This is an official Jostens salesman sample of the championship ring issued to legendary head coach Hank Stram, crafted in 10k gold with cubic zirconia stones in place of diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eWhat is a salesman sample?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eSalesman samples were produced by the ring manufacturer — in this case Jostens — on the exact same machines and dies as the player- and staff-issued originals, meaning the construction, detail, and craftsmanship are completely identical. The primary difference is that samples use cubic zirconia (CZ) stones in place of diamonds. Everything else — the design, the gold, the engravings — is indistinguishable from the rings issued to the championship team. Samples like this were used by sales reps to show teams ring designs, and were never sold to the public, making them exceptionally rare today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Bowl IV was the final AFL-NFL World Championship Game before the two leagues merged, and the Chiefs' win evened the series between them at two games apiece. The Vikings were 12-2 and 13½-point favorites, and plenty of observers still doubted the AFL could compete. Kansas City answered by finishing second in the AFL West, then winning both of its playoff games on the road, beating the Jets 13-6 and the Raiders 17-7, before dismantling Minnesota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eDuring the game Head Coach Hank Stram was the first coach ever wired for sound during a Super Bowl. His recorded comments contributed to one of the most famous highlight films ever produced by NFL films. Len Dawson, who had missed six games with an injury during the season, was named Super Bowl MVP after completing 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; width: 40%; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eChampionship\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eSuper Bowl IV (1969 season)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eHank Stram, Head Coach (Staff-issued)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eSalesman sample\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e10k Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStones\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eCubic zirconia (CZ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eJostens\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eResult\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eKansas City Chiefs defeated Minnesota Vikings, 23-7\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eRegular Season Record\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e11-3\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 0 12px; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding-top: 18px;\"\u003e1969 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Ring — Quick Facts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #FFFFFF; padding-left: 20px; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eSuper Bowl IV was played January 11, 1970, at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eIt was the final AFL-NFL World Championship Game before the leagues merged, and the Chiefs' win tied the series at two games each.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eThe Chiefs finished second in the AFL West at 11-3 behind the Raiders, then won two playoff games on the road to reach the Super Bowl.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eLen Dawson was named Super Bowl MVP after missing six games earlier in the 1969 season with an injury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eHank Stram won three AFL titles (1962, 1966, 1969) and Super Bowl IV, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStram passed away on July 4, 2005.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthenticity Guaranteed.
