Jason Kelce didn’t hold back in teasing his younger brother, Travis Kelce, for his fashion choices during the US Open men’s singles final, where the Kansas City Chiefs star was spotted with girlfriend Taylor Swift. On the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, Jason had a field day roasting Travis for his preppy “head-to-toe Gucci” ensemble that had the internet buzzing.
The lighthearted banter began when Jason, a former Philadelphia Eagles player, noticed Travis wearing a Los Angeles Lakers shirt on the podcast. Curious about the choice, Jason asked why his brother had opted for the basketball-themed attire.
Travis casually explained that it was “just a hoopers” shirt, but Jason wasn’t ready to let the conversation end there. He quickly shifted gears to mock Travis’ fashion statement from the US Open, where Travis had ditched his usual sporty style in favor of a posh, country-club-inspired look.
“I know what’s going on right now. I know exactly why you’re back into the hoopers fit,” Jason said with a smirk. “Because everybody saw what you were wearing at the US Open, and you went complete opposite—hoopers fit.”

The outfit in question? Travis Kelce turned heads at the tennis tournament in a preppy Gucci ensemble, featuring a cream cardigan layered over a matching $780 polo shirt and shorts. He even accessorized with a coordinating $620 Gucci bucket hat, completing the high-end look.
“You went full country club,” Jason quipped, poking fun at his brother’s transformation from NFL star to tennis spectator fashionista. Travis, unfazed by the ribbing, admitted, “It was tennis. What do you want me to do?”
Jason continued the playful roast, suggesting that Travis had a reputation to uphold and now needed to “recorrect [his] brand image.” Laughing, Jason told Travis to return to his roots, implying that the preppy look wasn’t quite in line with his brother’s usual sporty vibe.
Travis, never one to take himself too seriously, embraced the teasing and called himself a fashion “chameleon.” “I float. I just blend. I blend in the trees, man,” he joked, taking the roasting in stride.
The brothers’ exchange came after Travis and Swift made headlines for their appearance at the US Open, where they were spotted in a VIP box at Arthur Ashe Stadium, watching Jannik Sinner’s victory over Taylor Fritz. The couple turned heads not just for their courtside PDA, but also for their stylish outfits. Swift wore a chic checkered linen dress by Reformation, while Travis stuck with his Gucci-heavy look. The pop star even accessorized her look with a Gucci Jackie Notte Bag, retailing for a cool $3,980, perfectly complementing her boyfriend’s ensemble.
Brittany Mahomes, who also joined the couple in their box with her husband, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, opted for a matching Gucci dress, while Patrick kept things stylish in a Prada outfit.
On the podcast, Travis also touched on his demeanor during the tennis match, sharing that he “dressed the part, acted the part,” and kept things low-key—at least until the intermissions. “I was very quiet except for when they were playing music during the breaks. That was about the only time I was really showing my personality,” Travis said.
The playful back-and-forth between the Kelce brothers is nothing new, but Jason’s roast of Travis’ US Open outfit gave fans another entertaining glimpse into their sibling dynamic.
Whether in Gucci or a Lakers tee, Travis proved he can take a joke, even when it’s about his bold fashion choices.
