Sibling rivalry is alive and well between NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, as the brothers took to their “New Heights” podcast to share a funny, yet cringe-worthy story. Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs‘ tight end, playfully mocked his older brother Jason for a memorable duct tape mishap, which came up during a discussion about Chiefs center Creed Humphrey’s inventive pregame outfits.
It all started with a lighthearted remark from Jason, who admired Humphrey’s quirky use of duct tape to modify his t-shirt before games. However, Travis wasn’t about to let his brother off the hook, recalling Jason’s infamous attempt to use duct tape as a makeshift bandage. “I still remember you putting duct tape on your cut. What an idiot, man,” Travis teased, prompting laughter from listeners.

From fashion to fails: Creed Humphrey’s pregame ritual
Humphrey’s creative use of duct tape has become a talking point in the Chiefs‘ locker room. In Week 1 of the NFL season, he wore a shirt that said, “This is my shirt for the Ravens game.” By Week 2, he’d covered “Ravens” with duct tape and scribbled “Bengals” on top, keeping the bit alive. As Travis noted on the podcast, “We keep winning. He has to keep doing it.”
Jason, impressed by Humphrey’s ingenuity, praised his pregame style, but his own experience with duct tape was far less glamorous. Unlike Humphrey’s clever t-shirt trick, Jason once used the tape as a bandage, a decision that Travis couldn’t resist mocking. “I know that hurt like a mother when you ripped it off,” Travis joked, taking the sibling banter up a notch.
While the Kelce brothers’ duct tape story brought laughs, Humphrey’s ritual has had a different impact. His creative pregame attire has become a lighthearted symbol of team chemistry for the Chiefs. The camaraderie it fosters in the locker room has not gone unnoticed by teammates.
For Travis, Humphrey’s duct-taped shirt has become a good luck charm as the Chiefs have started their season strong. “The three-and-0 start is getting a lot of good juju from Creed,” Travis said. It’s clear that the fun, superstitious nature of Humphrey’s pregame ritual is bringing positive energy to the team.
As the Chiefs continue their hot streak, players and fans alike are keeping an eye on Creed Humphrey’s next move – and hoping his duct tape magic keeps working.
