Three former Baltimore Colts and icons of the team’s 1950s and 1960s dominance are about to get some new bling.
Former running back Lenny Moore, end/wide receiver Raymond Berry and defensive end Gino Marchetti will receive new Hall of Fame rings this Sunday during a halftime presentation at M&T Bank Stadium.
The “Ring of Excellence” has nearly two carats of diamonds arranged in the shape of a football. The ring is one of three iconic symbols of membership in the NFL’s exclusive club, along with the Hall of Fame gold jacket and bronzed bust.
This year, the NFL launched a program of giving that gives all living Hall of Famers a new ring because their old rings didn’t measure up to the ones being given to more recent enshrines enshrinees.
