Travis Kelce isn’t just catching passes at Chiefs training camp—he’s making a bold statement with his ‘Killa Stache’. The return of his daring mustache has Chiefs fans buzzing as Kelce adds swagger to his game, proving once again that he’s not afraid to stand out both on and off the field.
Travis Kelce is bringing back a fan-favorite look as he preps for another NFL season
On Sunday, July 21, the 34-year-old football star appeared at training camp with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates — and a freshly shaved mustache look — to gear up for the 2024-2025 season.
He stepped onto the field at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph for the open practices, which are slated to go through Aug. 15, per the Chiefs’ website. The team will also play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in its preseason kickoff game on Aug. 10. The regular season begins on Sept. 5, when the Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens.
In photos and video shared by the Chiefs organization, the star tight end could be seen walking down a path and greeting onlookers. “Thanks for coming out today, guys,” Kelce announced to fans.
The post itself shared by the team came complete with the caption honoring the tight end’s look: “KILLA STACHE IS BACK .”
Plenty of Kelce’s teammates were filmed saying hi to fans at the training camp too, as shared to the Chiefs’ Instagram Stories.
Among them, Mecole Hardman, Jr., Patrick Mahomes and his fellow quarterbacks, Justyn Ross and others walked down to the field to get back into the swing of things. During the camp itself, the Chiefs got rolling with some drills, as one video shared by the team showed Mahomes tossing a football to his friend Kelce.
Mahomes, 28, also poked some fun at fellow QB Carson Wentz, who almost tripped on a turf path on Sunday. “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me,” Mahomes said in one video, before encouraging the person behind the camera to “post that.”
Kelce’s return to the field comes after the Chiefs won their second-consecutive Super Bowl in February, and the team’s third in five years.
As for his mustache, Kelce has rocked a variety of facial hair looks during his career. As he previously joked on an episode of his New Heights podcast, the mustache is specifically for when he doesn’t “have any paid appearances, or I’m not subject to doing anything where I have to team up with a company and look presentable.”
