RAYMOND BERRY, AND TO RECEIVE NEW HALL OF FAME RINGS OF EXCELLENCE IN TRIBUTE TO BALTIMORE FOOTBALL ICONS TO TAKE PLACE AT HALFTIME OF RAVENS-BROWNS GAME ON SUNDAY

CANTON, OHIO – The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay® Jewelers will honor three legendary Hall of Famers – end , defensive end Gino Marchetti, and Lenny Moore – as each will receive their new Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence on Sunday. The ceremony will take place at halftime of the home game against the Cleveland Browns.

Berry, Marchetti, and Moore were iconic figures in Baltimore during the 1950s and 1960s, an era when the Colts were among the NFL’s most dominant teams. All three of the Colts Hall of Famers were integral pieces to a Colts team that captured back-to-back NFL championships in 1958 and 1959. The franchise relocated to Indianapolis following the 1983 season. Baltimore’s great football tradition was reborn in 1996 with the formation of the Ravens. Baltimore’s Marching Ravens band will perform during Sunday’s halftime festivities.

Kay® Jewelers, the official Jewelry store of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, redesigned the Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence in 2013. As part of the partnership between the Hall of Fame and Kay® Jewelers, all living members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will receive the new Ring of Excellence in special presentations over the next three seasons.

A fact sheet and full schedule of the 2015 Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence presentations can be found at ProFootballHOF.com/HOF-Ring.aspx.
