The Champions Ring

The Champions Ring captures the history of sports championships through artful data visualization, turning the concept of a traditional sports bracket on its head. Each year's full playoffs for each league are represented by a radial bracket, revealing team performance patterns over time through the use of color. The Champions Ring includes a total of 427 brackets depicting the entire history of MLB (baseball), NBA (basketball), NHL (hockey), NFL (football), MLS (soccer), World Cup (soccer), Euro (soccer), Champions League (soccer). Designer, Deroy Peraza of Hyperakt says, "I’ve loved sports since I was a little kid. It wasn’t just that I loved the games, I loved the numbers, the history and the team colors. I spent endless hours memorizing stats and drawing interpretations of team logos. I dreamed of being able to see the history of sports, and each team’s legacy within it, at a glance. I’ve granted my 10-year-old self that wish with The Champions Ring." Poster size fine-art prints of all the brackets will be available for sale through TheChampionsRing.com soon. Each radial bracket is hand-crafted with love in Brooklyn by Hyperakt and beautifully printed by Curioos on 100% cotton rag 200gsm fine art paper. Visit TheChampionsRing.com
