Caitlin Clark tells Kylie Kelce she wants 'to be loyal to the red' after Colts' blue jersey controversy
Caitlin Clark plays for the , who plays in a building is just a short walk from Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts.
Clark, who has routinely been spotted watching Kansas City Chiefs games from a luxury suite alongside music star Taylor Swift, joked that her football allegiance could shift toward the Indianapolis Colts. But she jokingly cautioned that throwing her support behind the Colts could leave Travis Kelce and Chiefs fans somewhat upset.
Clark appeared on the "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, hosted by Kylie Kelce, Taylor Swifts sister-in-law, and recalled attending a Colts game last season. During her visit to Lucas Oil Stadium, Clark explained why she chose not to wear the custom jersey the team had given her.

Kylie was supportive of Clarks decision not to wear the blue jersey during the podcast. Clark also suggested it was best for her "to be loyal to the red," a reference to the Chiefs signature jersey color.
Clark was seen at Arrowhead Stadium as recently on Oct. 18, cheering for Kansas City alongside Swift.
Kylie then asked whether Clark had noticed any backlash over the jersey situation.
"Honestly, in real time I wasnt thinking Im not gonna put this on because I dont want, like, fans mad or Travis mad or whatever, but after the fact, I didnt realize that all my teammates had it on, so that made me look worse.," Clark said.

The custom Colts jersey wasn't thrown out, in fact, Clark still has it. "Its cool! They put my name on it," she told Kylie, who shared shes "caught a lot of sh-- for not putting the red on" when she's taking in Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium with her husband, Jason Kelce.
Even so, Clark appears to have respect for the Colts organization and its leadership, which is overseen by the late Jim Irsays daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson. Carlie leads the franchises day-to-day operations and has developed a reputation for her hands-on approach, including standing on the sideline during games with an earpiece to listen to live play calls.
"I love the Colts. I think its so cool, the Irsay daughters and what they do," Clark said.
Clarks friendly relationship with the Kelce family also extends to Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason. Donna wore Clarks jersey, and the two chatted before a Fever game in September.
The Colts have lost four consecutive games and appear to be entering a major roster overhaul. Amid the shakeup, running back Jonathan Taylor emerged as a potential trade candidate. ESPN, however, recently reported that the Colts "dont wanna trade" Taylor, at least for now.
