Michigan Posts Video, Photos of Rings Celebrating CFB National Title-Winning Season

Michigan football is celebrating its undefeated 2023 season with four championship rings.

The program unveiled the rings Saturday ahead of the Michigan spring game.

In addition to a ring representing the national championship, Michigan players received a CFP championship ring, Big Ten championship ring and Rose Bowl championship ring, according to Jostens.

The national championship ring features the team's 15-0 record, as well as the word "BET."

The engraving appears to reference the response from Michigan players, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy and program legend Tom Brady, to the Big Ten's suspension of former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh in November.

The inside of the national championship ring also features the phrase "Those who stay will be champions," a slogan connected to both Harbaugh and College Football Hall of Famer Bo Schembechler.

As described by Jostens, the outside of the ring features a dozen stones representing Michigan's 12 national titles, as well as two more slogans: "MICHIGAN VS. EVERYBODY" and "WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US? NOOOOBODY!"

The latter is a phrase coined by the Harbaugh family, which Jim Harbaugh used as a rallying cry during Michigan's run to the title in 2024, according to USA Today's Kevin Skiver.

The ring is additionally adorned with the NRG Stadium in Houston, where Michigan earned the championship victory over Washington, as well as the 34-13 final score.

Other rings also featured Michigan slogans. The inside the Rose Bowl ring is engraved with another Harbaugh slogan, "Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind."

McCarthy was present during Saturday's spring game between the Maize and Blue. The former Wolverines quarterback appeared to be wearing some of the new bling as he showed off his rings to the cameras.

McCarthy, a projected first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and Harbaugh, the newly-hired coach of the Los Angeles Rams, won't be returning to Michigan next season. At least they'll have four championship ring— and in Harbaugh's case, a tattoo— to remember Michigan's 2023 season.
