The Kansas City Chiefs are breaking out a fan-favorite uniform color combination for their Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers. The decision to do so will pay homage to the uniforms worn in Super Bowl I.
For the second time this season, the Chiefs are slated to wear their white-on-white uniform combination. They last wore this color combo in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings.
The team teased that they'd be wearing this specific uniform for "Sunday Night Football" against the Packers on the social media app formerly known as Twitter.
A Super Bowl I uniform rematch
Assuming that the Packers are opting to wear their home uniform combination with the green jersey and yellow pants, this uniform matchup would be the same one from Super Bowl I.
The Chiefs, of course, lost that game, which was the predominant reason the team didn't wear the white-on-white uniform combination for over 20 years. Former Chiefs HC Hank Stram was a little superstitious and refused to have his team wear that combo. It wasn't until 1989 that Marty Schottenheimer resurrected the look.
They’ve now worn this combination five different times during the Patrick Mahomes era (Rams 2018, Raiders 2021, Chargers 2021, Chargers 2022, and Vikings 2023). Each of those four times Kansas City has scored no fewer than 27 points on offense.
Only one alternate uniform opportunity remains
The Chiefs will only be able to wear an alternate uniform one more time this season. NFL teams are only permitted to wear alternate uniforms three times in a given season. They've worn the white-on-white combination twice this year, but they've yet to wear their red-on-red alternates. We'll see if they decide to bust those out in the final five weeks of the 2023 NFL season.
