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. ![]() |

It is beautiful ****in' symbolism that is beyond the knuckle-draggers who are bemoaning the helmet.

For whoever said they wanted a CHIEFS throwback, the Chiefs ARE wearing throwbacks. Their uniforms haven't ****ing changed. Thus, in honor of the AFL's 50th Anniversary, they're going as far back as they can.
Really, it's just a marketing ploy to sell more jerseys. Not a big deal. |

"But, we'll have the state of texas on our helmets, OH NOESSSSSS!!!11!! - I hate it so much, I'm going to petition to change a decision that has already been made, and waste my time and others, bitching about something we have absolutely zero control over!!!11!!!" |

If you really wanted to make a petition about the texans, you should have fought Houston stealing our team's heritage.

I'd like to hear what Len Dawson has to say about this. I'm sure his opinion would shut a few of you up.

I think it's a good idea, and wish we were actually playing Dallas in Texas this year for it. I'd make the trip just for that game.
