MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just in time for the kick off of the 2017-18 college football season, the
College Football Playoff (CFP) has renewed its partnership with Jostens to create its College Football Playoff National
Championship ring through the 2020 season. Jostens is the leading creator of championship rings for high school, college and
professional champions, including 33 of the past 51 Super Bowls and the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs.
“Jostens is honored to partner with the CFP to present the College Football Playoff National Championship ring,” said Chris
Poitras, vice president, Jostens. “Jostens has a rich tradition of helping athletes at all levels celebrate their highest levels of
achievement, and this beautiful ring will continue that tradition for these teams, their schools, and their fans.”
Jostens has created the CFP’s championship ring since 2014. Past CFP national championship rings have been awarded to Ohio
State University (2014), University of Alabama (2015), and Clemson University (2016).
Created by the Jostens Championship Design team, the CFP’s custom designed, handcrafted ring features more than 50 cubic
zirconia set in Silver Elite, Jostens’ exclusive mix of fine metals. One side will feature the team personalization, and the other
side will feature the CFP logo and additional team personalization.
"We are pleased to continue our connection with Jostens to create the College Football Playoff National Championship ring,” said
College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock. "The Jostens folks do first-class work."
