After a 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl. That’s nothing new — this will be their fifth Super Bowl appearance since 2020 — but history is on the line this time. If Patrick Mahomes and Co. can take down the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs will be the first team in NFL history to hit a three-peat.
If you’re looking to rep Kansas City (or Taylor Swift) during this year’s Super Bowl LIX, read on. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best Chiefs merch to buy online — whether you’re supporting from the stands, a Super Bowl party, or a sports bar.
Best Kansas City Chiefs Merch to Buy Online
Some of our favorite places to buy Chiefs merch are Nike, Fanatics, and ‘47. We also love Amazon for Chiefs merch and memorabilia, although be aware that not everything on the Everything Store is officially licensed. Another place we check for any merch is Etsy, which is all fan-made, but you can score fun pieces like this Go Taylor’s Boyfriend sweatshirt that you won’t find through official vendors.
Here are some of our favorite pieces of Chiefs merch to buy right now:
Off Season x NFL Travis Kelce Puffer
Can you guess who made this Off Season Kelce puffer jacket go viral? Correct, it was Taylor. Prior to the jacket’s release this January, the superstar wore it to one of the Chiefs games and everyone noticed. We think it’s one of the best pieces of Chiefs merch because it’s more unique than a jersey and well-suited to the frigid winter we’ve been having.
Chiefs New Era 2024 AFC Champions Hat
With their win over the Bills, the Chiefs picked up their fifth AFC Championship. If you’re looking to celebrate that milestone, check out this official 2024 AFC Champions locker hat, complete with commemorative graphics.
Nike Patrick Mahomes Chiefs Super Bowl LIX Jersey
You can’t go wrong with an official jersey, and you definitely can’t go wrong with a jersey for one of the best quarterbacks of all time. This special edition Super Bowl LIX Mahomes jersey is already selling out on Nike, so grab one fast if you want it for the big game.
Nike Travis Kelce Chiefs Super Bowl LIX Jersey
Another one of the best jerseys to pick up right now is this Super Bowl LIX Travis Kelce kit. Fanatics has both white and red variants in stock.
Go Taylor’s Boyfriend Sweatshirt
Taylor Swift might not be an official member of the Chiefs, but she’s certainly one of the team’s biggest stars. If you’re watching the game to join her in cheering on boyfriend Kelce, pick up this “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend” sweatshirt on Etsy.
‘47 Chiefs Snapback
We’re big fans of ‘47, a brand that specializes in throwback-inspired merch like this fresh Chiefs snapback. The Chiefs logo is embroidered on the front, and the whole thing looks (and feels) more high-quality than your typical sports gear.
‘47 Chiefs Beanie
Another great pick from ‘47 is this Chiefs beanie. It features a low-key style, a cozy microfleece build with raised front embroidery, and a pom up top.
Junk Food Clothing x NFL Chiefs Tee
If you just want a straightforward, affordable piece of Chiefs merch, check out this officially licensed T-shirt from Junk Food. It’s currently on sale at Amazon for 20% off, bringing the price to just $24.
YouTheFan Chiefs Party Bowl
Throwing a Chiefs Super Bowl watch party? Pick up this Kansas City snacks bowl. The large vessel is dishwasher and microwave-safe, and it features Chiefs branding on the inside and out.
Simple Modern Chiefs Tumbler Cup
This large 30-ounce tumbler is a great Stanley Cup replacement if you want a more celebratory cup. It’s insulated to keep drinks hot or cold for hours and works well for Super Bowl party beverages as well as daily drinks.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak becomes largest ever in US
An unprecedented tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas has reached historic levels, becoming the largest recorded in U.S. history.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has reported 67 active cases since 2024, with 60 in Wyandotte County and 7 in Johnson County.
Additionally, 79 latent infections—77 in Wyandotte County and 2 in Johnson County—have been identified.
“Currently, Kansas has the largest outbreak that they’ve ever had in history,” Ashley Goss, a deputy secretary at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), told the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee on January 21, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
A KDHE spokesperson later clarified the statement, explaining that the current outbreak “is the largest documented outbreak in U.S. history.” Newsweek contacted the KDHE via email for further comment.
Why This Matters
TB, though treatable, remains a serious infectious disease that can lead to complications and fatalities if untreated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate 13 million Americans live with inactive TB and about 10 percent of these individuals could develop active TB without treatment.
The sharp rise in TB cases—from 51 statewide in 2023 to 109 in 2024—has placed a spotlight on public health measures. Kansas health officials are actively working to contain the outbreak, partnering with the CDC to prevent further transmission.
What to Know
TB is caused by bacteria that primarily attack the lungs but can affect other parts of the body. The infection spreads through the air via coughs or speech but requires prolonged contact for transmission.
Active TB disease makes individuals sick and is infectious, while latent TB infections are dormant, non-contagious and symptom-free but can become active.
Treatment is available for both active and latent TB infections and involves a several-month regimen of antibiotics. Active TB patients are typically non-contagious after 10 days of treatment.
Wyandotte County has been the hardest hit, but health officials maintain that the general public remains at “very low risk.”
What People Are Saying
Goss told the Senate Committee: “Some of you are aware, we have and still have mobilized staff and resources addressing an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak in one of our counties. We are working collaboratively with CDC on that. CDC remains on the ground with us to support. That’s not a negative.
“This is normal when there’s something unprecedented or a large outbreak of any kind, they will come and lend resources to us to help get a stop to that.”
What Happens Next
Kansas health officials and the CDC are continuing their collaborative response to the outbreak.
Their efforts include identifying and testing individuals who have been in close contact with TB patients and ensuring that both active and latent cases receive proper treatment.
Vaccinations for TB are available in the U.S., though they are seldom used, according to the CDC.
For now, Goss said that infections are “trending in the right direction.”
