Classic Team Logo of The Day

18 Jan

With the AFC championship game coming up this weekend, the featured logo today is the logo of the last team to win the championship of the old American Football League before it merged with the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were one of the most progressive franchises in the old AFL, behind coach Hank Stram, and were aggressive in pursuing black players from small colleges – players who helped them become a solid club. The Chiefs faced tragedy twice in their AFL years, as players Stone Johnson (in 1963) and Mack Lee Hill (in 1965) died after suffering injuries. The club finished the AFL decade on a high, though, winning the league’s final championship, then stunning the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.
