As millions of Americans get ready to watch Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday, we reflect on the connection between the game of football and one of golf’s greatest legends, Payne Stewart.
In 1989, NFL Properties signed Stewart to wear league apparel on the golf course – asponsorship that lasted through much of his career. During football season, his outfits would often be in the team colors of the NFL franchise nearest the PGA Tour stop that week. If the tour event was near Chicago, he’d wear orange and blue in honor of the Bears; if it was near Atlanta, he would wear red and black for the Falcons. And, of course, if he was in his home state of Missouri, he would wear the red, gold and white colors of the Kansas City Chiefs, winners of three of the last four Super Bowls and four title games in their history. Stewart’s incomparable style on the course has been brought to life once again through the
Payne Stewart Collection, which launched at the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst, a quarter of a century after Stewart’s dramatic victory there and just months before his untimely death at age 42. This line of polos, layering items, outerwear, bottoms and accessories represents his singular flair for fashion with beautiful colorations and elevated styles that work on or off thegolf course.
Some of the new designs through www.paynestewartcollection.com include the Diagonal Dot Plaid Polo, a bold, yet sophisticated diagonal dot plaid design sure to make a statement on the course; Mini Fist Pump Polo with a smart repeating icon sure to please the most discerning of tastes; Victory Full-Zip Jacket, whose well-placed stitching accents add to a streamlined look; and Stewart Vest, a water-resistant piece that evokes thoughts of outdoor sports on a British estate mixed with a hint of modern athletic wear.
So whether you want to show your loyalty to the Chiefs by wearing the Fist Pump Polo in Tartan Red, or to the Eagles with the Mini Feeder Stripe Polo in Putting Green, the Payne Stewart Collection has you covered for the NFL’s biggest event of the year!
