Judging from the reaction during Friday'sceremony at the Canadian Museum of History, players and coaches couldn't wait to try them on.

"It's the end of a long road. A lot of people deserve a lot of credit for getting us to this point, and it's just nice to see that last piece of jewelry we've all been waiting for," said Ottawa Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins after the ceremony.

"This is kind of one last reminder of what we were able to accomplish as a group."

The team also tweeted out photos of players posing with their fancy new jewelry, as well as a video showing how the rings were made.

The team won't have long to bask in the rings' ample glow, however: training camp for the 2017 CFL season gets underway this weekend.
