Travis Kelce says he 'doesn't give a s**t' about $40K Super Bowl LVIII championship ring typo
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Travis Kelce has addressed the Super Bowl LVIII championship ring typo on his podcast ‘New Heights.’
On Thursday, June 13, the Kansas City Chiefs were awarded with diamond and ruby-encrusted $40,000 rings to mark their 2024 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year.
Travis Kelce opens up on the typo error on his latest Super Bowl ring
Interestingly, several fans pointed out that there was a small typo on the interior of the rings which featured the seeding for Chiefs’ four postseason opponents, the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, and Miami Dolphins.
Travis, along with his elder brother Jason Kelce on Wednesday, June 19, episode of the ‘New Heights,’ spoke up about Dolphins being listed as the seventh seed instead of the sixth.
"One major little goof on the ring, Miami is listed as the seventh seed because it has all of the games you guys had to win to get there. Miami was actually the sixth seed. I guess that's just the way the ring is. Like, nobody's gonna... are you gonna get it fixed?" Jason enquired.
To which Travis responded, "I don't give a s**t.”
"I like it that we didn't give a f**k about what seed Miami is. They were the seventh. Who cares? They could've done no seeds on the side of them. I would've been fine."
"I think it makes it more unique. Like, 'Oh, yeah, we made it really detailed, and, oops, we screwed up,'" Travis continued, adding "It makes it more exclusive. We screwed up about something that means nothing.”

Which one is Travis Kelce's favorite Super Bowl ring?
Jason also asked which one is the favorite ring for Travis since he has three championships to his name.
"I mean, this one's pretty damn cool. This one has... it's massive. It has, like, the shape of the oval of the football with just diamonds going around it. It feels like a championship ring when you look at it. It's like, 'Damn, that thing feels and looks like a championship ring,'" Travis answered.
"But I would probably say the one last year was my favorite one," the NFL star referred to the ring he got after the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at the 2023 Super Bowl.
“The top of the ring comes off and it has a clasp so that you can wear it in different ways," he said, reports People.
The Kansas City Chiefs shared the present ring on X, captioning it, "529 diamonds. 38 rubies. One back-to-back champion."
