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. ![]() |

I feel sorry for the fans who go to all the road games. Having to roll up in to Dungver, Sandy Bunghole, or Oakland?
Having to sit there for four quarters and listen to a bunch of shit about Texas on top of the usual stuff??? No thanks...

If the Chiefs were going to play in throwbacks I would prefer the old larger arrowhead logos on the helmet.

The Chiefs were an AFL team in KCMO longer than the were an AFL team in TX.
Come on dude, the Chiefs' spent only three years in TX and we're going to put that state on our helmet? It's stupid and it's an insult to MO and all who have supported the Chiefs' here. Throw in a newly renovated stadium funded by the taxpayers of MO and it's even worse. This is to honor the AFL, not the original city of the team. The Chiefs were an AFL team in KCMO longer than they were an AFL team in TX. That helmet is a really BAD idea. I don't mind throwback unis, but NOT this.
