Hit List #2 - 1970 Kansas City Chiefs (need 1 more)

In 1970, the Kansas City Chiefs wore 2 sets of both their red jerseys and their white jerseys...


White jerseys worn...
Week 1 - 9/20 @ MINNESOTA - white mesh (BDSullivan)
Week 2 - 9/28 @ BALTIMORE (Mon. Nt.) - white mesh (Bill)
Week 3 - 10/4 @ DENVER - white mesh (Bill)
Week 9 - 11/15 @ PITTSBURGH - white durene (Bill)
Week 13 - 12/12 @ OAKLAND (Sat.) - white mesh (Mako)
Week 14 - 12/20 @ SAN DIEGO

Red jerseys worn...
Week 4 - 10/11 home vs BOSTON - red mesh (Bill)
Week 5 - 10/18 @ CINCINNATI - red durene (BDSullivan)
Week 6 - 10/25 home vs DALLAS - red mesh (BDSullivan)
Week 7 - 11/1 home vs OAKLAND - red mesh (Mako)
Week 8 - 11/8 home vs HOUSTON - red mesh (BDSullivan)
Week 10 - 11/22 home vs ST. LOUIS - red durene (BDSullivan)
Week 11 - 11/29 home vs SAN DIEGO - red durene (BDSullivan)
Week 12 - 12/6 home vs DENVER - red durene (BDSullivan)


We need help pinpointing which games wore the mesh and which wore the durene. What can our guys at the GUD-verse dig up?

week 7 vs Raiders - mesh?

I agree!

Somehow missed these on Getty...

Definitely white durene.

And...
Week 2 @ Baltimore

Definitely white mesh.

week 13 at Raiders - can't say

I'd say white mesh. The letters are pretty tall and seems to be a thicker outline on the numbers than in the white durene photo of Willie Lanier above.

Week 1 @ Minnesota--Presumably White Mesh:

Week 6 vs. Dallas--Not Sure (go to this shaky video at just after 8 min. mark)

Week 1 at Minnesota was definitely mesh. The Vikes themselves wore the purple stripeless mesh in this one.

I'd say Week 6 was red mesh, too.
Gametime temp was 64 degrees.
This screen grab seems to show large/tall letters on the nearest Chief and the one in the background seems to have fairly smallish chest numbers.

Week 5 (10/18) vs. Cincinnati: Red Mesh?

Week 8 (11/ vs. Houston: Red ?

Week 10 (11/22) vs. St. Louis: Red ?

Week 11 (11/29) vs. San Diego: Red Durene?

Week 12 (12/6) vs. Denver: Red ?

Week 5 - too hard to tell
Week 8 - I'm calling red mesh
Week 10,11,12 - I'm calling all three red durene

Needed a bump.

Another lousy picture (of the 10/18 Cincinnati game)--Pg. 7 of 14:

The Week 9 game in Pittsburgh was 45 degrees and KC was clearly wearing durene.
The game against Cincy was a month earlier in almost identical conditions - 49 degrees.

The bottom image doesn't seem to show the short, squattiness of the typical mesh numbers.
This definitely looks to be red durene.
Good find!

Super close-up of Leeny D in a white mesh!

Given the 57 degree temp at kickoff and the short stature of the torso numbers, I'm calling this mesh but reserve the right to change my mind if a better shot is found

Needed a bump.
Sorry guys
