Counterfeit versions of $10,000 Super Bowl rings intercepted by US border control officers
Customs officers in the US have seized a shipment of more than 100 counterfeit replica Super Bowl rings featuring the emblems past champion teams.
If the items of American football-themed jewellery confiscated by border force officials had been genuine, the 108 items would have been worth some $1,080,000.
Authentic replica rings of this nature typically retail for $10,000 each.
The rings, which bore the logos of a number of teams that have won the Super Bowl in previous years, were found in a parcel that had been sent from Hong Kong.
On inspecting the contents of the package, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers noted the poor craftsmanship of the rings, and contacted trademark holder the NFL to enquire as to their authenticity.
