Dodgers Unveil 2025 World Series Rings: See the Dazzling Designs
Clayton Kershaw returned to Dodger Stadium Friday for a pregame ceremony. He jogged out of the dugout in his No. 22 jersey and took the ball from manager Dave Roberts.
Ceremony and new front-office role
After a ceremonial first pitch, teammates presented Kershaw with his 2025 championship ring. Players had received their rings earlier in the day.
The ceremony capped a two-day celebration of the Dodgers’ 2025 title. Kershaw said the moment felt like a fitting end to his playing career.
He will remain with the organization in a new capacity. The Athletic first reported he will join the Dodgers as a special assistant in the front office.
Design highlights
The Dodgers unveiled the 2025 World Series rings, revealing dazzling designs fans can see up close. The pieces are heavy with diamonds and blue sapphires.
Engravings of both the 2024 and 2025 trophies appear on the outside and inside. The L.A. logo contains 17 custom-cut blue sapphires.
Those 17 stones represent every postseason game Los Angeles played last season. The underside lists the four playoff series and the World Series Game 7 date, 11.01.25.
Special details and personalization
The ring top holds dirt taken from home plate during Game 7. The soil sits beneath a small glass window that becomes visible when the ring opens.
A bespoke inner band also features sapphires and a diamond. The bottom of the ring shows the 2025 season attendance, 4,012,470, rendered in blue.
Each ring is engraved with the recipient’s signature, last name, and number. Those personal touches make every piece unique.
Reactions and next steps
Kershaw had watched batting practice before the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also appeared on NBC during the Dodgers’ 8-2 win the previous night.
He said he does not miss the daily grind of playing. He does miss teammates and the clubhouse camaraderie.
Kershaw added he expects to stay involved from afar. He will watch games and help the team in smaller ways when possible.
Context of the celebration
The ring ceremony was the second installment of opening-week festivities. On opening day the club raised a new championship banner and displayed trophies from back-to-back titles.
Fans and players alike got an up-close look at the rings and their symbolism. The elaborate designs underline the franchise’s recent run of success.
