The Chiefs Appeared To Overlook A Typo On Their Newest Super Bowl Rings

On Thursday, members of the Kansas City Chiefs got some massive bling to commemorate their victory in Super Bowl LVIII, but it appears the franchise overlooked a typo that was etched into the final product.

Super Bowl rings have come a long, long way since the Packers handed out pieces of jewelry that featured a single diamond all the way back in 1967, and in recent years, NFL teams have repeatedly upped the ante thanks to the increasingly complex and creative designs that have been dreamed up.

This year was no exception, as the Kansas City Chiefs once again pulled out all the stops for the rings they commissioned to celebrate their third championship in the past five years.

The rings in question—which feature a grand total of 14.8 carats between the 529 diamonds and 38 rubies they’re adorned with—are overflowing with symbolism to pay tribute to a variety of achievements the Chiefs racked up during their most recent championship campaign.

The top also opens up to unveil a diagram of the game-winning “Tom and Jerry” play as well as a miniature field that’s customized for each person to reflect the number of times they’ve won a Lombardi Trophy with Kansas City, and the interior features their signature along with a list of the opponents the Chiefs beat in the postseason en route to winning it all.

The name of each opponent is also accompanied by their seed in the playoffs, and it didn’t take long for people to notice a tiny mistake due to the fact that the Dolphins are listed as a seven-seed when they were actually the sixth in the AFC.

At the end of the day, it’s a pretty minor oversight that can’t even be detected when the ring is being worn, so it’ll be interesting to see if the franchise cares enough to spend the time, effort, and money that would be required to fix it.
