I would want the Stanley Cup itself to feature most prominently and leave the team crap to the sides.
Personally, I am someone who think most mens' rings (i.e. signet rings or tungsten rings) are so dull and uninspired looking. Womens' rings (particularily engagement rings of different types) are just so much nicer.

What I like about championship rings in sports is that they're just about the only opportunity for male-identifying individuals to have something flashy and ostentatious. Quite frankly I would love it if a Flames championship ring were loaded with a C of padparaschas and rubies. Not tacky to me.

It's not unlike wearing a medallion on your neck... you're not supposed to wear it as a casual accessory... but it's still nice to be able to wear it to a team reunion or something.
