Have you noticed that the Chiefs logo is different on the two sides of the helmet?
 
I was thinking about the Chiefs helmet today and never really paid attention to the fact that the logos are different.

The left side of the helmet has the "K" in the point of the Arrowhead. The right side of the log has the "C" in point of the Arrowhead. It's kind of required given that you want the arrowhead to point forward and not have the letters backwards.

The right side appears to be the official logo, which makes the left side really exotic.

It's bothered me for years lol.....

but I'm a very symmetrical person, so not having mirror image logos would bother someone like me

I'm not seeing it...

It's because they don't want the point of the arrow pointing backwards.

Yes, and what would the orientation be if it was on the back of the helmet?

I can only assume that the arrowhead would point upward.

what would you prefer? I don't really see an alternative that would be more pleasing to an OCPD brain.

either the arrow faces backwards, or the letters would have to be true mirror images, which would not be readable

Tremors and hiccups are a bad combination.

It's for continuity with the Arrowheads both moving forward..

They sell magnets like that, too.

The original redcoats had them pointing to the Left also.

Best example would be Earnhardts three leaning forward on both ides of the car.
