The Portland Timbers honored their 2015 MLS Cup victory with what has to be one of the most beautiful winners' keepsakes around, as the club unveiled a diamond-studded ring given to each member of the team to mark the club's first-ever championship.
Players and staff were given a customized ring featuring the Timbers' logo featuring 91 diamonds on the face. One side features the players' name, while the other has the team's name and MLS Cup:
The inside of the band is engraved with the date of the club's triumph, too, as well as the words "History Made" and "RCTID" (Rose City 'Til I Die).
"We wanted to represent a championship in the right way, a classy way," Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said. "(Owner) Merritt Paulson was really good about not cutting corners and investing in a really nice ring that will cement the championship and be something that we - all of us - can have forever to remind us what we did."
Gorgeous stuff.
