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.

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.

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.

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

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.
