When asked about the condition of the underwear, Mahomes explained, “I only wear them on game day, so they’re not too worn down. I do clean and wash them regularly, but if we’re on a hot streak, I can’t wash them, you know? As long as I’m winning football games, I’ll keep the superstition going.”
The rumor about Mahomes’ lucky underwear first surfaced when former Chiefs backup QB, Henne, mentioned it in an interview. He believed it to be a superstition and good luck charm.
Since starting this tradition in 2018, Mahomes has played over 100 NFL games with the Chiefs. In his first season, the team had an impressive 12-4 record, and Mahomes was awarded the MVP title at just 23 years old, as reported by TMZ.
Since then, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowls, winning two out of the three. Currently, the Chiefs are dominating not only the AFC West division with a 7-2 record but the entire AFC.
Although the team suffered a loss in the first week of the 2023 season, they have been victorious in all their other games, except for a defeat against the Denver Broncos. The status of Mahomes’ lucky red undies remains uncertain.
