New Uniforms For The Kansas City Chiefs? UPDATE

by Chiefs

Got word that these uniforms are not actually created by Nike but were done by an armature for fun. Still cool to talk about though.

As you may or may not know, Rebok currently has the license to make all NFL uniforms, however recently it was announced that in 2012, Nike would be taking over the job.

There are some pictures floating around out there that are supposed to be prototypes of Nike’s Pro Combat NFL Uniforms. These are a sort of alternate uniform that Nike has done for college football. I haven’t been able to find anything official that these renderings are indeed created by Nike but their quality would seem to suggest they are the real deal. There is also no information, that I was able to find, that the NFL teams will definitely wear these uniforms at any point in 2012.

That being said, I have photos of the two Chiefs uniforms after the jump.


What do you think?

I really like the top one and I especially dig the gold helmet.

I don’t like the second uniform at all but I kind of like the alternate helmet.

[...] to produce in 2012. Thanks to a post in The Baltimore Sun’s forum, there’s been a lot of reaction, and the question is, are folks reacting to Nike’s work or the work of some [...]

I like both uniforms one could be for home games and the other could be for road games. The color's appear to a little off. They need to stay with KC real colors, not the candy apple red and gold they are showing. Stay with Current Chiefs Red and Yellow. The helmet with the feathers would look better with a black helmet. I think the feathers would really pop!!

The second one would be sick if the helmet was red instead of white, and they took the feathers off the shoulders of the jersey. Less is more.

second uniform looks good w the feathers

I don't like the yellow either. They would need to focus more on the red. Throw in a little gray/silver and that would be fine. I agree that the feathered helmet is cool as well, but it needs the KC arrowhead right in front. That would look like a legit head dress. We do need new uni's.

I don't think gold is the Chiefs colors; I believe its red and white; so forget about the gold. I like the helmet with the feathers; now that kool....

I think the arrowhead on the gold helmet needs to be much larger. Should cover up almost the entire side of the helmet.

Urm I thought they looked amateur: "looks like what some kid would do for a skater game."

Course I would not be so mean as to call the guy an "armature" :)

Don't care for either. I like the classic uniforms. Good work, but not into them. A little to arena football looking.

not a big fan of uniform changes. chiefs uniforms r classic and need to stay. honestly i hope we have them forever. u should only changes unis wen necessary. like the broncos....god theyr uniforms were ugly back in the day!

Yes...as we said in the article. See the part in RED

i cant read words in red. i only read words in black, blue, and every other color that isnt red.

the second uni is actually the washington redskins concept

The Chiefs have always had one of the classiest uniforms in the NFL. Why would they want to change - especially to either of those god-awful suits shown above? Whenever I see some of the newer uniforms adopted by other teams I think that even when the Chiefs are losing they at least look good. There is something about the uncluttered look of the red and white Chiefs' uniforms that makes them look like winners.

good start to something new but not it ...needs more red and more black with gold ...2nd helmet would be cool red with and arrowhead ...just needs more red!!!

Other than the shade of red, the second one appears to be more for Redskins. Having an alternate uniform like the first one would make sense... more sense than the Chiefs/Texans throwbacks.

I take pride in the fact that we are one of the only teams that have basically stuck with the same uniform since the organization began.

1st one is good, but the 2nd is bad

I've always wondered about those black Chiefs jerseys with the Red numbering and lettering that I see fans wear. I would like to see those with red pants, and a black helmet but keep the Arrowhead as is. THAT would be sick!!!!

I love the first uniform. It wouldn't hurt to make a dramatic change. The second one though does not look good! Looks like a Power Ranger

I kind of like the idea of having feathers somewhere on the helmet but #2 is way overdone. Like maybe instead going with the standard arrowhead but have that stylized with the arrow shaft ending with feathers at the back? 'course graphic design is not really my thing . . .

The Kansas City Chiefs are an ORIGINAL team from the AFL and should leave the uniforms alone to reflect such!!! And BRING BACK THE RED PANTS ON THE ROAD!!!

Our current home uniforms are my favorites and I agree to bring back the red pants on the road.

I like both of these alot!! i have thought for quite some time now that the chiefs need new uniforms - i hate saying this but im not a huge fan of what we have now they are quite plain... and havent been changed since when? when they moved to kc

I don't like them at all. Half of the reason why I became a chiefs fan was because when I was really young I thought they're unifroms were amazing i really don't think they should change them.

Love the top uni, but could go without the gold helmet. I've always thought we should have a headdress for our helmet, so I really like that. We should meld the two to make a good alternate, but Merlin has a point, we do have good classic unis.

TOTALLY AWESOME! I like both of them. Change is due. New Stadium... We need a new uniform. Love the second helment but like everyone else, We need an Arrowhead on it. Maybe on the uniform also.

These remind me of the uniforms from the BLITZ video games and my team named the Iowa Native..I do like the first one but I'm not sold on the second one..but its the Chiefs so I will love to see it on the field

This is absolutely disgusting, I love our uniforms, I would never want them to be changed. This makes the NFL look like a league of fantasy warriors with magic powers. I say if this uniform starts to gain support we should make a petition, I don't want to go to Arrowhead dressed like that.

I say stick with tradition

Indeed and bring back the RED pants with the white jerseys on the road!!!!

they are worse than terrible

These uniforms are terrible!!!

NO, no, no , no. We should copy what the Arizona Cardinals have done to their uniforms. That would be a change but nothing too drastic. It would definately get rid of the "Ronals McDonald" look.

If the Chiefs pick the second helmet, Haley could give out game feathers for outstanding plays.

I'm glad I wasn't the first person to write a comment. Those are the ugliest uniforms and helmets. The first one might be tolerable, but the second one is horrible.

I love the chiefs uniforms the way they are, but an alternate might not be that bad. One they wear maybe a few times a year. That way you can market the new stuff for the dollas, but keep the classic chiefs uniforms for 14 games. As far as the two up top I like the first helmet and the second uniform is horrible altogether, like some college unis.

I like the idea of getting our secondary color a bit more space. All red or white with just a touch of yellow has always seemed awkward. As much as I hate to admit I love the Donk's use of bright colors, makes the players easier to see on the field. It's a fun idea to at least toss around on a Friday as we await the next game!

I like the idea of something new but neither gets my vote

They are cool to look at as a curiosity but don't put them on my Chiefs!

Just one word.....FUGLY

Terrible. Both of them. I didn't know we were the Kansas City Seminoles or the Oregon Chiefs? These are exact copies of both colleges.

Just Say NO Clarke!!!

The top one reminds me of Iowa States old McDonald uniforms. The thing that bugs me most about them is the lack of an arrowhead (save the top helmet). That being said I do think the helmets are pretty cool.
