When it comes to the diamond-studded Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl ring having a typo on it, Travis Kelce, frankly doesn’t give a rat’s behind.
At least that’s what he is saying. Kelce addressed the widely reported ring fiasco on the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast alongside his brother Jason.
“I don’t give a […],” the Chiefs tight end said of the typo. “I like it that we didn’t give a […] about what seed Miami was.”
“Yeah, they were the seventh. Who cares? They could’ve done no seeds on the side of them and I would’ve been fine.”

Somebody Cares About The Seeds On The Chiefs Super Bowl Rings
Well now, see here, Travis. Obviously, somebody cares about the seeds being printed on the Chiefs Super Bowl rings, or they wouldn’t have added that to the design in the first place.
I get that Kelce doesn’t care. And I’m sure the other players don’t care. But whoever designed these exorbitantly priced rings cared enough to make it a feature.
Initial reports suggested that the seeds were added to the design in an attempt to show off how difficult the Chiefs’ postseason run was.
But, unlike Kelce, the manufacturer or the designer dropped the ball.
The rings list the Miami Dolphins as the number 7 seed. They were actually the 6th seed.

Makes It Unique
Kelce suggests that the typo on the Chiefs Super Bowl ring would make it more valuable. Like an old baseball card with an error on it that was only printed three times before they picked up on the problem.
“I think it makes it more unique. Like, ‘Oh, yeah we made it really detailed, and oops we screwed up.’ Just makes it more exclusive. We screwed up about something that means nothing,” he said.
On that, he is correct.
Twenty years from now, nobody is going to remember or care about the seeding of the Chiefs’ opponents on their run to capture Super Bowl LVIII.
But isn’t that kinda the point? Why are we putting the seeds of opponents on the ring anyway? It’s a goofy detail to add.
These rings aren’t cheap. They typically cost somewhere in the $30,000 – $50,000 range. This one in particular measures a total of 14.8 carats, including 529 diamonds and 38 rubies.
Remember folks, measure twice – cut once!
