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.

From the Chiefs:
Chiefs to Unveil "Throwback" AFL Uniforms in 2009

Mar 24, 2009, 2:38:00 PM

The National Football League has officially granted permission to the Kansas City Chiefs to wear replicas of their original uniforms and helmets from the club’s ‘62 AFL Championship season during three select games this season. The Chiefs, originally founded as the Dallas Texans, will wear their “throwbacks” along with the seven original American Football League members as the franchises join to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt’s creation of the AFL.

The Chiefs “throwback” look will feature helmets with gray facemasks and a Texas-shaped decal with a gold star showing the location of the city of Dallas. Jerseys for the club’s “throwback” games will include a pair of patches that honor both the Chiefs 50th anniversary and the AFL’s 50th anniversary. Kansas City will don these replica uniforms when they host the Dallas Cowboys at Arrowhead Stadium and against two AFC West opponents yet to be determined (one home date and one away date).

In addition, the NFL will honor the AFL’s 50th birthday on its 2009 Kickoff Weekend with a Monday Night Football (9/14) doubleheader featuring club’s from the AFL’s first season. The first game will send Buffalo to visit New England and the MNF nightcap will be an AFC West battle with Oakland hosting San Diego. The Chiefs are also scheduled to unveil a 50th anniversary logo and host a series of events throughout the year to commemorate the franchise’s 50th anniversary.

Mr. Krab · 03-24-2009, 02:15 PM

We are actually gonna have a picture of TEXAS on our uniforms while playing against a team from Texas. Just irritating as hell.

"Hey everybody, it's promote Texas day at Arrowhead!! Buy your free Texas memorabilia at the nearest vendor. All proceeds will go to feed the homeless down in Houston."

WTF is the problem? They weren't the Chiefs in 1959.

Hammock Parties · 03-24-2009, 02:18 PM

The Chiefs were founded on Texas oil money.

Just remember that.
