Thunderbird Rings

People identify with it in a glance, even across crowded airport terminals the world over. It sets you apart. It is as unique as each T-bird.

This Thunderbird ring was designed by Hannis T. Latham, III ‘71 in 1978, and is based on the American Indian Thunderbird design that closely follows the original architectural layout of the buildings and grounds of Thunderbird Field #1. When seen from the air, the grounds replicate the familiar Thunderbird design.

Worn by thousands of T-birds, faculty and students around the world, the ring is a symbol of the school in the international business community.
