Chiefs Red Socks - Page 2

What did you think? Should the Chiefs incorporate all red socks next year or keep the old red/yellow/white stripped socks?

Personally, I thought the red socks were awesome.

This.... Somebody write him a damn letter.

This.

The socks looked cool. My wife really liked them as well. It's a small change that made a huge difference.

Also, where was Hunt crying about modifying the uniforms with pink for Breast Cancer Awareness?? That changed his 'classic' look. I understand there's a difference between BCA and the red socks, but don't act like you're so opposed to changes when, really, you're not.

We need to start a "wear the Red Socks" petition.

And it's not that I hate the yellow on our uniforms, but it was just nice to see a change, and our red is gorgeous anyways. Not a bland boring red like the Bucs or some shit.

Yes, they will be fined. Probably $5-10K each.

Seriously though, Clark, they are red socks. Simple change that really stuck out. Since the NFL is going to fine your boys, you could at least support their decision to wear them.

My guess is that Clark honestly thinks most fans would hate a change to the uniforms. He may be right. This one wouldn't.

Socks? I didn't even notice. Gaz.

yea, because those two examples of modifying the uniform are comparable.

I'm going to have to speak with Todd about the socks and have him talk with the players about it". He seriously said something along those lines. For me, it took a little bit of the high away from the win last night (Hunt making that statement).

FWIW, I loved the red socks.

Clarkie, pull that corncob out of your stiff, rich ass.

So Hunt has a sentimental attachment to the traditional look... it's understandable.

I sort of feel the same attachment.

However, if a player wants to swag surf on Monday night and take a fine, screw it. NBD

Either you're against changing them or not.

I don't think anyone is suggesting a permanent change here. But maybe wearing an alternate look a few games a years wouldn't be such a bad thing
