Ed Kelce is one proud dad.
The NFL dad, 75, sported a No. 87 Kansas City Chiefs jersey to the team’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers in support of his son, Travis Kelce, who helped quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the team secure another win on Sunday, Oct. 18.
The jersey worn by Ed, meanwhile, wasn’t just any old football memorabilia. Rather, it was sweetly personalized and penned with love, signed by his Travis, 37, along with a sweet note written in the whites of the numbers printed on the front of the red shirt, as seen in an Instagram photo shared by New Heights.

“Love ya pops!” was the note written by the Chiefs tight end in the eight, while the three-time Super Bowl winner’s recognizable signature was written in the seven of Ed’s jersey, which he paired with a classic black Kansas City Chiefs hat on game day.
Ed and his ex-wife, Donna Kelce, were spotted with their eldest son, Jason Kelce, in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium ahead of the game for a special tailgate. The retired Philadelphia Eagles star, 38, was seen rallying the crowd in videos shared to the New Heights X account.
In another photo shared by a fan, Ed layered a reflective silver letterman jacket over his signed Chiefs jersey. Donna, meanwhile, paired her red jersey with a sequined black jacket with the Kansas City logo emblazoned on the back.
Jason announced the New Heights tailgate in the Oct. 7 episode of the podcast that he co-hosts with Jason.

The event began at 11 a.m. local time at Lot M inside the Truman Sports Complex.
“I will be there. Travis will be playing football, so he will also be there, but you will not meet him,” he teased.
Per the tailgate’s website, the event featured limited-edition exclusive merch, a “meat and greet” with Jason, Nike giveaways and chicken nuggets from Tyson.

As the game kicked off, Donna was later spotted in the suite with her daughter-in-law, Taylor Swift, who was all smiles to support her husband, Travis. They watched the game alongside WNBA star Caitlin Clark and singer Este Haim in the suite.
As seen in photos snapped from the star-studded box, the 14-time Grammy winner — who wed Travis on July 3 in New York City — was all smiles as she spotted Donna, whom she greeted with open arms and a warm embrace.
Like the NFL mom, Swift sported an outfit that screamed Chiefs pride. The “Fate of Ophelia” singer, 36, rocked a long-sleeve, red turtleneck bodysuit, gold nail polish and her signature red lipstick, while Travis’ mom wore a studded, black denim jacket emblazoned with a large “KC” logo on the back.
Swift returned to her signature box to support Travis at the Chiefs-Chargers game fresh off her appearance at the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in L.A. on Saturday, Oct. 17. There, she turned heads in a custom Dior gown by Jonathan Anderson on the red carpet.
