Bullring
The ring... simple and infinite. A mystery lies in its eternal form. In the Ancient times of Kings and Emperors, the ring of the king held the sanction of his authority. When the king's subject saw the mere imprint of the ring in the sealing way of documents, they knew it came directly from the hands of their ruler.
Coming close to tradition in our present society, the academy's ring holds the same essence and invokes difference from anybody who recognizes its immense and symbolic value.
From individual to individual, the ring symbolizes a unique and meaningful part of their existence, Each individual carries with the ring a special history apart from it's own rich tale. Simple, yet profou
nd. It is plain in its form yet it holds an esoteric enigma of its own.In the mystery of its own circle, in the solidity of its own form, in the continuity of its infinite line - it binds you to the brotherhood. It transforms you into someone beyond what the powers of men unseasoned by the Academy could comprehend. It becomes your alterer, your connection to the eternal circuits of invaluable fraternity.
When the people see men wearing the Academy's ring, they will surely recognize power, will, discipline and legitimacy of your passage through the system. With the ring, you become legitimate brother in the entire fellowship of the Academy's alumni, You are welcome wherever you meet them in the corners of the world.
"PMMAérs"are not simply proud about the ring. They are fiercely religious abouit it. It is sacred as the ideals of any great institution. And it is personally profound as the experience it took to deserve it. The ring encircles the lawmen and even the great seaferer's in the world. He, who wears it, wears itt more proudly than anyy mere emperor or king, By wearing the bullring, you are taking a vow to be true and loyal to the brotherhood of the long blue line.
