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.

In order to be DCS I'd have had to rack up 70 posts per day since last August.

Not possible. You have to be Crazy Coffey n00b nuts to pull that off....and sustaining it for eight months? Forget it.

Just stupid. Good one Clarke.

To my knowledge they never filed for bankruptcy, and they are the same team, they just moved like several other teams have.

That logo represents Lamar refusing to take an NFL team in Dallas, and sticking to his guns about the AFL...his name isn't on the trophy for nothing.

Well said.

All of the old AFL teams are wearing their old AFL jerseys. I don't see either the shock or disappointment that we are wearing our original uniforms.

I heard that 810 was rambling on about this today. I suspect that some of you complaining have been listening to Kietzman, or, more likely, are Kietzman.

Um, he WANTED the Texans/Chiefs to be a new franchise in the NFL. The NFL said "no", so he created his own league.

THEN the NFL gave the nod to Clint Murchison out of spite who hired Landry, stole Meredith, and created the Cowboys.

Everyone needs to calm down, just like good ol' Bob Gretz suggests... Be glad our helmet never had this mother****er on it:

WTF is that reeruned horse doing? My gf's mother broke a crystal bull she had and tried to glue it back together. I will try and get a picture of it next time I'm up there.. It really looks just as reeruned as this one!

Not all true. NFL awarded Dallas a franchise but before they gave it to Murchinson they offered it to Hunt knowing if he took it the AFL would die. But Hunt stayed loyal to his AFL friends. Thats when Murchinson got the Cowboys and the rest is history.

The logos and uniforms are from they year these teams won the AFL championship. Although not all the teams won the title. The Texans won the AFL championship in 1962. This is the uniform they wore in 62. Clark Hunt isn't trying to anger Chiefs fans.
