During the 2024 Super Bowl, Jason Kelce, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, made waves with his eye-catching Kansas City Chiefs overalls. While many assumed it was just a flashy fashion choice, in a recent episode of his podcast 'New Heights,' Kelce revealed that there was actually a practical reason behind his bold attire.
Kelce explained to his brother, Travis Kelce, that wearing the overalls helped him stay composed during the intense game. He shared, 'I figured if I went with the overalls, and I had straps, they could hold my shirt down. The straps would hold my shirt on so I wouldn't take my shirt off when I felt the desire to.'
It's worth noting that Jason Kelce famously ripped his shirt off during a previous Chiefs vs. Bills game, so the overalls acted as a preventative measure to ensure he kept his shirt on this time around. Despite his brother's shirtless antics, Travis Kelce laughed it off and even jokingly said, 'Nothing would have been better than seeing your nipples on the field, man.'
Social media users had already caught on to the plan, with one fan tweeting, 'Are the overalls so Jason can't take Jason's shirt off again?' Speculation also arose that the outfit choice was influenced by Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce. One fan tweet read, 'You know Kylie made @JasonKelce wear those overalls so he keeps his shirt on.' Comparisons were even made to a parent outfitting their toddler in a onesie to prevent them from removing their diaper.
In the episode, the focus also shifted to Kylie Kelce's fashion choices. Despite being the sister-in-law of a famous Chiefs player, Kylie prefers not to wear Chiefs gear. According to Jason, she wears apparel from other universities but draws the line at supporting NFL teams other than the Philadelphia Eagles, her hometown team. Jason shared his attempts to convince her to wear Chiefs gear, but Kylie firmly stands by her allegiance to the Eagles.
The podcast episode provided fans with some interesting insights into Jason and Kylie Kelce's fashion choices and the reasoning behind them. It's clear that Jason's overalls served not only as a fashion statement but also as a practical solution to keep his shirt intact during the high-stakes Super Bowl. As for Kylie, her unwavering support for the Eagles adds another layer of team loyalty to the Kelce family dynamic.
