Expressing his thoughts to his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star openly pondered his intentions for his facial hair. Uncertain, he admitted not knowing what to do with the normally discarded facial hair trimmings – after all it’s not something one often thinks about..
When the older Kelce proposed the idea of his younger brother shaving and collecting his beard trimmings for a charity auction, Travis Kelce appeared enthusiastic, responding, “That like fun.” However, it seems Travis Kelce might be attached to his Super Bowl beard. “I might wanna keep this thing myself,” he thought aloud. If he decides to move forward with donating them to charity he will undoubtedly raise a nice figure for the Superbowl Beard trimmings.
Travis Kelce Admits He Might Just Keep the Super Bowl Beard Trimmings For Himself
However, Kelce, feeling a touch of sentimentality, confessed that he would genuinely miss his post-season face mane. He had shared with his podcast audience that he had started growing it out before Christmas 2023, for your usual sports superstition reasons.
“I told SVP [ESPN broadcaster Scott Van Pelt] I don’t know what I’m gonna do with this thing. I might just shave it off and put it in a Ziploc bag and keep it with all my other Super Bowl memorabilia,” Travis Kelce explained. He added, “Sometimes you just gotta work for things. You gotta enjoy the ride. Not care about what you look like, not care about how you present yourself, you just show up and you grind.”
Jason Kelce, known for his occasional public revelry leading up to (and after) the Super Bowl, playfully inquired if Travis was referring to him.“No, don’t you try and take my f—g beard shine right now,” Travis jokefully quipped.
In an exhilarating matchup on Sunday, the Chiefs emerged victorious with a thrilling 25-22 comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers. Perhaps Travis feels he owes the close Super Bowl win to his beard, an interesting thing to give credit to considering his dozens of teammates.
During the football season, Travis has sported various facial hair styles, ranging from a clean-shaven look to a dashing mustache and even a stylish goatee. However, it was his glorious beard that adorned Travis Kelce’s face for his Super Bowl win and one worthy of commemoration.
