Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes put on a show during Friday’s Big Slick softball game.

Mahomes hit a home run and made a slick behind-the-back throw to first base to the chagrin of actor Eric Stonestreet.

There were a couple of interesting notes about the gear Mahomes was wearing in the game.

Mahomes has an endorsement deal with Adidas, but the Royals jerseys (like the rest of Major League Baseball team) are made by Nike. There is a swoosh in the upper right-hand corner of the Royals jerseys.

All the celebrities wore Royals jerseys for the softball game, and Mahomes was the only one without the swoosh visible. His jersey had a patch sewn over the Nike logo.

This wasn’t the first time a superstar took care to hide a logo.

People who watched “The Last Dance” on Netflix may recall Michael Jordan covered up the Reebok logo during the 1992 Olympic medal ceremony because he was a Nike guy.

At the Big Slick game, Mahomes also was using a special glove that fans noticed.

The mitt is Chiefs red with yellow laces, and it has his jersey number on it. This is neat.
