Chiefs Superstitions

After Lin Elliot missed that field goal against Indy, I was so upset that I vowed never to wear anything that resembled red, yellow, or gold to another Chiefs game. Aside from the last few years it was working pretty well. They were winning, so I just stuck with it. I might try wearing some Chiefs stuff this year or I might even go as far as wearing the opposing teams colors. Whatever helps our Chiefs get that “W”.

but the only thing that holds true is that I cannot display my chiefs jersey when attending a game. If the weather is warm, we lose every time I go to the game wearing my jersey. If it is cold and I can cover it up with a coat, all is well.

I prefer it when the Chiefs kick-off to start the game. I’d be interested in seeing a stat, but I always feel that the game goes better when the Chiefs start the game on defense.

I don’t think about it much. Before I joined the military and could actually regularly watch games, I always wore a jersey(varied from week to week), usually with a Chief’s T-shirt on underneath. That’s about as far as it went, but we were good back then (90’s and early 00’s). In fact, when I left for bootcamp on ’03, our first loss was the next game.

Since then I haven’t gotten to watch more than two or three games a season usually. We obviously haven’t been very good. I had a few more games this year, but it was generally via a web feed or on 101.1 radio. I actually listened to the Steelers game on headphones while my supervisor was on a video conference. I was just off screen flipping out when Studebaker had his 96-yard interception return.

I think with the win over the Bronco’s I finally established a tradition. A few weeks before I had gotten my DT jersey back from my mom, neither of us had realized she had it since I’ve been unable to wear them for a couple years. I wore that and the T-shirt again (an autographed one), but added a Chief’s hoodie I got for Christmas since it was freezing where I was. Obviously, we had a hell of a game, so that’ll be my wear next year, though perhaps without the hoodie if it’s too warm.

as long as I’m not paying real attention we seem to be winning but when I’m online and watching it every second we’re losing. I only count that for last year because every year prior that didn’t happen.

Love the story about the blanket. My wife and kids won’t let me talk during a close game. Late in the game, I can usually predict what the opposing team will do given the progress of the game. Lately, it has been pretty easy to predict the success of KC against whatever the other team is going to do. So, according to my family, I jinx them talk about what’s about to happen and I am supposed to shut up.

i have to have on chiefs gear to watch the game..
and my moving around the room to watch the tv…

I never flush the toilet during pre-season.
