The Kansas City Chiefs are not just about football; they also know how to make a fashion statement. As the team arrived at SoFi Stadium for their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, they turned heads with their stylish outfits, showcasing support for teammate Travis Kelce.
Team Unity on Display
In a show of solidarity, Chiefs’ wide receivers Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Mecole Hardman donned custom shirts celebrating Kelce. This gesture came after Kelce received some harsh criticism regarding his performance this season.
According to CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson, Rice was the one who purchased the shirts for the team. He stated, “to honor their leader and a guy who has mentored all of them.” This thoughtful move highlights the tight-knit nature of the team and their commitment to supporting each other.
Eye-Catching Designs
The black T-shirts featured Kelce’s name in vibrant Chiefs colors, along with images of him playing. On the back, the shirt read “Dreamathon,” the name of the brand responsible for the custom design. It included more images of Kelce in action, although his shirts are not available for fans yet. However, fans can find shirts honoring players like Patrick Mahomes at Dreamathon for around $60.

- Custom designs were also worn in support of running back Isiah Pacheco following his injury.
Facing Scrutiny on the Field
Kelce, who is also known for his connections outside of football, has faced criticism about his current form. ESPN’s former analyst Todd McShay questioned whether Kelce was struggling due to his new fame, specifically his relationship with Taylor Swift. McShay remarked, “He’s been partying all offseason… are we not allowed to say that he’s out of shape?”
He backed up his claims by pointing out the differences in Kelce’s appearance over the past couple of years. The discussion surrounding Kelce’s lifestyle has been a hot topic, especially after he was seen partying at the US Open in New York City.
Kelce Takes Accountability
In the light of this scrutiny, Travis Kelce addressed his performance on his podcast, “New Heights,” which he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. He admitted, “We’re finding ways to win games, but we’re not playing our best football.” He specifically mentioned a critical drop he made in the fourth quarter, reflecting on the need to focus during important moment in games.
“I think with how defenses are playing us right now, I’m not really getting a lot of opportunities to make plays down the field, but not using that as an excuse,” he added, showing his determination to improve.
Excitement for the Game Ahead
The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a crucial AFC West game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Though the focus will be on the football field, the fashion display by Mahomes, Kelce, and their teammates added another layer of excitement. Patrick Mahomes arrived in a tailored three-piece suit and stylish sunglasses, proving that the Chiefs know how to arrive in style.
With Kelce rallying his teammates and acknowledging his need for improvement, fans are eager to see how the team performs. They are hoping for better results as the regular season progresses.
