Kansas City Chiefs
There’s a type of Chiefs fan that you don’t have to persuade. They already have the jersey. They’ve watched every playoff game with the same routines, seat, snacks, same certainty that there was just something different about this team. Buying for that person can be really easy or really difficult depending on how well you know them, so we wanted to make it easy regardless.
We don’t care about filling this up with the basics. The team logo mug that every stadium shop has stock of in bulk quantities; the keyring destined to be hung in a drawer and forgotten; the gift that told you they liked the Chiefs but nothing more. We set out to find things that actually hit the mark, gifts that spoke to the fan they are and picked something suitable for their passion.
Some of the Chiefs fans you’ll find here live and die on what happens at Arrowhead. They watch the roster moves all off season. They have hot takes about Patrick Mahomes that reach far past highlight compilations. If that’s the type of fan you’re buying for then we raised the bar and tried to hit it. Some of them fell in because of the dynasty years; some because of the Chiefs’ current cultural footprint and couldn’t help but get caught up. Those fans deserve something that felt like a considered purchase rather than default.
We’ve picked items for a variety of occasions because being a Chiefs fan isn’t something you only do at Christmas. Birthdays come, watch parties come, you get a new job at your place and it just happens that they’re a die hard and you want to celebrate that. Everything we picked works for all those reasons because we stopped to think about what we were buying before tossing another piece of licensed merch onto a shelf and calling it good.
The Chiefs have beenriding highas one of the best teams of the last decade. Their fanbase has expanded with that and consequently there are more fools like us that want to buy that person something meaningful that shows they care about the team too. We think we’ve curated the right products. Not bought all the products. The right ones.
