Eagle-eyed NFL fans spot permanent ‘mistake’ on $50k 14.8-carat Chiefs Super Bowl rings as fans call it ’embarrassing’
NFL fans noticed a brutal error on the 14.8-carat Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl rings.
The permanent mistake on the $50,000 rings was spotted when the Kansas City Chiefs unveiled their championship rings on Thursday night.
Kansas City held a ring ceremony for their 2023-24 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers as players, coaches, and front-office employees were handed the bling at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
The band has 529 diamonds and 38 rubies with engravings around it.
The top of the engraving inside the ring listed the Chiefs' 26-7 Wild Card victory over the Miami Dolphins.
However, observant fans noticed on social media that a graphic showing the ring displayed the Dolphins as a No. 7 seed which was inaccurate as they were the sixth seed in the AFC.

"How do you mess this up," one asked.
"Someone is losing their job," another said.
"That is downright embarrassing," a third added.

It was noted, however, from Kansas City Fox 4 anchor Harold Kuntz that the mistake might only be on the graphic revealed to the public.
The real ring usually costs between $30,000 and $50,000.
Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and many more appeared at the event.
The ring includes four marquise diamonds which represent the team's four Lombardi trophies.
The bottom of the trophies are made from 19 custom-cut baguette diamonds which honors the Chiefs as the first franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls in 19 seasons.
The top of the ring opens to show an inscription of the Tom & Jerry play - a nickname of the play in which Mahomes threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Melcole Hardman to win their latest Super Bowl.
The inside of the ring has a uniqueness to each recipient's time with the Kansas City club.
The inside has the word "united" on it, which was the Chiefs' motto last season, as well as scores of each of the team's 2023-24 playoff wins and every player's signature.
The Chiefs have had mandatory minicamps this week as their quest for a three-peat will begin at training camp next month.
"Every year in this league, you have to come in with that same mentality, you have to be hungry,' Mahomes said at the event.
"It's hard.
"You saw last year, you've seen it every year that I've been here.
