Fit for a champion: 20+ Super Bowl-inspired Chiefs shirts that won’t run out the clock

Repeat play: How hometown merch makers are running it back after another Super Bowl win for Kansas City
Taking a cue from Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, Kansas City makers pounced on a proven, championship play Sunday night — quickly launching a range of new Kingdom-inspired celebration apparel to capitalize on their hometown team’s latest Super Bowl win.
Kansas City’s come-from-behind overtime victory in Las Vegas exploded after Reid called the Chiefs’ “corndog” play — the same tactic the team used to clinch the Super Bowl in 2023, earning KC back-to-back championships, Reid told ESPN after the game.
“This was ‘corndog’ with a little mustard and ketchup.”
Local entrepreneurs are looking for a little bit of that same repeat success this week — adding their own mustard and ketchup twists to a maker maneuver that’s brought post-victory revenue fresh off the T-shirt printing presses.
Like the Chiefs’ offense, it paid off in 2020, 2023 and in this season’s playoffs.
Here are 20+ fast-selling, just-launched Kansas City shirts celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win — and hometown entrepreneurial spirit. (A selection from tight end and serial entrepreneur Travis Kelce’s own brand — Tru Kolors — even makes the list.)
