Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a disappointing end to the 2024 season. Sure, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six years, but they came up short of their chance at making history and got blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was over by halftime.
Mahomes is seemingly putting the 2024 season and the rest of his early Chiefs career behind him and moving on to a new chapter with his new haircut. Gone is the classic Mahomes look that everyone came to know and love, and now he's sporting a new look as he enters his ninth NFL season (and eighth as a starter).

Mahomes has had the same haircut since he entered the league in 2017. The 10th overall pick by the Chiefs, who traded up to get him in that year's draft, became a household name by his second year in the league when he threw for over 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns.
It might have been his second season in the NFL, but it was his first as the Chiefs' starting quarterback, and he proved right away that he was going to be a mainstay in Kansas City.
One year later, Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl victory in five decades, and soon, the haircut he sported was everywhere. Now, after eight years with the style so many people came to know and associate with Mahomes, he's rocking a new hairdo.
Mahomes had previously said that he would be getting rid of the iconic mohawk after the 2024 season because "I can’t have two kids and a Mohawk.”
Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, welcomed their third child earlier this year, and the quarterback is also turning 30 years old in September. It's entirely fair that a new haircut was in order for the three-time Super Bowl champ.
Chiefs fans just hope that this new hairdo doesn't change anything for Mahomes on the field and that he can still go out there and lead their team to Super Bowl victories.
