Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]
Quite simply, whoever designs Chiefs apparel just has the worst taste ever. The font, the styling, the slogans. Awful.
One has to think of what makes the Chiefs special or great. I think it's the history, the "original guard" factor. You don't do that overtly, but conjuring up a fifty year old super bowl. You do that stylistically.
The apparel needs to all feel throwback. Use faded colors (also because that bright red is just toxic on the eyes). The clothes should feel vintage - they can range from a war poster in WWII to a beer ad in the 80s. But play on the history, get rid of that terrible block lettering, and literally tone down the colors.
The "Let's do this!" on the back of the T-shirt above is closer, but seriously "Let's do this?" that's the best we can get?

This is closer:
I don’t know I want this franchise to be forward looking. Chiefs were important in the 1960s by creating the AFL and being a championship team. But we’re pretty irrelevant since 1972
Chiefs best days are ahead of them with Mahomes [Reply]

I get that. I feel like so much of the design, though, stems from the 90s. That's when the team got its modern identity and so much of the apparel designs began. They need to move away from that style HARD. [Reply]

Unless you have some reason to believe he will be over this heel thing and ready to play 16 games at full tilt (absent add'l injury), then you have to cut him. That salary can be put to better use than 17 weeks of 'will he or won't he' from Eric Berry and his sore foot.
I think the question comes down to not whether Berry is worth $20M, but whether he's worth $6M - the amount of cap it clears to cut him.
He's worth that to me, because I don't think he misses a game next year. [Reply]

Ok. I’m not being a fuck here, but why would you think Berry doesn’t miss a game next year? [Reply]
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has taken the NFL world by storm thus far. Breaking records left and right, the second-year pro is on course to possibly make more NFL history in Week 10.
If the young quarterback exceeds 300 passing yards, he will be the first NFL player ever to have nine 300-plus passing yard games in a row, according to the team’s official website. If any quarterback is primed to have at least 300 passing yards this Sunday, it is Mahomes. After all, he is averaging 322 passing yards per game.
Though, we must mention that Mahomes would have to accomplish this against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has given up 300-plus passing yards only twice this season.
Furthermore, Mahomes needs only two more touchdown passes to break his franchise all-time season record of 30 passing touchdowns, set in 1964. This just seems all too easy for Mahomes, who is playing at a superhuman level. [Reply]

Went ahead and got tickets tomorrow to witness history made and not the "no TD passes to a WR for a season" type of history either. [Reply]
