Has Chiefs mania bitten your town?
 
For you out of area members have you seen an uptick in Chiefs fans.

I wear a Chief cap and have a magnetic Chiefs emblem on my RAM , so just today I go into Sherwin Williams to pick up paint and the young lad starts talking Chiefs immediately . he went to school at Texas Tech and said his best friend was Mahomes room mate.

I then go to the hardware store and the cashier says ,are the Chiefs going to the SB . I replied , without a doubt.

I then pulled around back to pick up lumber and the loading guy starts asking me how i felt about the 1st qtr. last week. I tell him I killed all my pets and then felt bad after the 2nd qtr about what I'd done.


I'm seeing Chiefs flags popping up over the last year around my neighborhood.

On the Amarillo news tonight they had a segment about the number of tattoos with Chiefs and /or Mahomes going crazy at the tattoo parlors.


Are we the new America's team????

My town is Honolulu, so no. But when I wear Chiefs gear (like my polo shirt today at work) many people comment, and always positive. The Chiefs are a likable team to anyone not in the AFC West it seems.

Or maybe they are just glad that the Pats aren't in it this year. :)

The Mahomes Effect. Even people here want them to win.

I have run into a slough of Ravens fans this week who're rooting for the Chiefs this Sunday.

The enemy of my enemy and all that . . .

Here in upstate NY I will say 9 out of 10 people are on the Chiefs wagon..for the Superbowl run.
After that they'll scatter back to JETs,Bills,Giants.

I'm now 54 and I gotta say these past two years have been odd for me.

After all these years people will throw positive comments my way when I'm wearing my Chiefs gear etc..Usually I love watching Mahomes!!

This same thing happened last year as we entered the playoff push.
I'll hear a Go Chiefs!!!.. maybe a Mahomes rocks!!!...and last year I heard a shit ton of Beat BRADY PLEASE!!!

Maybe once a week in a mall or store I'll spot someone else with Chief gear on and we will stop and chat.


So Chiefs mania for the Superbowl push.. for sure!
Everyone loves watching our team play..its truth.
But their not changing teams.

In Boise I saw 3 people with gear on and truck in an hour span. Unprecedented around here in the past

Golden CO
Nothing crazy (other than me)
We have a couple dozen real fans here
My Colorado plates say MAHOMES so most of the time I get donko fans flipping me off as I speed by them.
Don't really know if it's mahomes or the rate of speed which I travel.....

That's pretty surprising. Chiefs are a much bigger threat to Baltimore over the next decade. If I was a Ravens fan, I would not want to see the Chiefs' young QB piling up a bunch of positive playoff experiences while the Ravens' young QB has had nothing but poor experiences in the playoffs so far.

I get routinely stopped while wearing a hat, beanie, hoodie, etc. Praise for Mahomes and the "You guys look good" talk. I did catch light hearted heat at the dispensary the other day. Last weekend they gave a 10% discount to anyone wearing Ravens gear. I wore Chiefs attire. I've only seen a couple of cars with stickers/magnets.

Yup. I was also told that, if Baltimore were to lose, they'd root for us

Not really. Been working in Cleveland for a while and haven’t seen another Chiefs fan up here. A kid working at the gym called me a “frontrunner” the other day when I was wearing my Chiefs workout shirt. I guess compared to the Browns, everyone’s a frontrunner.

Well, seeing how the Titans beat the Ravens .....Revenge!

A lot of people here in South Florida are rooting for a Chiefs-Packers Super Bowl because they think that will be the best from a business standpoint with two fanbases that will travel in large #'s.
