The Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL were originally the Dallas Texans of the AFL. Prior to the team’s inaugural season in 1960, Owner Lamar hunt intended on using Columbia Blue as its primary color. However, in a 1959 owners meeting on team colors, Bud Adams spoke up first and secured the color for his Houston Oilers. Left without his first choice, Hunt landed on the red and gold color scheme that would become synonymous with the Chief’s brand. To this day, the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City transforms into a sea of red and gold on game day. Consider using Sherwin Williams Kansas City Chiefs colors for a room or home decorating update.
The Chiefs won three AFL championships in the 1960s, becoming the team with the most championships in the short-lived AFL. They also won their first Super Bowl when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7, in 1970. In 1972, the Kansas City Chiefs moved into their current home, Arrowhead Stadium, which is considered one of the best stadiums in the world because of its acoustics and sleek seating design.
In the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chiefs drafted quarterback Patrick Mahomes with the 10th pick. They clinched their second Super Bowl title in 2020 after defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20. They won again in 2023 by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, and they earned their fourth title in 2024 defeating the 49ers 25-22 in Las Vegas.
