KC Wolf has been entertaining the crowd for over 30 years and is an iconic symbol of Kansas City. Dan Meers, who has been wearing the mascot for 34 years, has previously been known as ‘Truman the Tiger’, a mascot for the University of Missouri.

Despite a serious accident, Meers continued his mascot career after writing a book during recovery. For the Super Bowl, KC Wolf was introduced as a successor to Warpaint, a horse ridden by a man wearing a full Indian chief headdress from the mid-1960s.
