My, aren't you testy. FYI, Hotel Street has been cleaned up a lot, it really isn't bad at all now.

The Chiefs have had essentially the same uniform since moving to KC. The logo is a little smaller on the helmets is the only change. Might as well not do it at all if we are just going to put a slightly larger emblem on the helmets. I think it is a great idea to wear the Texans uniforms. Hell, the Donks are wearing their much hated original uniforms, that is much worse than us having Texas on the helmet.

For the record, I've never liked Texas. But that is irrelevant here.

You appear to feel threatened by this, which sounds like an inferiority complex to me. Why else would you see it as an insult?

He's got a relevant point.

The thing that bugs me about it, is that the Raiders will be the Oakland Raiders, The Broncos will be the Denver Broncos, the Chargers will be the San Diego Chargers, and who will WE BE again?

C'mon, you have to find that just a little unsettling, yes? Two of those three games are going to be against division rivals, at least ONE of them on the road.
Do YOU wanna' go to any of those three stadiums and sit through THAT verbal shitstorm?
If so, you're either a glutton for punishment or a better fan than me I guess.

And the Jets will be the Titans, and the Titans will be the Oilers. And the Chargers will be Los Angeles Chargers. And the Donks will be wearing God-ugly brown and yellow uniforms (I hope they have the vertical striped socks that everyone hated

). But in reality they will all have their usual names, they will just be wearing historic uniforms. Much ado about nothing.

Didn't know about the "Los Angeles" Chargers. Good! Make the road game at SD, and we're all good to go!

The Chargers were in LA for their first season before moving to SD.

I'd love to go to SD and watch if that is where they wear them. I'd NEVER go to Oakland no matter what, I value my life too much (I used to live in the Bay Area in the 80s, when the Faders were in LA, but even then it was dangerous to wear a Chiefs jersey or hat anywhere in the BA). Those Fader fans are psycho.

I used to go to Chiefs/Raider games in oakland every year in my Chiefs gear. Though, i would cover up in the stadium hallways. I seen some bad things happen to Chiefs fans in there. Most people though, talk a big game and wont do shit. I have had to step up to some fans as well, they will back down, but you do got some drunk knuckle head that wont and him and his friends will have a field day on you. lol

I am hoping to start going again in a few years. Live is nice and all, but i am the only Chiefs fan with all m y friends which are Raider fans. lol

Yeah, I lived in Sunnyvale for most of the 80s. I worked with one guy who was a Chiefs fan, and it was us against about 20 Raiders fans.

Luckily the 49ers were great then, so a lot of people there were Niner fans, and they hated the Raiders as much as us.

I remember one year there was a preseason game in Oakland against the Niners. It was kind of a big deal since the Raiders were in LA at the time. A lot of Niner fans went, and there were numerous reports of Raider fans assaulting them - even though they aren't rivals and aren't even in the same conference. There was one instance of a Raider fan throwing a beer on a man who was with his 8 year old son. Classy bunch those Raider fans are....

I was threatened a couple of times when I wore a Chiefs hat.

We really should just daisy-cutter Oakland in to oblivion. Doesn't the Golden Gate run from SF to Oakland?

Wow. Just got off Google Maps. What a ****ing dump Oakland is. "McCaffe Coliseum"? Gay.

No, the Bay Bridge runs between SF and Oakland. The Golden Gate goes from SF to Marin County. But i do like the daisy cutter idea.....

I've been thinking about relocating to Santa Cruz if and when the economy perks up. Looks like it's nice and far away from Oakland AND SF.

Nice.

I like Santa Cruz.

I also like SF. Oakland not so much.

Not threatened at all. Not feeling inferior to Texas either. And not so testy. However, I am extremely envious of you and all the lucky people inhabiting the greatest place on Earth.

So why do you think it's a great idea to wear the Texan uniforms? What is great about it? [BTW, the Donks originated in Denver, so it's not really the same argument.]

I think wearing throwback uniforms is a great way to celebrate 50 years, but there is no point in wearing '60s Chiefs uniforms since they are essentially the same as now. And at least we don't have to wear the ugly brown and yellow that Denver has to wear.

Maybe there is a point in wearing the only marginally different 60's uniforms. As in, "Hey, we didn't have to jack with with our uniforms over the years because they're inherently classy and timeless." [Unlike the Donks.] What's wrong with that? Maybe you add AFL patches and/or something to honor Lamar, as they did after he died.

Whatever. You have your opinion and I have mine. Hopefully, we'll be talking about a Chiefs' playoff victory next January.
