The Kansas City Chiefs have enjoyed unprecedented success since Patrick Mahomes entered the NFL, securing three Super Bowl appearances and winning two of them in the last two seasons. A major factor behind this success is the strong team culture established by head coach Andy Reid.
Reid’s leadership has fostered an environment where players hold each other accountable while genuinely enjoying playing together, creating a tight-knit team that excels on and off the field.
This camaraderie is especially evident in the relationship between Mahomes and star tight end Travis Kelce. Having played together since Mahomes’ rookie year, the duo has developed an incredible chemistry, both as friends and teammates.
Their connection has helped them become one of the most dynamic quarterback-pass catcher tandems in NFL history, a bond that extends beyond the field.
Recently, Mahomes gave fans a playful glimpse into their friendship when he posted a challenge to Kelce, daring him to resurrect one of his old, less flattering hairstyles. Kelce, known for his sense of humor, had the perfect response, humorously shutting down the idea by saying he left that look in the past for a good reason. And it’s understandable—Kelce’s appearance has evolved over the years, with his early-career long hair being a distant memory.
His current look is far more polished, and fans agree he’s better off without the throwback style.

Kelce’s hairstyle has even stirred conversation this season, with some pointing fingers at Taylor Swift for influencing his recent style choices. When Kelce debuted a new haircut at the start of the season, it was met with mixed reviews, with some jokingly blaming Swift’s supposed impact on his style.
However, in recent weeks, Kelce seems to have returned to a more familiar look, though he’s kept his signature mustache that has become a staple for him.
Mahomes, on the other hand, has kept his hairstyle relatively consistent over the years. While his hair has grown a bit longer, he keeps it in check with regular trims. It would certainly be surprising to see him go back to a shorter cut, considering how his current look has become part of his recognizable persona.
Their lighthearted exchange over hairstyles is just another reminder of the fun and friendship that Mahomes and Kelce share, further solidifying the bond that has helped make the Chiefs one of the most successful teams in recent NFL history.
