Chiefs Have you noticed that the Chiefs logo is different on the two sides of the helmet? - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 12-13-2020, 11:45 AM

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.

Wut?

You mean we have logo's on our helmets?

RINGLEADER · 12-13-2020, 04:42 PM

Actually, there are only six teams with the same logo on both sides...

On Edit: I think it might be nine...

I made big ass KC arrowheads out of timber for corbels on my back patio. They point towards each other and I had to take the forward /backward KC into account. My mill shop guy was confused until I showed him (pictures) of what I meant. His exact words, "I'll be damned, I never noticed that before"

**chefsos** · 12-13-2020, 05:06 PM

...but the "C" on the helmet isn't the same as the one in the official logo. Helmet "C" is kind of straight and open, and the official logo "C" curls around and is closed. It's been that way for a long time, too.

Or am I misunderstanding the point?

EDIT: While I'm at it, I HATE HATE HATE the white border around the official logo (as it appears on Reid's hat in OP). I've had jackets/hats with that crap, and immediately employed a red marker to erase it/blend into the red background.

The only time it bothered me was when I watched Nascar and the numbers leaned the wrong way.

Jeff Gordon didn't care.

But Alex Bowman did care.

Ravens cared.

Then there is the Steelers who only have a logo on one side.

The C opened to the front of the arrow(point) looks better. imo.

Is there a rule that the blue field has to be the attachment point to the flagpole? If you attached it on the all-striped side you could move and keep the branding consistent.

Of course you'd have a left and a right if you want the point of the arrowhead to point forward on both sides.

**HayWire** · 12-13-2020, 08:31 PM

Ummm...wait. You joking RM? It's been this way for years. Look up old pics when Stram wore a suit with a logo and it's backwards too
