A history-making mom of two NFL stars now has her own place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The jersey and shoes Donna Kelce wore to watch her sons Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce compete against each other in Super Bowl LVII are now on display in Canton, Ohio.

Donna Kelce's Super Bowl jersey and shoes represented both of her sons' teams: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame shared a photo on Twitter of Donna Kelce's display in Canton, writing, "Talk about a Hall of Fame mom!"

When the Chiefs and the Eagles competed against each other at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, in February, Donna Kelce became the first mother to have two children go head-to-head in a Super Bowl.

Travis Kelce came home with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35.
