Chiefs to wear throwback uniforms
 

Awesome!

The Cowboys and Texans shared the Dallas market in competing football leagues in the early 1960s but never settled the matter of supremacy on the field.

They will get a chance this season. The Texans, who in 1963 moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs, will play the Cowboys at Arrowhead Stadium. The NFL on Monday granted the teams permission to wear their original uniforms and helmets from their inaugural seasons of 1960.

“Personally, that’s something I’m excited about,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said. “Even though the Cowboys weren’t part of the AFL, their history is linked with that of the AFL and the Chiefs.”

The Chiefs will wear the same throwback uniforms and helmets for two other games this season. Both will come against a rival from the AFC West. One will be at Arrowhead, the other on the road.

The game against the Cowboys might mean the most to Hunt. His late father, Lamar Hunt, founded the Texans and the AFL in 1960. The NFL launched the Cowboys that same season to battle him for the Dallas market.

The Cowboys chased the Texans out of town after three seasons. Because they played in separate leagues, the teams never played one another.

“I have no doubt my father challenged (Cowboys owner) Clint Murchison probably many times during those three years,” Hunt said. “I’m sure the NFL told Clint he couldn’t play a team from that upstart league. So we’ll finally have a chance to do that.

“This will be a fun way to remember what happened 50 years ago.”

The Chiefs and Cowboys have played eight times in the regular season since the AFL and NFL merged in 1970. Dallas won five times.

That's cool.

Sweet!

That's a better looking helmet than 1/2 the crap in the NFL today.

Here's Mitchell and Ness' throwback.

I hope they have apparel for the fans...It would be cool to have a throwback from that era.

I was wondering when the chiefs would get in on this throwback jersey thing. It's kinda weird having the State of Texas on your helmet while playing in MO though.

That would be fuggin sweet to get a throwback from that era.

what do the jerseys/pants look like? pretty much the same as now minus a couple stripes?

So we'll probably go white jersey/white pants since that was Lamar's favorite look.

Yuck. I hate throwback unis. Especially the Steelers... that's some ugly shit.

Check this out...

That pisses me off. Montana never played a game for us wearing that uniform. Where are the stripes on the sleeves? And those greedy Mitchell & Ness ****ers probably want $300 for that jersey, too. I'll take the Korean knockoff for $40, thank you very much.

Zubaz.

Guess I know what game I'm going to.

Get that state off of my chiefs helmet!

Agreed, this is reeruned

Have some respect for the origins of the ****in' franchise you nitwits.

The more I think about it, I agree. I have no problem with throwback stuff, but this is like throwing back to a time before we used toilet paper to wipe our asses. **** Texas.

I have respect but that doesn't mean I think TX should be on our uni's

**** off. nitwit.

The Chiefs wouldn't be "our" team right now if they hadn't worn that Texas helmet back in the day. It's where they came from. Respecting that doesn't mean you're taking a shit on the Arrowhead symbol.

The Kansas City Texans! You cotton-headed ninny muggins.

TUCK FEXAS!

So we are going to have a game at Arrowhead with the teams both wearing Texan uniforms?

:shake:

Claythan..... Epic Fail.

Cool - that'll be neat.

I really don't see the problem. The team was founded in Texas. Just a part of the 50th anniversary deal. And it's only a couple of games.

This. Its just people bitching to bitch.

Negitive. I don't want a Texans throwback jersey. I want a Chiefs throwback.

It is the origin of our eternal love. It is the genesis of the current franchise. It is beyond awesome.

So, given that this is a 50-year anniversary, please provide the year of the jersey that you think would be appropriate, since 1960 doesn't work for you.

They are one and the same. The Texans became the Chiefs. The Chiefs have no "throwback" history other than previously being the Texans. A Chiefs throwback IS a Texans throwback. Sorry if that upsets you.

I think everyone understands the logic, but that doesn't mean they have to like it. Has any other team rocked a throwback of a different state?

Just got the details from Pioli:

sounds good too me

Rams throwbacks are technically throwbacks to L.A. Colts throwbacks are technically from Baltimore. You just don't think about it because they didn't used to be the L.A. Californians or Baltimore Marylanders.

This is the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas.

I don't see the problem with all of this? :shrug: We were once located in Texas. If they do the throwbacks right, the Jets will have to be the Titans for their two games. Is just the simple sticker on the side of a helmet? :rolleyes:

I wouldn't have a problem with it if their nickname wasn't The Texans.

Indeed, good point sir - but I still don't like it

This. A team name currently in use.

Pay homage to the history of your franchise. The Kansas city Texans is unstable, but so was the Tennessee oilers. It's only for a few games, and don't mess with Texas!

get the Chiefs founder out of my state

It sounds like Keitzman is about to do a 1 hour bitch session on this at 3:00.

I always wondered what the Chiefs throwback jersey's would look like, it's a trend in the NFL several teams are wearing them including the Titans and the Buccaneers.

I like it and hope to attend one of the throwback games.

This should be absolutely cool. Great way to celebrate the history of the Chiefs and the AFL. I wonder if any of the other original AFL teams will be following suit? (pun intended)

Plus as an added bonus, it's drawn all the BB ****tards out into the open to bitch about it...Should make it easy to round them up and tag them for future studies.

All of the original AFL teams are doing this.

Todd Haley is so goofy looking.

thats bullshit. titans fans should not be disgraced like that

Lol @ Ours and the Raiders jersy looking exactly the same as they did 50 years ago.

I dont understand why people are bitching about this. Its like if you were of Irish Heritage and you got upset if someone called you Irish American. Its the same thing. The Chiefs are from Dallas originally so we have to celebrate that, we shouldnt be mad at being called Texans, it is what it is.

Who's the douchebag second from the left?

The Bills jersey is nice though. I would think the Chargers was good but I've seen it too many times before and it has already worn on me.

that fat **** from the Raider is encroaching on my beloved red and gold


"you better back the truck up, bitch!!"

White on white:

mcdaniels. but yeah hes a douchbag

I'm pretty excited for brown and yellow striped socks.

The donks are missing from this picture. Their original helmet actually looked like a donkey.

It amuses me that Bob Kraft had to go up there and hold the jersey for NE. Bill wanted no part of it.

No, they had brown and yellow uniforms for the first two years. McDaniels is holding it up.

they ****ed up on a few of them but the denver one looks right

:D

Ooooh. Looks like a water boy.

Wrong by me. The donks uni is the turd colored helmet with the number.

a cutler one:shake:ROFL

michael jordan white sox jereys are definitely gay

Chiefs to Unveil "Throwback" AFL Uniforms in 2009

Mar 24, 2009, 2:38:00 PM

The National Football League has officially granted permission to the Kansas City Chiefs to wear replicas of their original uniforms and helmets from the club’s ‘62 AFL Championship season during three select games this season. The Chiefs, originally founded as the Dallas Texans, will wear their “throwbacks” along with the seven original American Football League members as the franchises join to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt’s creation of the AFL.

The Chiefs “throwback” look will feature helmets with gray facemasks and a Texas-shaped decal with a gold star showing the location of the city of Dallas. Jerseys for the club’s “throwback” games will include a pair of patches that honor both the Chiefs 50th anniversary and the AFL’s 50th anniversary. Kansas City will don these replica uniforms when they host the Dallas Cowboys at Arrowhead Stadium and against two AFC West opponents yet to be determined (one home date and one away date).


In addition, the NFL will honor the AFL’s 50th birthday on its 2009 Kickoff Weekend with a Monday Night Football (9/14) doubleheader featuring club’s from the AFL’s first season. The first game will send Buffalo to visit New England and the MNF nightcap will be an AFC West battle with Oakland hosting San Diego. The Chiefs are also scheduled to unveil a 50th anniversary logo and host a series of events throughout the year to commemorate the franchise’s 50th anniversary.

This too:

ROFLROFLROFLOH MY GOD; they ARE gonna' wear the Texans Rig!!!!ROFLROFLROFL

We had this discussion last week! I was like; "what are they gonna' "throwback" to, the Texans Helmet"?

Good grief...:doh!:

We are actually gonna have a picture of TEXAS on our uniforms while playing against a team from Texas. Just irritating as hell.



"Hey everybody, it's promote Texas day at Arrowhead!! Buy your free Texas memorabilia at the nearest vendor. All proceeds will go to feed the homeless down in Houston."

spock::doh!::doh!::evil::rolleyes::rolleyes::maap:hahahahahahahahaahROFLSTFUSTFU:clap::cuss:

Hopefully they'll commemorate the 50th anniversary of the franchise by not sucking ass.

Their is a petition at 810whb.com about picking a different helmet. KK is talking about it. He has a good point for the first time in a couple of months.

WTF is the problem? They weren't the Chiefs in 1959.

The Chiefs were founded on Texas oil money.

Just remember that.

Whoever called the hour long Kietzman thing... you were dead on. Oh and **** the state of Texas.

Option 2 is nice. I had almost forgotten about that logo. Option 1 is bad because dont we wear that patch already? Option 5 is another good pick. But I wont bitch either way we go.

I agree with kcChiefsKing.. option number 2 is the best of the bunch.

I voted for 2 also.

Kevin Keitzman is a collosal douchebag. Sorry to all you KC people that have to listen to sports talk radio in that market.
