As the NFL kicks off a brand-new season, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce isn’t just turning heads on the field—he’s doing it with a fresh new look. Kelce, known for his bold style both in fashion and on the football field, debuted a striking new haircut that has fans talking.
In a video shared by NBC Sports on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday, Kelce’s updated hairstyle was on full display, and it quickly drew comparisons to none other than Uncle Rico, the iconic character from Napoleon Dynamite. With a mix of retro vibes and a modified bowl cut, Kelce’s haircut had social media buzzing, blending humor with admiration for his fearless approach to style.
While some fans couldn’t help but notice the unmistakable Uncle Rico resemblance, others joked that this new ‘do might have helped him land pop superstar Taylor Swift (if the swirling breakup rumors don’t turn out to be true).
