There is a detail of the LVII Super Bowl It has caught the attention of many fans. The players of Kansas City Chiefs they wore the Spanish flag so much in the sleeves of their t-shirts like in pants and socks. Various sources, among which are the very US embassy in Madridaffirm that it is not a casual event but a tribute from the brand new Super Bowl champions to our country, more specifically to the city of Sevilla.
To know the reason for this tribute you have to take a trip back in time, specifically to the March 25, 1969, just a few months before man set foot on the moon. That day, kansas city (not to be confused with the state of Kansas) remained twinned with Seville after decades of relationship by work and grace of the North American architect and real estate developer J.C. Nicholswho, captivated by Seville and especially by the giraldadecided to build in Kansas City (Missouri) a replica of it, known as swanson buildingin the Country Club Plaza shopping center.

This twinning had its golden brooch at the Seville Expo 92when an urban reorganization took place in the city of Seville that included the creation of the avenida Kansas Cityknown by all those visitors who arrive in Seville on the AVE bound for the Santa Justa station.
Urban legend?
However, some voices do not hesitate to point out that this romantic theory It has more fiction than realitysince a year before the aforementioned twinning between the Andalusian city and Kansas City (although it was already in process), the Chiefs they had modified his uniformalternately using the colored pants with the white ones in which they included white, red and yellow vertical lines.
Be that as it may, Sevilla had a clear favorite for this final. And they were right, since the Kansas City Chiefs took to their showcases the third Super Bowl in its history.
