The Kansas City Chiefs have teased the arrival of their Super Bowl rings for the past two days.
During Andy Reid’s media availability this afternoon, Arrowhead Pride’s Pete Sweeney asked Reid about what he plans to do with his ring once he gets it. His response was about the most on-brand thing you’ll ever hear from Coach Reid.
“You wear it for special occasions or if you want a free cheeseburger, you just point right there,” Reid said. “Show them that ring and you might get one.”
This is your warning to be on the lookout if you’re a Kansas City restaurant owner. Reid is coming with his Super Bowl ring and he’s on a mission to secure some free cheeseburgers. He just might get a few too, given how beloved he is for the success he’s helped bring to the team.
The Chiefs are expected to hand out and reveal the rings during an event at some point today, presumably following today’s practice. The team recently teased the design of the individually-packaged ring boxes for each player on Twitter.

Reid is one of the few people who has already got a glimpse at the design and he’s really excited to get a chance to see it in person.
“I’ve had a little bit of a sneak peek at a picture of one,” Reid said. “So I kind of know what it looks like on a piece of paper. But I look forward to seeing it, just like we’re all looking forward to seeing it. There’s been such hard work that has gone into it. Clark Hunt, Tavia Hunt — the Hunt family has gone above and beyond with this. Mark Donovan, organizing this whole thing for the players in a crazy situation, has done phenomenal. And his crew, they’ve all done a great job. We’re all looking forward to this event, yeah.”
The arrival of the Super Bowl rings will be an unforgettable moment for everyone involved in the organization. That piece of bling is part of what so many people worked tirelessly to achieve last year. It’s a reminder of all the hard work put in to achieve the franchises first Super Bowl win in 50 years. It’ll also provide a great way to motivate the team ahead of a brand new season as they hope to repeat as champions.
