When it comes to the accuracy of one of the inscriptions on Kansas City Chiefs’ $40,000 Super Bowl rings, Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce’s response wasn’t exactly surprising.
“I don’t give a (expletive),” Kelce said when it was discussed on the “New Heights” podcast with his brother, retired NFL center Jason Kelce.
The Chiefs received their Super Bowl rings, complete with the arrowhead logo and four Vince Lombardi Trophies, with 529 total diamonds. The rings also include 19 baguette diamonds to signify Kansas City becoming the first NFL team to repeat as champions in 19 years.
But the rings were engraved with an error. Inside the ring, the Miami Dolphins, who the Chiefs beat 26-7 in the wild-card round, were listed as the AFC’s seventh seed, with the words “MIA [7].” But the Dolphins were the No. 6 seed, and the Chiefs were the third seed.
“Miami was actually the sixth seed. I guess that’s just the way the ring is. … Are you gonna get it fixed?” Jason Kelce said.
“I don’t give a (expletive). No, I like it that we didn’t give a (expletive) about what seed Miami was,” Travis Kelce said. “Who cares? They could have done no seeds on the side of them and I would’ve been fine. Like oh, yeah, we made it really detailed and oops, we screwed up. Just makes it more exclusive. We screwed up about something that means nothing.”
The Chiefs will have a chance to make more errors on future rings when they try to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. They kickoff the 2024 season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5 in a rematch of last year’s AFC championship game.
