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.

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

Just remember that.

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"?

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?

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.

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.
