Maryland native Monica Blakely designed a denim jacket and high-top sneakers for Donna Kelce, whose sons played against each other in the Super Bowl.
To Blakely’s surprise, Kelce responded within minutes. Four days later, Blakely sent a jacket and shoes containing an even mix of Chiefs and Eagles colors to Kelce, who flaunted the outfit all week in Glendale, Ariz., and on State Farm Stadium’s field.
From those early days, then in the basement of her parents’ Olney, Md., home, Blakely designed wreaths featuring NFL teams’ colors and logos. Blakely, a Washington Commanders fan, arranged her schedule around NFL games and its draft. After watching the Chiefs and Eagles qualify for the Super Bowl on Jan. 29, Blakely read about Kelce’s experience raising her NFL-bound sons. Blakely, who said she’d do anything to help Ezra achieve her goal of becoming an actress, related to Kelce’s affection for her children.“She’s the ultimate mom goal,” Blakely said. “She’s doing everything a mom who absolutely loves her kids would do. When I saw that passion behind it and that dedication to her kids, I was like, ‘I got to make this for her.
Blakely didn’t expect a response, but when Kelce agreed minutes later, Blakely went to work. She wanted the jacket to be symmetrical to reflect Kelce’s equal love for her sons. She cut one red and one black denim jacket in half and sewed them together.
