Chiefs to wear throwback uniforms

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.

Ok.

Jerry Jones is way too old to be called a boytoy.

Even after the plastic surgery? Actually, that qualifies as "too much information." Not an image most want to think about.

I hear you. Check it out;

These are a couple of swatches made from the current colors and the old Texans rig:



I like the older one better, but that's just me.

They are most likely going to be putrid, why wouldn't they want to represent Texas. Three games of suck not under the Arrowhead

That I agree with. I prefer gold to yellow that is referred to as gold, but is actually ****ING YELLOW.

Why do you have such an inferiority complex? It is not an insult to Missouri.

Let's see you put YOUR face up for everyone to see, asshole!

Or is that you in your avatar? If it was/is; I wouldn't admit to it!

Those are 49ers colors. I used to like the 49ers, but come on. Have some pride in our Ronald McDonald stylings. We're here and we're queer!

No, 49ers use a darker red. Anyway, who gives a shit? I've never liked the yellow. If they want to call it gold use GOLD. That's the one change I would instantly make to our uniforms were it in my power.

It has nothing to do with an "inferiority complex." (And what do you care? Shouldn't you be hanging out somewhere on Hotel Street this time of day/evening?)

As I said before, the Chiefs were only "Texans" for 3 years. They've been the "Kansas City Chiefs" for over 40. The Chiefs were in the AFL longer than the Texans. The emblem is just a dumb idea.

Now if this whole thing was to honor the ORIGINS of the Chiefs, then you'd have an argument. BUT IT'S NOT: It's to honor the AFL. By doing this, you're telling the city and state that has supported the franchise for these many decades that the ONLY choice for a throwback uni includes a hemet emblem of another state that accounts for a tiny percentage of the franchise's history. I don't get that. We're not talking about the Tennessee Titans and Houston here. Come on now.

Hey, I'm not writing my congressman and I'm more concerned about the Chiefs winning a playoff game. Bit it's the thread topic and I think it's a stupid idea. That's all.
