Andy Reid has spent years leading the Kansas City Chiefs to victory, becoming one of the most respected figures in the NFL. But among the many things that define him-his play-calling, his leadership, his love for cheeseburgers-one stands out above the rest: that glorious mustache. Thick, powerful, and unwavering, it’s been a signature look for the 66-year-old head coach.

That’s why Chiefs fans might do a double take when they see Reid’s latest Super Bowl commercial for Pringles. In the ad, which also features NBA All-Star James Harden and actors Adam Brody and Nick Offerman, Reid’s mustache is completely gone. Not trimmed. Not thinned out. Gone. And to make sure everyone in Kansas City noticed, Pringles plastered 78 billboards around town featuring a clean-shaven Reid.
Of course, this is just some Hollywood magic. Reid reassured fans that his mustache is still intact in real life. But that doesn’t mean the reaction from his team will be as forgiving. When asked about the ad, Reid joked that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will likely tell him to “stick with the ‘stache.”And honestly? They might have a point.

Kelce, in particular, has been an outspoken supporter of his coach’s legendary facial hair. The 35-year-old tight end even grows his own mustache every training camp as a tribute to Reid, calling it a tradition during their championship runs. Now that Pringles has erased the original, will Kelce be forced to carry the mustache torch alone?
A mustache might be replaceable, a three-peat isn’t
Kansas City fans might not be ready for a world without Andy Reid’s mustache, but they are ready for another Super Bowl win. With Mahomes at the helm and Kelce making plays, the Chiefs are in a position to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive championships. Reid knows this moment is bigger than any commercial, but hey, it doesn’t hurt to have a little fun along the way.
While Reid’s facial hair is getting its share of attention, the real focus remains on Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The stakes are sky-high, and the Chiefs are locked in on making history. Still, if they pull off the three-peat, don’t be surprised if someone sneaks a Pringles can into the victory parade as a tribute to the now-famous ad.
For now, Reid can rest easy knowing his mustache is safe. As for the next time he gets roped into a commercial? Maybe it’s best to leave the ‘stache alone.
