If a Chiefs player removes his helmet and dons a cap on the sideline during the 2023 season, he’ll be making a distinct fashion choice.

That’s because the NFL released sideline caps for the upcoming season, and there are two styles.

One includes the Chiefs logo featured predominately on the front.

The other has the NFL shield and the Chiefs logo sharing space on the front.

Take a look.

Fanatics is selling the caps in the styles shown above, and there also are two-tone versions of both types of hats.

Chiefs fans had a visceral reaction to the one with the NFL and team logos on them. Hate is a strong word, but Chiefs fans really hate them.

Here is what they were saying.
