Overview
- Before the season opener against the Rockets, the Thunder raised their championship banner and received rings, with Commissioner Adam Silver presenting leaders first and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drawing MVP chants and delivering a thank-you speech.
- The rings feature a top that opens to reveal an inner band, with players’ signatures and jersey numbers in diamonds, crafted in 14-karat white and yellow gold with blue and orange sapphires and more than 800 hand-set stones, including 94 diamonds on the inner band.
- Design details honor the team and city, including the 68-14 regular-season mark, engravings of the four playoff series, the Oklahoma state motto “Labor Omnia Vincit,” and a tribute to the Oklahoma City National Memorial’s Gates of Time and Reflecting Pool.
- The Champions Collective, a Jostens entity, manufactured the rings, though at least one outlet attributed design credit to Jason of Beverly Hills, a claim not reflected in Jostens’ materials.
- The team has not disclosed the per-ring cost; reports note typical NBA ring costs vary widely and that the league covers the expense while teams choose the design.
