Jeff McDevitt posted a photo on social media of the cake that featured the words "Go Taylor's Boyfriend" and the number 87, referencing Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and icing in the Chiefs colors.

"They’re selling this at the Acme in Havertown," McDevitt said. "UNACCEPTABLE."

An ACME representative described the confection to Patch as a "rogue cake."

"ACME bleeds green and that particular design was not one of the approved designs for this year," they said.

About a day later, ACME responded to McDevitt.

They posted a photo of a new cookie cake, this one with a different color scheme and message.

The new cake read "Jason > Travis" and featured the iconic Philly phrase "Go Birds." It also featured green and white icing and Eagles helmets.

"We know there’s some Bad Blood over that Chiefs cookie cake—trust us, we’re not happy about it either," ACME said online. "ACME is Eagles country, and we’re staying true to midnight green."

ACME has since posted a video online showing a plethora of midnight green and Eagles themed baked goods.
