Uniforms.... (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280795)

Vikings and Browns have had the prettiest uni's in 25 years.

The team colors are Red and Gold, and yet we've never actually worn Red & Gold?

Are we officially red and gold?

I tell my girlfriend that our unis are great and she says we look like a McDonalds sponsored team. I wonder what our unis would look like with good instead of yellow..

(God, Mules would have been a terrible choice)

Read below - our original colors were going to be Columbia blue and Orange.
(Donkey's colors)
Bud Adams already selected
Columbia blue - which was the color of the Oilers, with
Scarlet Red. The league blocked our 1st choice because it was already claimed, and so Lamar selected Red and Gold. The Texans team color were Yellow and White, so while we are actually Red and Gold- I think it was a bit of a carryover from the Texans, as well as to differentiate from the 49ers color scheme.

Quote:

When the Texans began playing in 1960, the team's logo consisted of the state of Texas in white with a yellow star marking the location of the city of Dallas. Originally, Hunt chose Columbia blue and orange for the Texans' uniforms, but Bud Adams chose Columbia blue and scarlet for his Houston Oilers franchise.[68] Hunt reverted to red and gold for the Texans' uniforms, which even after the team relocated to Kansas City, remain as the franchise's colors to this day.[68]

The state of Texas on the team's helmet was replaced by an arrowhead design originally sketched by Lamar Hunt on a napkin.[68] Hunt's inspiration for the interlocking "KC" design was the "SF" inside of an oval on the San Francisco 49ers helmets.[68] Unlike the 49ers' logo, Kansas City’s overlapping initials appear inside a white arrowhead instead of an oval and are surrounded by a thin black outline.[68] From 1960 to 1973, the Chiefs had grey facemask bars on their helmets, but changed to white bars in 1974, making them one of the first teams in the NFL to use a non-gray facemask.[68]

The Chiefs' uniform design has essentially remained the same throughout the club's history.[68] It consists of a red helmet, and either red or white jerseys with the opposite color numbers and names.[68] White pants were used with both jerseys from 1960 to 1967 and 1989 to 1999.[68] Beginning in 2009, during the Pioli/Haley era, the team has alternated between white and red pants for road games during the season. Prior to September 15, 2013, the Chiefs always wore white pants with their red jerseys. The Chiefs have never worn an alternate jersey in a game, although custom jerseys are sold for retail.

The Chiefs wore their white jerseys with white pants at home for the 2006 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. The logic behind the uniform selection that day was that the Bengals would be forced to wear their black uniforms on a day that forecasted for steamy temperatures.[69] The only other time the Chiefs wore white at home was throughout the 1980 season under Marv Levy.

In 2007, the Kansas City Chiefs honored Lamar Hunt and the AFL with a special patch.[70] It features the AFL's logo from the 1960s with Hunt's "LH" initials inside the football.[70] In 2008, the patch became permanently affixed to the left chest of both Kansas City's home and away jerseys.[70]

In select games for the 2009 season, the Chiefs—as well as the other founding teams of the American Football League—wore "throwback" uniforms to celebrate the AFL's 50th anniversary and the 1962 Dallas Texans team that won the AFL Championship.[71]

For the first time in team history, the Chiefs wore their red jersey with red pants forming an all red combo in their home opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 15, 2013.

That is simplicity at its best. You may be onto something...

I don't even know if we exactly match our colors to what they are officially- seems like our red is actually darker and our "gold" is actually lighter?

Why anyone would include yellow/gold in their color scheme is beyond me.

No way. In fact I think they're the absolute worst - right down to their day-glow green shoes.

Simplicity is where it's at. 2 colors work best with simple streamlines and basic logo's.
I've always liked the Colts, Bears, Browns and Steelers.

I've always liked the Chiefs but modifications could really bring it to the next level. For me, if they loose the yellow all together and take out the "KC" from the helmet, making it a solid arrowhead. Also, similar what the Giants have is a metallic finish on their blue helmet. Imagine the red metallic helmet with a solid white arrowhead? That would be bad ass IMO.

I agree with your take on Seattle's uniforms, but not at all with your take about removing the KC letters from the Chiefs logo. Thats the #1 thing that identifies the team. Why on earth would you change that???

And broncos and potentially Seahawks. We need a uniform refresh to symbolically bury the playoff woes on the last 20 years

Steelers even changed the font of their letters and numbers

Seattle has some ugly ass jerseys.
