And I love the vintage feel of a Grey facemask on the right team. The Chiefs, as they are now, are not that team. It just doesn't look right to me. When it DID look right, it was with their Dallas Texans throwback uniforms about 10 years ago. Ironically, Mike Vrabel wore them. The Grey facemask just worked better with the simple Dallas Texans logo, no sleeve stripes, TV numbers on sleeve, minimized Gold number trim, and most importantly, Black footwear & gloves. For some reason, the even more simplified uniform & logo, coupled with the Black cleats & gloves, just made it feel more cohesive, and more of a call back to that vintage era. On their current uniforms now, it looks like they forgot to attach White facemasks and the only other option was Grey. Side note: these photos sure make me appreciate the current Nike jersey even more. These photos make me miss reebok even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 In all seriousness though, the Chiefs switching to a matte helmet wouldn’t be some life altering change I’d have trouble coping with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which team did they rip off? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair about one point - the Philadelphia Eagles started wearing these pants with black trim in 1985. NFL season starts in September. http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=teams-season&team_id=PHI&year=1985 The Roughriders adopted the silver and black trim in 1985 and started wearing this same pant design in 1985. 1985 CFL season started in July. So really, the Saskatchewan Roughriders wore this exact pant design before the Eagles did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 And to be ultra fair...I’m sure the Eagles had no clue and it’s just a sign of the times. Those Eagles pants were probably preordered at the same time the Roughriders placed their order. my official ruling is a PUSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Besides, this was the 80s. Branding and marketing wasn't what it is now back then. Far less egregious than the Jets aping the Roughriders' aesthetic in 2019 PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
