1974 Chiefs Socks
I stumbled across this image from a 1974 Chiefs vs Chargers game. Chiefs are wearing a 5 stripe sock sock pattern (red-yellow-red-yellow-red). Images from other 1974 games show them wearing the standard 3 stripe pattern.

Any chance we can find another pick of this game to see if any other Chiefs besides Emmitt Thomas were wearing the same pattern?

I think getty messed up the caption on this one. This is likely from 1977 instead of 1974. Chiefs wore this sock pattern in 1977 and Thomas was still with KC and McDonald was playing for SD in '77.

Yep. Tim's right...again. In 1974-76 the Chargers wore solid blue socks. These ones are striped which jives with 1977 Chargers.

Shoot--sorry for the false alarm! I've noticed that Getty has had the wrong dates on other photos--don't know why I trusted them on this one...

mplund,
No worries. We thank you for your interest.
getty may get dates messed up from time to time. Still, short of the actual newspapers, it's one of the most valuable resources for our research, especially in the more recent years. Bill and I have used gettyimages extensively and we will continue to do so.

Re: 1974 Chiefs Socks
I would like to know what criteria they use that results in so many incorrect dates? "Hey, that looks like mid-70s? Whatdayya think? 1977? 1974? 74 sounds good to me!" That's how we wind up with the picture of the 1933 Championship. Shoddy fact checking.
