In 2013 you clowns can celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Kansas City Chiefs and the arrowhead helmet.

2009 is the 50th anniversary of the AFL and in 1959-1962 the franchise was in Dallas.

Nothing to get bent outta shape for.

The problem is that this ISN'T Texas!!!

The problem is that this isn't just a style or a color, this actually shows a outline picture of another state on the uniform.

The problem is the picture of the other state that is on the helmet is still active in the NFL.

The problem is the other state on our helmet will actually be our OPPONENT in one of these games.

It's beyond stupid



**** Texas, **** everyone in Texas


If they use the AFL logo instead and i'm fine with it.

Oh settle the **** down Nancy.

hehe :moon:

kfc, when the dodgers wear a "B" on their hats i don't turn into ****ing John Hinckley

Bunch of you must have slept in a sandpit last night and not cleaned your 'giners out this morning.

Careful n00b, while I see your point, there's no reason to throw a fit about it.

Of course you are for it, you live in Houston.

I think i might of pulled a groin with that post. :D

That really has nothing to do with it. I'm all for ****ing Texas up the ass.

I just respect the origins of the franchise and enjoy a changeup.

There's nothing quite like hate masturbation.

Hmmm. Texas seems to be a hot button for you. What are your thoughts on Alabama or Wyoming or New Hampshire?

And they've been supported for the last 45+ years outside of that mosquito-infested shithole.

If we wear those Texan uni's this year does that mean we are actually part of "America's Team"? :grr:


How 'bout dem Chiefs!?!?

50 ****ing years old we are, and we have to travel back in time to another STATE, to get a Throwback look happening!?

For the LOVE OF GOD; put the Pele soccer socks, and "Go on and take a free ride"-look of the 1970's to bed, and give me a NEW UNI.

Jesus, folks.

The Titans are wearing the original Oilers uni's with an oil derrick on the helmet.

I wonder if they're pitching a fit?

Seriously - our franchise was originally based in Texas. Who gives a flying fuck if we have the old logo on our helmet for a few games?

Dumbass.

You want some sweet graphics on the helmet, ehh Mr. Crap E. Photoshop?

Man you are a giner about this.

:clap::clap::):D:D:(:eek::cuss::cuss:ROFL:spock::spock:

you guys have to trust pioli on this. he knows what he's doing.

I don't care if we wear the Texans uniforms, but we shouldn't be wearing our old Dallas uniforms when we are playing the freaking Cowboys. I think it would be a better idea if we just wore them when we played all of the teams in our division since they are all original AFL teams.

Also, **** Texas.

He can run through anyone

I wonder if the Titans will wear those Oiler uniforms when they play in Houston.

Yeah... let's take style suggestions from the guy who's ever-changing sig resembles an 80's Crest toothpaste ad.

The Cowboys game is the perfect one for it IMO. They are the reason the Chiefs are in Kansas City. Also every stinking bandwagon fan of the Cowboys should no the real reason why their team is around.

Finally, proof that a negative IQ is possible.

Good work, GoSuck.

ROFL

It is beautiful ****in' symbolism that is beyond the knuckle-draggers who are bemoaning the helmet.

For whoever said they wanted a CHIEFS throwback, the Chiefs ARE wearing throwbacks. Their uniforms haven't ****ing changed. Thus, in honor of the AFL's 50th Anniversary, they're going as far back as they can.

Really, it's just a marketing ploy to sell more jerseys. Not a big deal.

Texas is just a bigger version of Mobilehoma.

wow, just wow. waste our time somemore with another fight about something I couldn't give two shits about. We were the texans first, so freakin what.

"But, we'll have the state of texas on our helmets, OH NOESSSSSS!!!11!! - I hate it so much, I'm going to petition to change a decision that has already been made, and waste my time and others, bitching about something we have absolutely zero control over!!!11!!!"

Who the hell would buy a helmet with Texas on the side of it?

Hey tools! The Chiefs just announced the Official Car for the 2009 Season!
Unfortunately, the spokesman is dead:

"GO on, and smoke my free pole"(free pole!)!!!

If you really wanted to make a petition about the texans, you should have fought Houston stealing our team's heritage.

I'd like to hear what Len Dawson has to say about this. I'm sure his opinion would shut a few of you up.

I think it's a good idea, and wish we were actually playing Dallas in Texas this year for it. I'd make the trip just for that game.

He can run through anyone

Hey, I'm down with it! That's our history, and that's cool with me! And we deserve the **** OUT OF IT for looking like the "McChiefs" for 40 ****ing years.

Sal-ute!

Someone from Texas maybe?

That Cordoba looks like it rides like a covered wagon.

LOL at all these petty mother****ers.....Texas bias>the point.

I like it!

i like texas & people in dallas got hair.

Hey, man; that's the ride of the future! The FUTURE! :rolleyes:

I love the picture on kcchiefs.com...

Particularly touching is the shot of McDaniels holding the #6 jersey in the shot. Cutler's gotta cut and paste that shot all over his home computer wallpaper.

Or he could use this one:

God McDaniels looks like a douchebag.

I might just have to use that as my avatar. Priceless...thanks!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I can't believe this is a big deal, even on CP. It would absolutely defy logic for the rest of the original AFL teams to wear their original unis and have the Chiefs pick one the fans prefer. Is anyone going to see the TX on their helmet and actually be confused? Or do you really hate TX THAT much?

If we were throwing back to the 'Pyongyang North Koreans' I could understand the problem.

I don't see it as an "insult" to Kansas City or the Chiefs at all, it's simply that there IS NOTHING ELSE to "throw back" to.

I mean, we could trot out some ancient cleats and possibly the helmets from the late 60's/70's with the ULTRA HUGE Arrowhead on them, but the footwear would slow the guys down, and those old helmets would probably get them killed in today's game! ROFL

Meh, I'm not wild about it, but when you see all the unis together like this, it's kinda cool I guess. Lamar would have liked it. If they were going to do it, they should have done it before he passed.

I kind of like that the Chiefs uniforms have always been basically the same. I like the unity of tradition, even if we are the official team of Ronald McDonald. :shrug:

was that first picture taken back when mecca still drank?

By George, I've got it!

We'll "throw back" the playbook too!

Hit' em with a "65-toss power-trap", Todd!

Larry and Jamal to the Elephant Backfield!!! ROFL

Could it be....It.....IT IS!!!! ITS THE OL' MARYLAND-I!!!!!

He's like LOL CUTLER

The color guard bringing the flags into the stadiums should wear throwbacks also.... Pantaloons, 8 peice wool suits with brass buttons, monocle, and wielding a standard issue brown bess musket with all the queens trimmings.

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

TO THE CORDOBA!!!! CRANK THE ELO!!!!!ROFL

REP!

friggin hilarious!

eh, one game against Dallas I can see, but three times?

Yes, we understand that your, among others, understanding of the history of the Kansas City Chiefs is lacking. Maybe we can convince you to educate yourself though. Try watching the History of the Kansas City Chiefs. Which C-MAC has been so kind as to provide you the opportunity to watch at anytime you please.

The Dallas Texans aren't just the team the Kansas City Chiefs USED to be. They ARE the Kansas City Chiefs, they are Lamar Hunts heart and soul, they ARE the NFL. Anyone who doesn't recognize this, is an idiot. You should be honored to have the opportunity to see their likeness displayed proudly by the Chiefs, and yet...you are not.

In response to this mindset brought forth by a few "uneducated" Chiefs fans on this board, I've written this rebuttal. I admit I borrowed heavily from Wikipedia, but re-wrote a lot of it, b/c I didn't care for the way it was all written. All in all, you should get the point.


Lamar Hunt loved sports, and most of all, in the late 1950's, he loved football. His dream was to bring professional football to his hometown of Dallas, TX. So, in 1959, on the strength of his great inherited oil wealth, Hunt applied for a National Football League expansion franchise. He was turned down. At this time, professional football was a distant second to Major League Baseball in the hearts of the American people. The thinking among NFL executives was that the league must be careful not to "oversaturate" the market by expanding too quickly.

So in 1960, Hunt decided to respond to the NFL's decision. Hunt took it upon himself, along with fellow Texan and oil man K.S. Bud Adams of Houston(who had also tried and failed to be granted an NFL franchise) to form the American Football League. Hunt and Adams rallied six other like-minded wealthy men to form this new league. The group of the eight founders of the AFL teams was referred to as the "Foolish Club." Hunt's goal was to bring professional football to Texas and to acquire an NFL team for the Hunt family. Hunt became owner of the Dallas Texans and hired future hall-of-famer Hank Stram as the team's first head coach.

In his first words to his team, head coach Hank Stram said to his players and personnel, "I don't know how long this league is going to last. I don't know what will happen, but when the end comes, I want to make sure, that we are going to wind up being, the winning est team, in the history of the American Football League".

Later in 1960, in response to this move by Hunt and the "Foolish Eight" the NFL, who just months before had turned down Lamar Hunt's request for an expansion team, created the Dallas Cowboys. A strategy designed specifically to drive the AFL out of Dallas.

The Dallas Texans won the AFL Championship in 1962 over the 2-time defending champion Houston Oilers in the longest professional game ever played as of that time and were one of the most successful AFL teams in the league's early days. But the Texans' success failed to draw fans in large numbers, as the Texans had to compete for fan loyalty with their cross-town NFL rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.

Though the Texans/Chiefs had always considered themselves to be vaunted rivals of the Dallas Cowboys. The two teams never faced off in competition while residing in the same city. I for one, consider this match-up to be quite fitting for the AFL's 50th anniversary, and one that I know Clark Hunt, wishes he father were still alive to see.

It is obvious to you, what the Chiefs do for you and Kansas City, but you should open your eyes to what Lamar Hunt and the Texans did for the Chiefs. Without the Texans, the Chiefs, and the NFL as we know it, would cease to be.

The effect the AFL has had on football have been long standing. The rosters of the AFL were always stocked with a certain number of players who would have excelled in any league -- and that number grew as the 1960s progressed. The best AFL coaches and owners, many of them new to the pro game, brought color, excitement and important new strategic and marketing ideas to pro football, which had often been dominated by play-calling which overrated the value of eliminating mistakes and underrated the element of surprise. While the NFL was always almost certainly the better league as a whole, the best teams of the AFL were increasingly the equals of any team in the NFL.

The AFL also substantially raised football players' salaries by frequently bidding against the NFL for the top college stars. It was the NFL's concern for containing salaries, more than anything else, that led a reluctant NFL to accept a merger between the two leagues in 1970. The older league could no longer claim to be far superior because by then the AFL champion New York Jets had defeated the vaunted Baltimore Colts of the NFL to win the Super Bowl. The Chiefs' triumph over the Vikings the following season further showcased the AFL's ability.

Today's "descendants" from the AFL, the Patriots, Bills, Jets, Titans, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Dolphins and Bengals would not have existed if it hadn’t been for Lamar Hunt. What’s more, the NFL’s Cowboys, created specifically to drive the AFL out of Dallas, would not have existed. Neither would the Vikings, an NFL franchise that was given to Max Winter to pull out of the original eight-team American Football League; nor would the Falcons, which the NFL gave to Rankin Smith to deter him from the AFL’s Miami franchise. Neither would the Saints, whose franchise was granted by the NFL after certain Louisiana congressmen pushed the AFL-NFL merger to completion. Or the Houston Texans, created to replace the Houston Oilers after they moved to Tennessee and became the Tennessee Titans. Thus, fifteen professional football teams would not have existed in fifteen cities today, if Lamar Hunt had not had the vision and the courage to “fight the establishment”.

In 1972, Lamar Hunt became the first American Football League personage inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A true testament to the lasting effect his life has left on the game of football. The trophy presented to each year's AFC Champions is named the Lamar Hunt Trophy. In 1984, Hunt was also inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

**** that, deys got texas on the helmet man

Also, if you are truly unhappy with the Chiefs decision to wear the Texans helmet, please don't refer to http://www.jotform.com/form/90822940333 for options. As far as I know, I don't believe the Chiefs ever wore but one of those symbols on their helmet. I could be wrong, and correct me if I am, but I don't think they wore any but the Arrowhead.

If you REALLY want to see a different CHIEFS throwback helmet, check out the 1:49 mark in History of the Kansas City Chiefs on C-MAC's page.

Though, I think doing so would be a huge disrespect to Lamar Hunt.

Damn, Claythan, if you can't handle your booze any better than this, you better give it up.

Haley loves him some Bowe. But then again, he couldn't go with 88 or 27 & Cassel's is unknown

Jesus Christ, DCS and I are SEPARATE PEOPLE, reerun. Get it through your thick skull.

I understand where the Chiefs team evolved from and i understand the AFL and how it merged with the NFL. I also understand that the Hunts are basically Texans hanging out in KC making a living. I understand all of that and i imagine that is why Clark Hunt doesn't have a problem putting on his cowboy hat and boots and singing "They eyes of Texas are upon you" or some such goofy crap. Still doesn't mean i want the Kansas City Chiefs playing a game with a stupid picture of Texas on their helmet.

Their origins is BANKRUPTCY.

Chiefs are not the same team.

Just stupid. Good one Clarke.

Sure you are.

I can't believe anyone has a problem with this. WTF cares?

Ask a mod, reerun.

Using proxies or whatever you're doing doesn't make you a separate person, psycho...

Claythan is annoying but not nearly as annoying as DCS.

Everyone has valid points to me. But I still don't like to see my team representing another state. Where have the Chiefs spent the vast majority of their existence? The Chiefs are more the KANSAS CITY Chiefs than they could possibly be the Dallas Texans. This team is ours now, it does not owe any allegiance to Texas. It started there - so what? Our country was shaped from numerous immigrants from all over the world. We don't sing another nations national anthem, we sure as s**t don't wear someone else's military garb, our flag doesn't represent an outside nation. We are independent and have our own identity now. Sure it's great to remember and celebrate history, I just personally disagree with the manner it's being done here.
