoth facility. Few could imagine then how the gamewould evolve into the most anticipated watched and celebrated event in sports.
This ring was produced by Jostens in recent years at the approval of the Green Bay Packers for Hornungto replace the original he no longer possessed. Keeping to the exceptionally detailed original design thesuperb quality gold ring features a diamond atop a globe motif setting encircled by the words WORLDCHAMPIONS 1966 GREEN BAY PACKERS. The JOSTENS 10K stamp appears inside the band. Ring size is Size 12.
