Travis Kelce revealed he’s not afraid of a major typo on his $40,000 diamond and ruby-encrusted Super Bowl LVIII ring.
Kansas City Chiefs fans were quick to point out that the team’s flashy new bling, which they were presented at a ceremony last week, contained an error.
On the inside of the rings, the Miami Dolphins were incorrectly listed as the seventh seed instead of sixth.
However, Kelce, who is a back-to-back Super Bowl champion following the Chiefs’ win over the San Francisco 49ers in February, said it doesn’t bother him.
“One big bet in the ring: Miami is the seventh seed because it includes all the games you had to win to get there. Miami was actually the sixth seed. I guess that’s just the way the ring is. No one’s going to… are you going to fix it?’ Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, said on Wednesday’s episode of their New Heights podcast.

“I don’t care,” Travis replied, as Jason asked, “Does anyone care?”
“I like that we didn’t care about Miami. They were the seventh. Who cares? They couldn’t have added seeds to it. I would have been fine,” he continued.
“I think it makes it more unique. Like, “Oh yeah, we made it really detailed, and oops, we screwed it up,” the tight end added, suggesting it “makes it more exclusive.”
“We screwed up over something that means nothing.”
The retired Philadelphia Eagles star then asked his younger brother which of his three championship rings was his “favorite.”
“I mean, this one is damn cool,” he said of the latest ring in his collection.

“This one has… it’s huge. It is shaped like a football oval, with only diamonds surrounding it. When you look at it, it feels like a championship ring. It’s like, “Damn, that thing feels and looks like a championship ring.”
However, he admitted that the ring he received in 2023 after the Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 was his “favorite.”
“The top of the ring comes off and it has a clasp so you can wear it in different ways,” he said.
The Catching Kelce alum also explained that if he ever wore any of the extravagant jewelry outside of his home, he would “probably wear that clasp on a chain.”
This year’s ring, made by Jostens, contains 529 diamonds each – 505 round diamonds, 19 baguette diamonds and five marquise diamonds – along with 38 rubies in the team’s signature color
The team explained that the ring is highly symbolic, starting with the interlocking arrowhead logo made of 16 custom-cut rubies to represent the 16 division titles in franchise history.
The word “world” contains 39 diamonds representing the number of touchdowns the team scored last season, while the corresponding word “champions” contains 70 diamonds representing the points scored in the Chiefs’ three AFC playoff wins.
The bottom of the ring also features a diagram of the game-winning play where the Chiefs defeated the 49ers in overtime earlier this year.
