Mahomes approved of ‘broken helmet’ shirt design
In the world of Chiefs fandom, Ultimate Athletic Sportswear, owned by John Doole, is no stranger to capturing memorable moments.
Fresh off the success of their shirt featuring Andy Reid’s frozen mustache, the team at Ultimate Athletic Sportswear has turned their attention to Mahomes’ helmet break.
Doole, expressing his enthusiasm, stated, “We have a relationship with Patrick Mahomes and his agency, and so we’ve done it before but for some reason this year it is hotter than ever.”
As Chiefs fever continues to grip fans, the limited-edition Mahomes helmet break shirts have become a symbol of the team’s resilience.
Reflecting on the Chiefs’ up-and-down season, Doole remarked, “People want to celebrate they were at that cold game, I’ve never seen anything like that ever.”
The initial batch of shirts sold out swiftly, prompting the print shop to rush an order of 15,000 units.
Doole proudly declared, “We do feel like we are a part of the energy for the kingdom.”

Mahomes reflects on a challenging season
Patrick Mahomes recently reflected on the demands of the current season, acknowledging that it has been one of the most challenging in his career.
Despite statistics being down and visible sideline frustrations, Mahomes emphasized his ability to navigate adversity.
“I would say it’s just challenging in the fact that I had to deal with a lot of adversity, not having the success that I’ve had in the past,” Mahomes explained.
“Being able to not win all the games and go out there and have big stats has been different.”
