The Kansas City Chiefs recently experienced a minor hiccup with their latest batch of Super Bowl rings, which reportedly cost $40,000 each.
Despite this oversight, star tight end Travis Kelce appears unfazed by the error.
Travis Kelce, a pivotal figure in the Chiefs’ success, helped end a 50-year championship drought by securing his first Super Bowl ring in 2021.
He was part of the core group that clinched the Lombardi Trophy for a third time with the Chiefs in February, following a victory over the 49ers in Las Vegas. To celebrate these monumental achievements, the Chiefs have historically spared no expense in crafting elaborate Super Bowl rings, laden with luxury. The latest ring, unveiled last week, features an impressive 529 diamonds and 38 rubies, totaling 14.8 carats.
However, an error was spotted in the detailing of the ring. The interior of the ring lists the opponents the Chiefs overcame in their Super Bowl LVIII journey, including their playoff seeds. Fans quickly noticed that the Miami Dolphins were mistakenly marked as the “7th seed” instead of their correct sixth seed. Initially, there was speculation that this error might only exist in the digital renderings of the ring, but it turns out the physical rings carry the same mistake.

Travis Kelce commented on this oversight during a conversation with his brother, Jason, on their podcast “New Heights.” Rather than showing concern, Kelce’s response was dismissive of the error’s significance. He expressed a nonchalant attitude, emphasizing the irrelevance of the mistake to the ring’s value.
“I don’t give a s—. I like that we didn’t give a f— about what seed Miami was. F— it. Who cares? They could’ve done no seeds on the side of them and I would’ve been fine. I think it makes it more unique like, ‘Oh, yeah. Hey, we made it really detailed and—oops—we screwed up.’ It just makes it more exclusive. We screwed up about something that means nothing.”
Kelce’s laid-back reaction suggests that the spirit of the victory and the quality of the rings overshadow any minor errors in detailing.
His attitude reflects a focus on the bigger picture—the triumph itself and the celebration of their achievements—rather than the small imperfections that might accompany such celebrations.
This perspective likely resonates with many in the Chiefs organization and their fan base, who are more focused on the team’s continued success on the field than on the specifics of the championship rings.
