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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
