How to Choose the Best Fantasy Football Ring for Your League

Fantasy Football Rings in Gold and Silver

A fantasy football ring is one of the best fantasy football award ideas because they’re like a wearable championship trophy that goes everywhere you go.  Sure, some might be big & gaudy, but that never stopped NFL players from flashing their Super Bowl bling!  

Why should you be any different?

But not all fantasy football rings are created equal. The last thing you want is to buy a fantasy football ring that will turn your league champion’s finger green (even though that would be really funny)!  

So let’s look at some factors to consider when buying a ring.

If you’re looking for ways to lighten up your fantasy football league, consider buying a fantasy football loser trophy that can be shared among your last-place teams from year to year.

Factors to consider before you buy a championship ring

When searching for the best fantasy football ring, there are a few critical factors to consider.  

  • Metal Composition – The metals used in a ring’s construction dictate its weight and strength.  Cheap metals are light, easily damaged, and can discolor your skin.
  • Vendor Reputation – Limit your choices to football ring vendors with the best user reviews and responsive replies to user concerns.  Every merchant in this review is an established company with proven customer service. 
  • Affordability – Don’t overpay for a ring.  The fantasy football rings in this review are comparable in price to your average fantasy trophy.  Awesome fantasy football trophies usually cost right around $100, but a quality championship ring should cost substantially less.
  • Ring Size Availability – Picking a fantasy football ring with just the right fit is critical.  Before you buy a fantasy championship ring, be sure the ring you choose is available in your league champ’s size

Why buy a fantasy football championship ring at all?

Comparison of fantasy football championship ring to a trophy

Championship rings are not a new concept.  The NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB all sports championship rings to the players of their respective championship teams.  These rings are coveted awards, and an athlete’s number of rings is often used as a measuring stick to judge that player’s career.

The same theory applies to awarding a championship ring in fantasy sports leagues.  It’s a unique and righteous way to recognize the most dominant team in your league.  

For years, the only option for fantasy leagues when awarding prizes was to buy a trophy.  Now, leagues can choose between trophies, fantasy rings, and even fantasy championship belts (check out my list of the best fantasy football belts).   

Buying a quality fantasy ring and avoiding costume jewelry

When evaluating any ring, pay particular attention to the metals used to manufacture the ring.  Cheap rings that are coated with metals such as copper can interact with chemicals in your skin to leave an ugly green ring on your finger.

This may have been acceptable when you were ten years old and got your jewelry from a $.50 bubble-gum machine.  But now that you’ve “matured”, it’s time to start enjoying some of the greater things in life.

None of the football rings in this review contain copper.  They are all comprised of heavy and durable metals including zinc and metal alloys, then usually plated with gold or silver.  

Rest assured that when purchasing one of these fantasy football rings, you’ll be receiving a quality piece of jewelry that will last.

Why leagues award fantasy championship rings yearly

Some leagues have a trophy that gets passed between champions from year to year.  These perpetual trophies typically have large, engravable plates that provide room to etch the names of the championship teams.  

Naturally, fantasy football rings don’t fit into this prize model because of their small size. There is only limited space for engraving anything beyond maybe the year.

But another reason why you can’t pass a ring along from champion to champion is that your league champs almost certainly have different ring size requirements.  As such, it makes more sense to award a championship ring each and every year.  

Luckily, fantasy football ring prices are very reasonable, making this type of award affordable for just about any fee-based league.  Even with a nominal $5 entry fee each year, leagues can comfortably afford to award a championship ring every year.

As a matter of fact, a 12-man league with a $5 entry fee could afford our top-ranked championship ring for 2023.

Determine or estimate your ring size before you buy

Each fantasy ring manufacturer produces a different range of ring sizes.   Knowing your target ring size before buying a ring is essential because size availability could limit your options.

Ring vendors typically carry the most common ring sizes but sometimes have limited stock for each size.  As such, ring size is an essential consideration (maybe the most important factor) to ponder when buying a ring.  

If you don’t know your ring size, it’s very straightforward to figure it out using one of the methods described next.

Visit a local jeweler to get sized for your ring

Common ring sizing tools

Any jeweler can size your ring finger very quickly using a variety of different instruments.  If you have a ring that already fits you well, they can use a ring mandrel tool to determine its size.

 If they don’t have that tool, they’ll use metal ring sizers, which are ring-shaped templates that you try on until you find one that fits just right.

Visiting a jeweler is what I suggest if you want to get the most accurate fitting possible.  They eliminate the guesswork and will ensure you order a ring that fits comfortably. 

Even if you purchase a ring and it doesn’t quite fit right, most of the vendors reviewed in this article will be happy to exchange your ring for one with a better fit.  Just check out the customer reviews for each fantasy football ring.  You’ll see instances where customers have done just that, with no hassle.

Determine your ring size using household materials

If you’re pressed for time or don’t live near a jeweler, you can still get a rough estimate of your ring size MacGyver style.  Believe it or not, you can determine your ring size using everyday items found around your house.  

For instance, wrap a strip of paper or a piece of string around your ring finger and make a mark where they start to overlap.  Then, measure the paper or string with a ruler to get a length representing the circumference of your finger.  

Finally, use this sizing chart to determine your ring size based on the measured length.  The video below illustrates how easy it is to estimate your ring size.
