AFC Team Profile and Analysis: Kansas City Chiefs Team Review

The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. They are members of the American Football Conference (AFC) and compete in the National Football League (NFL) (NFL). Established in 1960 as one of the AFL’s original eight franchises, the Texans’ original home was in Dallas. 1962, 1966, and 1969 Kansas City Chiefs were the first AFL team to win an AFL-NFL World Championship Game, defeating the Minnesota Vikings. The New York Jets were the first AFL team to beat an NFL team in an AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The Chiefs/Texans won 87 games throughout the decade of the AFL’s existence (1960-1969).

In 1960, when the Texans first took the field, their logo featured a white rendition of the Lone Star State with a yellow star atop it to indicate Dallas as the team’s home stadium. While Hunt initially requested orange and blue for the Texans’ uniforms, Bud Adams ultimately settled on blue and scarlet for his Houston Oilers. Even though the Texans now play in Kansas City, the team’s original colours of red and gold have always remained the same.

The Chiefs debuted their first-ever all-red outfit (red jersey and red pants) in their home opener on September 15, 2013, against the Dallas Cowboys. Their all-red uniforms have been so popular that they’ve been utilized several times. Typically, this is when people in the United States watch evening games on television. The Chiefs’ Color Rush uniforms, which are all red, were inspired by this style.
