The Kansas City Chiefs continue to wear their classic red-and-gold uniforms, resisting updates popularized by other NFL teams. While some teams experiment with alternate kits, such as the Buffalo Bills' new gray uniforms, the Chiefs have only made minor alterations since their inception. Their last significant uniform change occurred in 2009, marking the franchise’s 50th anniversary.
