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.

The more I think about it, I agree. I have no problem with throwback stuff, but this is like throwing back to a time before we used toilet paper to wipe our asses. **** Texas.

I have respect but that doesn't mean I think TX should be on our uni's

The Chiefs wouldn't be "our" team right now if they hadn't worn that Texas helmet back in the day. It's where they came from. Respecting that doesn't mean you're taking a shit on the Arrowhead symbol.

The Kansas City Texans! You cotton-headed ninny muggins.

So we are going to have a game at Arrowhead with the teams both wearing Texan uniforms?

Jethopper · 03-24-2009, 01:16 PM

Claythan..... Epic Fail.

Cool - that'll be neat.

I really don't see the problem. The team was founded in Texas. Just a part of the 50th anniversary deal. And it's only a couple of games.

Negitive. I don't want a Texans throwback jersey. I want a Chiefs throwback.
