Gear up while supporting local
If you remember some of last year’s iconic pieces — like Taylor Swift’s EB and Co. 87 jersey ring — you might recall just how fast they sold out. Get ahead of the scramble for gear with a look at these local collections:
- Sandlot Goods has dubbed the moment “The Big Threasy.”
- Preorder Made Mobb’s Kansas City to New Orleans collection or opt in for its giveaway contest featuring unique streetwear designs.
- EB and Co. has dainty Chiefs accessories on lock, like claw clips and huggie hoops that resemble a certain “T-N-T” couple...
Prepare your snack spread
Nearly as horrify a thought as a Chiefs loss, is the possibility of running out of snacks before Kendrick Lamar even takes the stage. Keep your pantry stocked and any hungry fans at bay with a few Super Bowl specials:
- Though it was a familar fave last year, McLain’s Kingdom Cake is even more fitting this time around. Check out its full Chiefs-themed menu.
- Harvey’s at Union Station honors Andy Reid all season long with the “Big Red” burger atop a bright red bun.
- Keep your snack table colorful with Meshuggah Bagels’ limited time red and gold creations.
It’s still early in the party planning process for most Kansas City fans and businesses, so be sure to bookmark this guide and check back often as we add even more exciting promotions ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
