Chiefs to wear throwback uniforms
Awesome!
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/chi...y/1102859.html 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. ![]() |

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.

Err, it seems to me the rivalry (although) they never played between the cowboys and the Texans is one of the reasons the AFL was founded in the first place.

I never realized McDaniels looked so much like the guy from American Pie.
