Why the Chiefs wear an ‘A’ patch on their Super Bowl uniforms, explained

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will wear special patches for the 2025 Super Bowl on their uniforms, but if you’re here, you may have noticed there’s a giant “A” on the front of the Chiefs’ uniforms.

What’s up with that? Glad you asked! You’ve come to the right place.

They’re a tribute to the American Football League, which the Kansas City Chiefs were a part of before the AFL merged with the NFL. And the AFL was founded by Lamar Hunt, who was the owner of the Chiefs until he died in 2006.

So the “A” is the AFL symbol that’s also a Lamar Hunt tribute. There you have it!
