The Kansas City Chiefs, a professional American football franchise from the National Football League, are known for their unique "KC" arrowhead logo and red and white uniforms—both almost unchanged since the franchise's relocation in 1963. From 1960 to 1962, the team was known as the Dallas Texans and had very similar team logos and uniforms. ==Logos== When the Texans began playing in 1960, the team's logo consisted of the state of Texas in white with a yellow star marking the location of the city of Dallas. Originally, Hunt chose Columbia Blue and Orange for the Texans' uniforms, but Bud Adams chose the colors for his Houston Oilers franchise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.kcchiefs.com/history/uniform/ ) 〕 Hunt reverted to red and gold for the Texans' uniforms, which even after the team relocated to Kansas City, remain as the franchise's colors to this day.〔 The state of Texas on the team's helmet was replaced by a design originally sketched by Lamar Hunt on a napkin.〔 Hunt’s inspiration for the interlocking "KC" design was the "SF" inside of an oval on the San Francisco 49ers helmets.〔 Kansas City’s overlapping initials appear inside a white arrowhead instead of an oval and are surrounded by a thin black outline.〔 From 1960 to 1973, the Chiefs had grey facemask bars on their helmets, but changed to white bars for 1974.〔 Prior to the inaugural American Football League season in 1960, Hunt’s Texans were represented by a whirling, spur-clad, 10-gallon-hat-wearing character that was featured on various promotional items. The logo eventually gave way to a more polished football-toting gunslinger set over the state of Texas, a design created by Bob Taylor, a cartoonist for the now-defunct ''Dallas Times Herald''. Although never part of the club’s uniform, Taylor’s updated Texans logo adorned everything from the club’s stationery to the billboard outside the team’s offices. When the franchise moved in 1963, Taylor was commissioned to produce a new logo that remained strikingly similar to his original incarnation. Taylor’s new rendition featured a Native American figure running with the same stride and holding the pigskin in the same manner as the gunslinger with the states of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa and Arkansas serving as his backdrop. This logo was utilized prominently during the 1960s and was affixed to the club’s Swope Park headquarters on 63rd Street before the club moved to Arrowhead Stadium in 1972. The logo, embedded in the grass, still remains off the highway to this day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logos and uniforms of the Kansas City Chiefs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
