Chiefs, Raiders To Wear Traditional Home, Road Uniforms On Monday Night Football

The Oakland/Los Angeles/Las Vegas Raiders have played 60 games in Kansas City since 1963, when the Dallas Texans relocated and became the Chiefs.

Only five of those matchups have featured the Raiders in something other than white jerseys with black numbers and silver helmets and pants against the Chiefs in something other than their standard red helmets, red jerseys and white pants.

That includes the 1964, 1970 and 1994 seasons, when the Raiders wore silver numbers outlined in black on their white jerseys, as well as 1980, when Chiefs wore red helmets, white jerseys and red pants at home for the entire season, forcing the Raiders to wear black jerseys on the road.

The only other instance was the 2016 season, when both teams wore their Color Rush uniforms, with the Raiders in silver helmets, white jerseys with silver numbers outlined in black and white pants and the Chiefs in red helmets, red jerseys and red pants.

The Chiefs are 32-23 in games played in Kansas City when both teams wear their standard home and road uniforms, which will happen again this evening on Monday Night Football (8:15 p.m. on ESPN), while the Raiders are 0-3-1 in silver numbers and 1-0 in black jerseys in Kansas City.

The Chiefs have a 35-24-1 overall advantage at home against the Raiders, a mark that includes three games in which both teams’ helmets were painted at midfield (1969-71), going 1-1-1 in those contests.

Tonight’s design, meanwhile, reverts back to the Chiefs’ usual field design after paying homage to the original Arrowhead Stadium artwork in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
