Travis Kelce just used a special piece of jewelry to show his support for his brother Jason Kelce, who announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
The Kansas City Chiefs star joined his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, for an emotional press conference at the Philadelphia Eagles practice facility, where Jason, 36, shared the news of his retirement from the league after 13 seasons.
Photos of Travis, 34, showed him wearing three bracelets, including a friendship bracelet with the name “Kelce” beaded on it.

The accessory is reminiscent of the colorful styles of Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and has become synonymous with her fans since the pop star embarked on her Eras Tour last March.
The tight end — who won his third Super Bowl on Feb. 11 and celebrated in Las Vegas with the Grammy winner by his side — tried to give his DIY design to the singer before the two officially started dating. Travis was last seen decked out in fan-made accessories at Swift’s concert in Sydney on February 23.
At the press conference, Travis wore an earth-tone button-up shirt from Song for the Mute, according to an Instagram fan page dedicated to his outfit. He was also wearing sunglasses, which he took off for a moment while wiping away tears.

Jason also cried as he thanked everyone who supported his football dreams, including Travis, in his speech.
The Philadelphia Eagles center talked about his relationship with his brother, mentioning their years playing sports together as kids and the joy they both felt when the other was drafted into the NFL. “We have a small family. We have no cousins, one aunt, one uncle. It’s really been my brother and I my whole life,” explained Jason. “We did almost everything together – competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.”

He recalled “making up games” with Travis and said they “imagined” themselves being “stars” in the NFL one day. “We’ve won countless Super Bowls in our minds before we ever leave the house,” Jason said.
Of Travis’ support over the years, Jason said, “It’s made me stronger, stronger, smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty, patience and understanding.”
