Today is Red Friday in Kansas City, when everyone in town is supposed to wear red to show support for the Chiefs.
But, perhaps, we should....STOP WEARING RED.
I know, I know. You think I'm talking nonsense. But listen....
Sixteen years ago, the tradition started. Wear Red on the Friday before the home opener.
Sixteen years we've been doing this. A sea of red across this great city. All to show we have faith in our team. That we are fans who want a season to end with a playoff win.
But, according to Jack Harry, the Chiefs haven't won a playoff since the very year Red Friday started. NOT ONE! They did, however, win the year before Red Friday began.
Perhaps - and I'm just throwing this out there...
Perhaps we ought to change up the tradition. Might be worth a shot. At this point, I'm willing to walk around with orange peels in my shoes, spitting off every bridge I come to. As for changing up Red Friday, what could we do? Wear a different color? Drop it all together? What do ya think?
If you'd like to try out different colors, give this a shot.
