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. ![]() |

Yep, very nice. But where I live now we have this, and the water is warm enough to get in:

I think the helments will look pretty good! It would be nice to get an autoghraph on one of them. People just need to lighten up. I thought Keitzman was going to have a meltdown today. Did anyone sign his petition!

Let's all be aware that the NFL (in my view) is honoring the AFL Origins.
And besides, it's just only three games.

This may be the most ignorant attitude ever voiced on this BB...A monumental achievement. You do get, don't you, that the unis are being worn to honor the origins of the team, not to honor the state of Texas? Is that distinction too fine for a mind as coarse as yours? Sweet mercy, I can't believe people as stupid as you manage to walk around outside every day. |

That seals it! Whenever a team changes unis they win. Bucs, Vikes, etc.
It's a done deal! |

Wow.
Just wow. All this over a throwback uniform that's only going to be worn three times. Classic.

![]() I think a much bigger slap in the face to Chiefs fans would be the Missouri silhouette, seeing as how a large portion of the fan base is in Kansas.

I'm not a huge fan of this.
But it doesn't make me sick to my stomach like the day I walke dinto Arrowhead and saw the team wearing those Godawful white on white unis a couple of seasons ago. |

I'm not too bent about this. The goal is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the AFL. The Chiefs were not founded in KC, they were founded in Dallas. So, if all the teams are going to wear uni's from their first AFL season, this makes sense. The Tennessee Titans are going to wear Houston Oilers gear, and the Jets are going to wear New York Titans Gear, so go figure.
Here's a very cool website that has helmets over the history of the NFL and AFL. I really like the old Washington Redskins Maroon Helmets with the spear. Florida State totally ripped that off: http://www.instantreplaysportcard.co...elmets/nfl.htm |
