The team pulled off the Grey Cup win over the Calgary Stampeders last November, in only its third season as a franchise. The Stamps were the heavy favourites heading into the game, and even forced it into overtime before Ottawa got the win.
The championship rings feature the team’s signature R in the centre. They’re engraved on one side with the last name and number of each player. On the other side, you can see a motif of the Parliament buildings, TD Place Stadium, the 104th Grey Cup and the year 2016. On the inside of the ring, the final 39-33 OT score of the REDBLACKS’ Grey Cup win over Calgary is displayed, but the ring also features the final score of the team’s 35-23 East Final win over the Edmonton Eskimos.
Ottawa is hosting the 105th Grey Cup at TD Place on November 26, 2017.
