    Default Some fantasy Chiefs uniforms for Madden

    Yeah, I know the traditionalists will hate these. With Nike taking over the NFL contract next month I cranked out some Pro Combat-inspired uniforms for use in Madden.

    Not to bad but you have to keep the red helmets and I don't really like the all black too many teams are going all black especially college.

    You're kidding right? There is also no white in there either but it's an "accepted" color. If not, I haven't heard such an asinine comment in quite awhile.

    The Chiefs have used a four color palette of red, gold, black and white since day one. Their main logo, their "face to the world", is primarily consisted of white and black with just a few red characters. No gold at all. When your primary logo consists of nearly 2/3rds of a pair of colors they are no longer some arbitrary accent. If anything, gold is the color of those four that is most often optioned out. That is simply because it is not necessary to produce the teams main logo.

    When you go into a store or online searching for Chiefs gear red is the predominant color in everything. Next up you'll find a whole slew of white, black and grey (tonal variations on the previous two) t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, etc. It is quite the rare instance you can find anything in which gold is the dominant color.

    You look at the Chiefs homepage, this website, and nearly every form of media the team produces and it is more often than not centered around the theme of red, white and black. Gold may or may not be involved at all.

    To say that black or white does not constitute a "Chiefs" color would be ignorant and short-sighted.

    Again, I said right off the bat that the traditionalists would not like my designs. I won't lose any sleep.

    Unlike several NFL franchises, the Chiefs' uniform design has essentially remained the same throughout the club's history.[1] It consists of a red helmet, and either red or white jerseys with the opposite color numbers and names.[1] White pants were used with both jerseys from 1960–1967 and 1989–1999.[1] After a brief disappearance, the Chiefs re-introduced the all-white uniform combinations for the 2006 season.
    Although many NFL teams in recent years have worn their dark jerseys with their dark pants, the Chiefs have to yet to unveil an all-red combination. When the Chiefs wear their red uniforms, they always wear white pants. The Chiefs have never worn an alternate jersey in a game, although gold jerseys with red numbers trimmed in white, and black jerseys with red numbers trimmed in gold, are sold for retail.
    The white jersey–red pants combination was not used between 1989 and 1999, primarily during the period when Marty Schottenheimer was the team's head coach. In 2006, under new head coach Herman Edwards, the Chiefs wore white uniforms with white pants at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.
    Following Lamar Hunt's death on December 13, 2006, the Chiefs wore the all-white combination for road games against the San Diego Chargers on December 17 and Oakland Raiders on December 23. It is said the all-white combination was a tribute to Hunt, who reportedly favored the all-white uniforms. The team wore the all-white combination in their playoff game versus the Indianapolis Colts. The team did not wear the all-white combination during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.


    And please don't refer to my opinion as asinine, white is not considered a true color rather the absence of color. black is a combination of colors yellow red and blue. although to be perfectly accurate black also is considered a hue and not a true color. asinine or not!

    I'm aware of the history of their uniform combinations as I've read that wiki before.

    I happen to be of the opinion that a change in uniforms is not necessarily a bad thing. Denver changed their uniforms and won two Super Bowls. The Patriots did also and have created a dynasty. If you look at the participants in the Super Bowl for the last decade the majority have made revisions in their uniforms in recent history. It's like buying a new suit before a big presentation, it's a shot of confidence, of shaking the past or a new way of thinking. The Chiefs haven't been to the Super Bowl in nearly 4 decades, maybe it's time to buy that new suit.

    the falcons fans might disagree.

    talent, hard work, and a little luck wins championships not uniforms. the thing about a tradition is exactly that it is a tradition. when you change it you end it and you usually can't get it back.

    "I hate the old Model Ts. I hate them stock, I hate them hot-rodded. I think they're one of the fugliest cars to ever hit the road. I hate the fact that they came in any color as long as it was black. And on top of that, Henry Ford was a iron-fisted maniac who was infatuated with speeding everything up.

    And because of that I hate every car ever made that was painted black."

    I expected it but still shake my head every time that lame-azz Raiders-use-it reasoning is thrown out there.

    The Steelers and Saints don't look like the Raiders. Neither do the Ravens, Eagles or Panthers when they wear their black alternates. Nearly every team in the NFL that doesn't have a very dark signature color uses black to some degree. Nearly every team in sports that doesn't have a dark signature color uses black. They don't look like the Raiders because of it.
