The year 2023 saw the Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, making waves in the headlines, not just for their Super Bowl showdown but also for their achievements in the music industry.
In a historic moment early in the year, the Kelce siblings faced off in February’s Super Bowl, marking the first instance of brothers competing against each other in the NFL championship game, as noted by SportingNews. However, beyond the gridiron, the brothers share a unique connection to their jersey numbers, each carrying a distinctive meaning.
Travis Kelce’s Tribute:
Travis Kelce, renowned not just for his football prowess but also for his relationship with Taylor Swift, revealed the special significance behind his jersey number, 87, as reported by Menshealth. In an interview, he expressed that the number serves as a tribute to his brother, Jason Kelce. Reflecting on the Kelce legacy, Travis stated, “If there is a Kelce legacy, two brothers making it to the NFL, it all started in 1987 because this big guy was born in 1987.” The brothers, who shared the field during their time at Cleveland Heights and Cincinnati, faced a pivotal moment in 2010 when Travis, dealing with suspension, found unwavering support from Jason. Acknowledging his brother’s pivotal role, Travis said, “I’m forever in debt to this guy for putting his name, our name, putting his honor on the line to get me another chance.”
Jason Kelce’s Identity with No. 62:
On the other side of the Kelce legacy is Jason, who proudly wears jersey number 62. In an interview, he shared the significance of this number, explaining that it was assigned to him when he entered the National Football League (NFL), and he considers it an honor. Despite having a fondness for the number 13 in his earlier sports experiences, Jason adopted a perspective from a middle school football coach who emphasized, “The player makes the number, not the other way around.” Since then, Jason has embraced the identity associated with the number 62, stating, “I have an identity with 62, and I’m going to have that forever.”
As the Kelce brothers continue to make history in the NFL, their jersey numbers carry not just numerical value but profound familial and personal significance. Travis and Jason Kelce’s journeys in the league are not only marked by their athletic achievements but also by the meaningful connections embedded in the fabric of their chosen jersey numbers.
