The Kansas City Chiefs are breaking out a fan-favorite uniform color combination for their Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Chiefs love their classic attire, but they stray from it from time to time. A week after their typical home collar combination popped on "Sunday Night Football" they're making a switch. They'll be wearing an alternate uniform for the first time this season, busting out their white-on-white color combination against the Vikings in Week 5. It's the first time they've worn this color combination since Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers last year.
You can see the team's specialists wearing the combo while warming up in this image from FOX 4 Kansas City's Harold R. Kuntz down below:
The white-on-white look has a mixed history for the franchise. This was the combination that the Chiefs famously wore during their Super Bowl I matchup with the Green Bay Packers. A superstitious Hank Stram went on to ban the white-on-white look after the team lost in that game. For over 20 years the uniform color combination was shelved by the team, but Marty Schottenheimer brought back the look in 1989.
They’ve worn this combination four different times during the Patrick Mahomes era (Rams 2018, Raiders 2021, Chargers 2021, and Chargers 2022). Each of those four times Kansas City has scored no fewer than 30 points on offense. Let’s hope the white-on-white combination paves the way for a bounce-back performance from an offense that struggled at times last week in New York.
NFL teams are only permitted to wear alternate uniforms three times per season, leaving the Chiefs with two more opportunities in 2023.
