Berkshire 3 Rosette Award Ribbon, Bordered Prestige for Championship Awards

The Berkshire 3 Rosette Award Ribbon is one of the most ornately constructed ribbons in the Hodges Badge catalog, a 6-1/2" top built with seven points, seven bordered petals, and inner and bordered outer ruffles of tight pleating all finished with bordered streamers that carry the same polished edge detail from the rosette top to the bottom of the ribbon. Equestrian shows, dog shows, and fairs reach for the Berkshire when only the best will do for Grand Champion, Supreme Champion, or any top honor where the ribbon itself signals that something exceptional happened in that ring. Hodges Badge has produced championship-caliber award ribbons since 1920, and the Berkshire distills that 100+ year tradition into a single, unmistakable award.

Points and Petals, Form the Berkshire's Exceptional Construction

The Berkshire's construction is more detailed than any standard rosette in its class. Seven points, sharper and more structured than typical rounded petals, alternate with seven bordered petals around the central face. An inner and bordered outer ruffle of pleats, echoing the detail that runs through the streamers below. That border is a continuous visual cue that the Berkshire is not an ordinary placement ribbon: every element has been finished with the same care, from the outermost pleat to the tip of each streamer. The streamers also carry the bordered treatment on all three, with the exception of optional multicolor or foil side streamers which do not include borders. The center streamer holds 10 lines of gold-print text at 14 characters per line, and the rim center provides a clean, uncluttered display surface. Hodges Badge handcrafts every Berkshire at its Missouri facility, using the same exacting standards that have defined champion-class ribbons from this family-owned company since it was founded in 1920.

Streamer Lengths, Color Customization, and Event Planning

Three streamer lengths, 24", 30", and 36", produce total Berkshire lengths of 28", 34", and 40" respectively. Even the shortest configuration creates a commanding display; the 36" version at 40" total is appropriate for Grand Champion or Sweepstakes awards where the ribbon is meant to be seen across the entire venue. Add one or two solid ribbon colors at no extra charge to match your event's official palette, or choose multicolor, gingham, dandy or foil side streamers for a bolder presentation (noting that multicolor and foil side streamers forgo the bordered finish). Volume pricing is available.

Berkshire Rosette as the Centerpiece of Your Awards Program

A well-structured awards program uses ribbon design to communicate placement hierarchy at a glance, and the Berkshire's size, bordered construction, and seven-point silhouette do exactly that for the top of the ribbon order. Pairing the Berkshire for Champion and Grand Champion awards with a smaller, standard rosette for class placements creates clear visual differentiation that exhibitors recognize immediately. Hodges Badge's customer service team at 800-556-2440 can advise on how to combine styles across a full show program, and the Berkshire's broad color availability means it coordinates with virtually any ribbon palette. Because the bordered finish extends across most of the solid-color elements of the ribbon, choosing complementary border and ribbon colors is worth a conversation with the team before finalizing your order.

FAQs

What makes the Berkshire a premium ribbon? The Berkshire features seven points, seven bordered petals, inner and bordered outer ruffles, and bordered streamers, a level of construction detail that places it clearly above standard placement rosettes and communicates championship-level recognition at a glance.

Do multicolor or foil side streamers also have a border? No. Multicolor or foil side streamers do not carry the border finish; only solid-color side streamers on the Berkshire include the bordered treatment.

What total lengths does the Berkshire come in? The 24" streamer version measures 28" top to bottom; the 30" streamer is 34"; and the 36" streamer reaches 40", all large-format championship-scale ribbons.

Which events use the Berkshire? The Berkshire is perfect for a champion-class ribbon for equestrian shows, dog shows, and fairs; its scale and bordered construction make it appropriate for Grand Champion, Supreme Champion, or any top-tier designation.

What is the minimum to avoid a print set-up charge? Orders of 25 or more rosettes per style, print, and streamer length configuration avoid the print set-up charge; smaller quantities incur that fee.
