As the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs will be on national display throughout the 2024 season.
The “A” patch isn’t new by any means as the Chiefs have sported it since the 2007 season. The patch sits on their left chest just above the players’ numbers.
What does the “A” on Chiefs uniforms stand for?
The patches are worn to honor the late Lamar Hunt, who founded the American Football League in 1960. From there, the AFL merged with the NFL in 1970 to make the league we know today. Hunt’s legacy sits within the Chiefs organization, too, as he brought the team to Kansas City in 1963. He originally owned the Dallas Texans starting in 1960, but then decided to move the team. He stayed with the Chiefs organization until his death.
The design of the patch mimics the original AFL logo. The giant “A” is surrounded by six stars and an eagle lies behind the letter, just as the original logo had. But, in the first logo, the letters AFL were shown in the. football below the “A,” but the Chiefs changed it to “LH” to stand for Lamar Hunt.

The Chiefs also chose to create a similar logo to the AFL’s to pay homage to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl IV win, which was the last Super Bowl played before the merger.
