The goggles on the team's helmet make the Barnstormers helmet one of the most recognized helmets in AFL history. In a 2008 Yahoo! article, the Barnstormers' helmet was ranked as the 8th best helmet in pro football history. [18] Until 2012, the helmet was gold with black goggles; this was reversed beginning in the 2013 season.
In select games for the 2009 season, the Chiefs—as well as the other founding teams of the American Football League—wore "throwback" uniforms to celebrate the AFL's 50th anniversary and the 1962 Dallas Texans team that won the AFL Championship. [4] A slight change was made to the uniforms when Nike became the supplier of all NFL jerseys.
The NFL shield is on the familiar right side. With the Super Bowl LVII logo added to the helmet, the U.S. flag is being moved from the left to the back center of the helmet.
The uniforms combined elements of the 1960 and 1961-62 uniforms, with navy blue helmets and jerseys, old gold serif numerals and helmet stripes, gold and white shoulder stripes, and gold pants with blue and white stripes on each side. The Jets wore these uniforms once more in December against the Miami Dolphins at Dolphin Stadium. [25]
The 1964 American Football League All-League Team was selected after the 1964 American Football League season by AFL players, the Associated Press (AP), [1] the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), [2] the New York Daily News (NYDN), and United Press International (UPI) [3] to honor the league's top performers at each position.
In the early 20th century, some players wore helmets but they were not mandatory. Later helmets were made of padded leather, and resembled aviators' helmets. The helmet slowly began to take more of the appearance we recognize today when around 1915 more padding and flaps were added with ear holes for better on-field communication.
