Maryland retailer sells limited edition sweatshirt with Taylor Swift in a RAVENS jersey as the popstar heads to Baltimore to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs: ‘Karma is a home game win’
The Chiefs will face the Ravens after barely escaping the Bills in a 27-24 thriller
The Ravens secured the top seed in the AFC with a 13-4 record this season
A Maryland-based clothing brand has joined the championship week hype by selling pieces with Taylor Swift in a Lamar Jackson jersey, despite her obvious affinity with their rival Kansas City Chiefs.
Ahead of the top-seeded Ravens’ AFC championship game against the Chiefs, Route One Apparel announced that the ‘Baltimore Football Taylor’s Version’ line is available for pre order.
‘Karma is a home game win,’ they said in the release announcement, referencing Swift’s 2022 hit.
The graphic was taken from a Graffiti piece done by artists Shawn Forton and DlordInk in collaboration with Route One. The design portrays Swift looking back, sporting a number 8 Ravens Jersey with ‘Baltimore’ in place of Jackson’s last name and DlordInk’s logo on the sleeve.
After gaining attention from various media outlets, Route One took the piece of art from the wall and pasted it on their clothing. The design is available in purple crew sweatshirts and t shirts, both priced at $35, according to their website.

Swift will be in Baltimore on Sunday to support the Chiefs in the AFC championship game
Founded by Ali von Paris in 2010, Route One prides itself in making and selling products that showcase Maryland culture.
Additionally, they collaborate with local businesses and nonprofits to support and give back to their community. ‘We are passionate about giving back to the communities our staff and customers live, work, and play in,’ their website reads.
‘We’re all about one thing – fostering the sense of community that exists between people who come from the same place.’
The brand, along with the artists, jumped on the momentum brought by Swift’s effect on the NFL this season as she pays Baltimore a visit for Sunday’s game.
Since the 12-time Grammy winner started dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, her massive fanbase flocked over to the Chiefs bandwagon. Swifties started boosting viewership and even began attending live games to catch a glimpse of their idol.

Baltimore’s star tight end Mark Andrews is expected to return from an ankle injury on Sunday
The Ravens have the chance to spoil the Chiefs and Swift’s Super Bowl dreams when they host them for the conference championship game.
Baltimore rallied behind Jackson’s MVP-caliber season as they finished with a 13-4 record before defeating the Houston Texans in the divisional playoffs. With Jackson leading the team in passing and rushing yards, Baltimore got a bigger boost with star tight end Mark Andrews expected to return from an ankle injury on Sunday.
On the other hand, the Chiefs finished the season with a 11-6 record before beating the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills in the postseason.
Swift’s boyfriend Kelce hopes to pick up from his two-touchdown performance against Buffalo as they face their biggest hurdle so far in these playoffs.
