    Is it just me or do the two oranges clash really bad between the Longhorn and the orange that surrounds the top of the ring?

    Yeah the orange base is definitely not right. Maybe the ring manufacturer was limited on their color choices?

    I think the materials are the same, why couldn't have they just used the Burnt Orange for the rectangular part? Basically it is a sticker underneath the glass part of the ring right?

    Tourney championship warrants a ring ??? I thought that should be reserved for regular season titles.

    OSU orange and brown ???? Color scheme is bad on that ring.

    The Big 12 Tournament is a Big 12 Championship that not only gets the winning team rings, but a trophy too.

    It also gets you an automatic bid to the NCAA Tourney, just like the basketball tournament does, which is also designated as a Big 12 Championship.

    It's always been this way.

    Augie didn't have anything to do with the design of those rings or the color scheme. Do you really think any coach does?

    ^ Well he forced these improperly colored rings upon us by having the audacity to go out and win a big 12 baseball tournament! :smile1:

    Are you sure the Bevo head is painted? At the angle of the photo, looks like it could be gold, just dark because of the angle.

    In that case, no burnt orange on the ring at all.

    Seeing as how much success Augie has had as being, at least in my opinion, hands down the best college baseball coach in the history of the sport, I doubt he cares at all what conference tournament ring designs are.

    Regardless, despite the clash, I like it! I played with some of those guys in high school, and no one deserves a ring much more than people like Parker French or Collin Shaw. Those guys were tremendous leaders :hookem:

    Yea, I know all about him. He's got a solid case, no doubt. But the argument Augie would have over him is winning championships in four different decades, as well as being the all time wins leader.

    Also I'm slightly biased :smile1:

    Looks like the Horns got the shaft when it comes to championship rings... Iowa State's rings from the past two basketball tournaments:

    Since we seem to be looking for a fashion statement, here's hoping we have shoes and belts to match the rings.

    Dudes, the ring is fine.
