In a grand ceremony befitting baseball royalty, the Los Angeles Dodgers were honored by Jostens with one of the most intricately designed and meaningful championship rings in Major League Baseball history. Commemorating their eighth World Series title, the Dodgers’ new ring is a stunning piece of craftsmanship that not only celebrates the team’s victory in the 2024 Fall Classic, but also pays homage to the franchise’s storied legacy, unwavering fanbase, and the individual moments that defined a championship run for the ages.
This celebration marks a pinnacle in the Dodgers’ modern dynasty — a team that has now captured three championships since 2020. But the 2024 victory, punctuated by grit, resilience, and the dazzling brilliance of superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, deserved a ring as iconic as the journey itself. Enter Jostens, the legendary ring-maker synonymous with championship prestige.
A Ring to Remember
The ring is more than a piece of jewelry; it’s a narrative, meticulously engraved in gold, platinum, and diamonds. Jostens pulled out all the stops for the Dodgers, creating a design that reflects both heritage and innovation. Featuring approximately 200 diamonds, over 50 sapphires, and the rich use of 14-karat white and yellow gold, the Dodgers’ 2024 World Series ring is not just dazzling — it’s symbolic.
Front and center on the ring’s face is a custom-crafted interlocking “LA” logo made entirely of blue sapphires. This is set atop a brilliant diamond-studded World Series trophy silhouette, with eight baguette-cut diamonds lining the base — one for each of the franchise’s championships (1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988, 2020, and 2024). Surrounding the logo are cascading waves of diamonds that form a baseball diamond design, with the four bases marked in miniature gold accents.
On the ring’s crown are the words “World Champions” in raised gold lettering, encircling the front of the ring like a coronation crown. Beneath it lies a hidden engraving only visible under certain lighting: “It’s Our Time”—the Dodgers’ rallying cry throughout the playoffs, engraved in micro-text on the inside of the band.
Every Detail Tells a Story
Jostens took a unique approach in designing the ring, working closely with Dodgers front office executives and player representatives. The result is a design that tells the story of the 2024 championship journey, not just the destination.
The left side of the ring bears each player’s name in gold lettering above their jersey number. Just beneath, an etching of Dodger Stadium’s iconic façade stretches across the side panel, honoring the franchise’s connection to its beloved home. For fans, this piece of architecture is more than concrete and steel — it is a sanctuary, and its place on the ring represents the spiritual heartbeat of Los Angeles baseball.
On the right side of the ring is the year “2024” in bold type, beneath which lies an engraving of the Commissioner’s Trophy, brilliantly cast in gold. Behind it is a finely detailed skyline of Los Angeles at night, with Dodger blue sapphires twinkling like city lights. This design feature salutes both the city that never stops dreaming and the fans who light up the stadium every game night.
Perhaps the most moving detail, however, is inside the ring’s band. Engraved there is the series score from each of the Dodgers’ playoff rounds — a reminder of the battles fought and won. Most notably, the Dodgers’ incredible comeback from a 3-2 deficit in the NLCS against the Braves is emphasized with the phrase “Battle-Tested”, engraved just above the final 4-3 tally.
Built for Legends
While the ring itself is breathtaking, it also honors the individual performances that propelled Los Angeles to glory. Shohei Ohtani, who became the first player in history to win the World Series MVP while both pitching and DH’ing, receives a special inscription on the inside of his ring — “Unicorn MVP,” a nod to his singular skill set and irreplaceable role in the Dodgers’ triumph.
Mookie Betts, whose clutch hitting and Gold Glove defense in right field turned the tide in multiple postseason games, is commemorated with a small glove and bat icon under his name. Freddie Freeman, who hit over .400 during the playoffs, has a diamond-inlaid bat knob etched into the bottom corner of his ring’s face.
The design even includes a nod to manager Dave Roberts, who became the first Black manager in MLB history to win multiple World Series titles. His ring features a discreet laurel wreath engraving on the inner band alongside the number “2,” marking his second championship at the helm.
The Ceremony: A Night of Champions
The official ring presentation took place at Dodger Stadium in a raucous, sold-out home opener against the rival San Francisco Giants. The emotional ceremony was attended by franchise legends including Clayton Kershaw, Kirk Gibson, Fernando Valenzuela, and Tommy Lasorda’s family, who helped unveil a commemorative video montage highlighting the franchise’s eight titles.
As fireworks painted the sky and the World Series banner was raised in right field, players emerged one by one to receive their rings. Each received a standing ovation, but the loudest cheers were reserved for Ohtani, who held his ring aloft with a boyish grin that captured the moment’s magic.
“This isn’t just a ring — it’s a memory you can wear,” said Ohtani through a translator. “I’ll cherish this for the rest of my life.”
The Dodgers ownership group, led by Mark Walter, also received honorary rings, along with key members of the front office including President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. Friedman, the architect behind the team’s success, praised the symbolism behind the ring.
“This ring honors every piece of this organization — the players, coaches, scouts, and most of all, the fans. It’s a legacy forged in diamond,” he said.
Jostens’ Legacy of Craftsmanship
Jostens has long been the trusted name behind championship hardware in American sports, and this Dodgers ring adds another landmark to its legacy. With state-of-the-art 3D design tools, hand-set stones, and laser engraving, Jostens delivered a ring that reflects both baseball’s timelessness and today’s innovation.
“Each element in this ring was chosen with intention and precision,” said Chris Poitras, VP of Professional Sports at Jostens. “The Dodgers’ legacy is unique — blending tradition with dominance — and this ring was designed to tell that story.”
Notably, Jostens also collaborated on a limited edition fan replica collection, allowing Dodgers Nation to share in the celebration. These replicas come in three tiers — Classic, Deluxe, and Collector’s Edition — each featuring varying levels of craftsmanship and detail. The Collector’s Edition, available in select quantities, is nearly identical to the players’ ring and comes housed in a glass display case with LED lighting and a personalized inscription.
The Future Looks Bright
With an eighth World Series championship in tow and a core roster still in its prime, the Dodgers are not resting on their laurels. The 2025 season brings new challenges, but the organization’s blend of star power, deep pitching, and elite development promises more opportunities to add to their jewelry collection.
As fans filed out of Chavez Ravine after the ring ceremony, many stopped to take photos of the newly installed World Series plaque on the stadium’s Wall of Champions. Children pointed in awe. Older fans wiped away tears. For many, this ring was more than recognition — it was vindication for decades of loyalty, passion, and hope.
One longtime season-ticket holder said it best: “I’ve seen the highs and the heartbreaks. This ring? It’s everything. It says, ‘We did it — again.’”
Final Thoughts
Jostens’ 2024 World Series ring for the Los Angeles Dodgers is not merely a tribute to victory; it is a masterpiece of storytelling and identity. In every facet — from its 200 diamonds to its symbolic inscriptions — the ring encapsulates the essence of what it means to be a Dodger. It’s about triumph, history, and the unbreakable bond between a team and its city.
