Travis Kelce has expanded his off-field profile again, landing a major new role as a global brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger.
The Kansas City Chiefs star continues to grow his influence beyond the NFL, with this latest move placing him firmly at the intersection of sport and fashion.
It comes at a time when his cultural presence is arguably as strong as his on-field impact. Kelce’s new deal reflects that shift. He is no longer just an athlete, but a global figure brands want to build around.
This partnership now sets up a longer-term collaboration that goes beyond a single campaign.

According to The Industry Fashion, the brand confirmed Kelce will take on a key role as both ambassador and creative collaborator.
“Travis Kelce is one of the most magnetic figures in sport and culture today. He is at the forefront of a new generation of athletes expressing themselves through style, with a down-to-earth quality that people immediately connect with,” Hilfiger said.
He added: “I’m excited to see how he brings his fearless, fun-loving and bold take on ‘Prep Made Current’ to fans around the world.”
Kelce is set to feature first in the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2026 campaign before continuing into Spring 2027. The partnership will also include a capsule collection, giving him creative input on reimagining classic Tommy Hilfiger styles.

Kelce also explained why the partnership carries personal meaning beyond the commercial aspect.
“I’ve long admired Tommy Hilfiger as an iconic American brand. Ever since high school, when I used to ask my mom to buy sailing gear jackets, I’ve been drawn towards the brand’s confident style and over the years have respected its ability to be classic and consistent while still evolving,” Kelce said.
The Chiefs star added: “Getting to work with Tommy and put my own twist on timeless pieces, in a way that feels original for today, is a dream come true.”
That connection helps explain why the collaboration extends into design. This is not just about representation, but involvement in shaping future collections.
For Kelce, it marks another step in building a brand that stretches well beyond football. His influence now sits across sport, entertainment, and fashion.
