The Kelce family has taken center stage over the last year, and with that comes another budding star in their family: Momma Kelce. Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason, has captured the hearts of fans across the league as she navigates having two superstar sons in the NFL.
While the Kelce brothers have been some of the league’s best at their respective positions over the years, Donna has stayed quiet in the background for most of it. That is until her sons squared off in last year’s Super Bowl, which pitted the two brothers against one another to see who would reign supreme over the NFL.
Throughout it all, Donna has been supporting both of her extremely talented sons equally. So equally, in fact, that instead of wearing a traditional jersey of either Travis or Jason, she decided to have a custom-made Kelce jersey that represented both at the same time.
Donna Kelce’s Custom-Made Jersey Enshrined in HOF
In February of 2023, Donna became the first mom in NFL history to have her two sons play against one another in the Super Bowl, and while there, she was completely decked out in her sons’ gear, showing support equally from head to toe.
When @tkelce & @JasonKelce became the first brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl, their mother, @dkelce1, earned national headlines.
The split @Chiefs/@Eagles jersey & shoes she famously wore are now on display at the Hall of Fame.

The jersey was designed and made by a Maryland-based business, “Passion for Ezra,” which makes custom sports merchandise and other products. In addition to the custom jersey, Donna wore custom shoes that were made by Becky Zielinski.

After wearing the jersey and shoe combination for the big game, the items will now forever sit at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Before the NFL enshrined the memorabilia and put the piece of history on display, both Travis and Jason signed their mother’s jersey for her. Travis signed the front of the jersey with “Love you, Mommy!” while Jason signed the back affectionately with “Love you, Momma!”
Donna was asked about having her two sons play in the Super Bowl, and she expressed how nerve-racking it was.
“It’s your hopes and dreams coming true, but it’s your worst fears,” Donna told PJ Ziegler of FOX 8. “Somebody is going to go home a loser, and neither one of them lose very well.”
But who was she rooting for during the big game? “I think that Jason would say I am going to root for the baby of the family, which is Travis. And I keep trying to tell him, ‘No, you’ve given me grandchildren,’ so we’ll leave it at that.”
Donna and the rest of the Kelce family have been taken to the popularity well, and the family has been well received by fans and the NFL world, as the feat their family accomplished last year was a cool sight to see.
As the 2023 season unfolds and Donna’s star power continues to grow, it’s fair to wonder if she may possibly see both her sons get a chance to do it again and be the first mother to ever have her sons in the Super Bowl twice.
With the Chiefs currently leading the AFC and the Eagles leading the NFC, it would not be completely inconceivable that these two teams once again meet on Super Sunday.
Wonder if Donna will need to ask the Hall of Fame for her jersey back.
