During ESPN’s ManningCast for Monday night footballKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, candidly admitted to brothers Peyton and Eli Manning a curious aspect of his game-day ritual: wearing the same pair of underwear for every game.
The star quarterback revealed that his wife Brittany initially bought him the lucky pair, which contributed to his long-standing superstitious habit. Mahomes traced the tradition back to 2017, associating his debut with a successful season for the Chiefs.
Clarifying his game day attire, Mahomes assured that the red underwear, tied to his success on the field, is reserved exclusively for game days and is not excessively worn or unhealthy. He humorously mentioned: “I clean them. I wash them. At least once in a while,” as he joked about hesitating to wash them during a winning streak.
Emphasizing his commitment to the ritual, the 2023 Super Bowl champion stated: “As long as I win football games, I will maintain the superstition.”
The revelation of Mahomes’ underwear superstition emerged earlier this year from former Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne during a guest appearance on The Adam Schefter Podcast. Henne revealed Mahomes’ adherence to this particular habit and his connection to the quarterback’s baseball experience.
Mahomes’ tradition of wearing red underwear to games is perceived by his teammates as a good luck charm and a crucial part of his game day routine. Even amid this peculiar game day custom, Mahomes recently ventured into modeling loungewear professionally, launching a holiday campaign with Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS alongside his family.
Expressing his excitement about the collaboration, Mahomes commented, “Comfort is what matters most to me and these sets will be my go-to at home all season long.”
Teammate Travis Kelce recently flew to Argentina to support Taylor Swift.
The quarterback’s peculiar superstition has raised eyebrows, offering a unique glimpse into an NFL star’s routines and his unorthodox but successful pregame ritual.
