Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys

The Kansas City Chiefs are based in Kansas City, Missouri and play in the Western Division of the AFC (American Football Conference). The team was originally called the Dallas Texans in 1960 and was charter members of the American Football League. The team moved in 1963 to Kansas City, Missouri and was renamed to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The team won three league championships and has an all time AFL record of 92-50-5. With their three championship wins coming in 1962, 1966 and 1969, the team was the second AFL team to beat a National Football League franchise the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV. Unfortunately, this win is the teams' last championship win to date. In 2008, the Chiefs started out with the youngest team in the National Football League, with their starting line averaging age 25. With Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert, the team selections were the best of the entire draft. An injured quarterback, Brodie Croyle, had to be replaced after the first game by Damon Huard and then Tyler Thigpen. However, after some disappointments on the field, Damon Huard became the starting quarterback. 2008 ended as the teams' worst record, a dismal 2-14 record. Year 2009 is looking good with new acquired Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel.

The Red and Gold

The red and gold colors of the Kansas City Chiefs have been around since the beginning. The team helmet originally consisted of a logo made up of the state of Texas in white with a yellow star marking Dallas. The state logo was replaced with an arrowhead design with "KC" appearing inside the arrowhead, surrounded by a thin black outline. The team wears a red helmet, a red or white jersey depending on whether they play at home or away, and red or white numbers and names. White pants are worn with both jerseys.

In 2007, the Kansas City Chiefs added a patch to honor Lamar Hunt and the AFL. The patch consists of the AFL's logo from back in the 60 and includes Hunt's "LH" initials inside the football. In 2008, the patch became a permanent fixture on the left chest of both away and home jerseys. Throwback uniforms are to be worn by AFL founding teams in select games in 2009 in honor of the AFL's 50th anniversary and the Kansas City Chiefs who won the championship in 1962 as the Dallas Texans.

The Chiefs have one of the most loyal fans in the NFL. It is remarkable that with Kansas City being the sixth-smallest media market NFL team, they have had the second-highest ticket sales to their games. With an average of 77,300 fans per game since 1996, the official fan club is called Chiefs Nation which has many perks such as VIP treatment and other ticket priority benefits. Notably, at the end of the national anthem the Chief fans, at home games, will yell "and the home of the CHIEFS!" in place of the words "and the home of the brave".
