Patrick Mahomes Pregame Outfit Ahead of 'Monday Night Football' Turns Heads

The 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the 2-2 New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night, marking the sole " Monday Night Football " matchup after two weeks of staggered games.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes arrived in style for the highly anticipated showdown, donning a Kansas City Monarchs sweatshirt. The Monarchs were the longest-running franchise in the history of baseball's Negro Leagues and were charter members of the Negro National League from 1920 to 1930, based in Kansas City, Missouri.

His pregame outfit quickly garnered attention, with many expressing admiration for his intention to pay tribute to the Monarchs, a staple of American baseball history. This gesture was particularly poignant given that the Kansas City Royals were also playing in a playoff game that day.

Mahomes is a strong representative of local sports and has shown his support for the Royals as they prepare for the postseason. However, on Monday night, he decided to turn back the clock.

Unfortunately, he will be without key offensive players, as both Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice are sidelined for the foreseeable future. This could create an opportunity for Travis Kelce, who has yet to score a touchdown this season, to finally make an impact in the game.
