The Kansas City Chiefs added numerous important details to their Super Bowl ring, including all the opponents they managed to beat on their successful quest to become champions.
In the first round, Kansas City defeated the Dolphins, who sat in the sixth seed. However, on the inside of the ring, it has them listed as a seventh seed.
It was actually the Pittsburgh Steelers who were the seventh seed in the AFC, and they lost to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card playoffs.
Everyone was quick to notice the mistake, but Travis Kelce aimed to silence everyone with his take on the situation.
"I don't give a sh**," Kelce said on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast
'No, I like it that we didn't give a f--- about what seed Miami is. They were the seventh. Who cares? They could've done no seeds on the side of them. I would've been fine," he said.
And according to him, this error adds something special to the ring.
"Yeah, I think it makes it more unique," Kelce added. "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 held a private ceremony last week, gifting the players a ring that contains 529 diamonds and 38 rubies to celebrate the Super Bowl LVIII win.
This was the third ring for Kansas City since 2019, with head coach Andy Reid, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and of course, Kelce helping power the team to victory.
