Jason Kelce, retired Philadelphia Eagles center, recently reacted to his alma mater’s new football jersey. Kelce played for the Cincinnati Bearcats during his NCAA days and clearly has not forgotten his roots there. The former NFL talent and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, both shared their reactions to the new looks for the Bearcats in the latest episode of their ‘New Heights’ podcast.
The Cincinnati Bearcats unveiled a new home as well as away look for their upcoming season. The home jersey is all black, while the away look is all white. The numbers on the jerseys are in white and outlined in red, giving it a more vintage feel.
“I dig the outline. I’m a fan. Sometimes the colleges go with a little bit too much.” Jason Kelce spoke about the new Cincinnati Bearcats jerseys in the ‘New Heights’ podcast with Travis Kelce.
The change for the Cincinnati Bearcats uniforms came as a result of the team switching their brands from Adidas to Nike. According to the agreement with Nike, the change will take effect from next month until 2029.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce both played for the Cincinnati Bearcats, and have been proud alumni of the institution. The Kelce brothers have managed to give back plenty to their alma mater, especially through their own NFL careers. While Jason Kelce finished his 13-season run with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, his younger brother Travis Kelce, is continuing his career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jason Kelce Reveals Reason Why He Wore A Speedo At Fundraiser
A few days back, a video of Jason Kelce climbing up on a ladder and ripping off his shorts to reveal his USA-flag inspired speedo went viral. The incident happened during a fundraiser which was held by Kelce and brought about mixed reactions. In a recent episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast, Jason Kelce revealed that he was forced to wear the speedo because of a bet he had with former Philadelphia Eagles teammate, Beau Allen.
Apparently, Kelce and Allen were engaged in a weight-loss challenge, which the latter won. The loser of the challenge had to wear a speedo and also get bikini-waxed. Kelce remarked that he was happy that he got waxed and that the visuals would have been much worse if he hadn’t done so. For his actions, Kelce was trolled brutally by many social media users calling his actions outlandishly childish.
