Kansas City Chiefs Wordmark Logo

kansas-city-chiefs-primary-logo

Kansas City Chiefs

1972 - Present

The interlocked initials “KC” are in red with a black drop shadow on a white arrowhead trimmed in black.

Slightly changed the letter C.

The Chiefs logo is an arrowhead design originally sketched by Lamar Hunt on a napkin on a flight from Dallas to Kansas City. Hunt’s sketches on a napkin began with an interlocking “KC” inside a circle or an oval. Hunt inspired the interlocking “KC” design with the “SF” inside of an oval on the San Francisco 49ers helmets. Unlike the 49ers’ logo, Kansas City’s overlapping initials appear inside a white arrowhead instead of an oval, surrounded by a thick, chipped-looking black border.

Chiefs Wordmark Logo

The Kansas City Chiefs wordmark logo has been a staple of the NFL since its inception in 1960. The original logo featured an arrowhead with a white background and red lettering, designed by Lamar Hunt's wife, Norma. It was meant to represent the speed and power of the team as well as its Native American roots.

Over time, this iconic design has undergone several modifications while maintaining its core elements: an arrowhead shape with white background and red lettering. In 1963, it was changed to include yellow accents on both sides of the arrowhead for added contrast; in 1970, it became more extensive and more detailed; in 1989, it underwent another minor update with sharper edges around the outline; finally, in 2009-2010, the season saw yet another change when they introduced their current version that includes black outlines around each letter for even greater emphasis on detail, particularly in relation to the Kansas City Chiefs Primary logo!

Today’s Kansas City Chiefs wordmark Logo is widely recognized throughout sports fandom worldwide – not just within football - due to its classic design that stands out from other logos across all sports leagues thanks to its unique combination of colors and sharp lines used throughout every iteration over almost sixty years! This timeless mark is one of the most recognizable symbols associated with professional football today!
