Red and Gold: A History of the Kansas City Chiefs
By Alex Ishikawa

From AFL outsiders to NFL kings-this is the definitive story of the Kansas City Chiefs.

For over six decades, the Chiefs have captivated fans with unforgettable moments, legendary players, and a culture like no other in sports. Red and Gold takes you on a sweeping journey through the team's remarkable history, from Lamar Hunt's bold gamble in founding the AFL, to Hank Stram's Super Bowl IV champions, through decades of heartbreak and near-misses, to the rise of Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the modern-day dynasty.

Packed with vivid storytelling, this book captures it all:

The early days - How a small-market team took on the NFL establishment and won.

The heartbreak years - From "The Longest Game" to playoff collapses that tested even the most loyal fans.

The legends - Derrick Thomas, Tony Gonzalez, Len Dawson, Travis Kelce, and more.

The rebirth - Martyball, Arrowhead's roar, and the turning point that brought the Kingdom back to glory.

The dynasty era - Mahomes, Reid, and Kelce rewriting NFL history in real time.

More than just a sports book, Red and Gold is a story of resilience, belief, and community. It's about the fans who fill Arrowhead every Sunday, the tailgates that start before dawn, and the shared dream that unites an entire region-and now, the world.

Whether you've been a Chiefs fan for fifty years or you just joined the Kingdom, this is the story of your team. The dream is real. And it wears red and gold.

Kansas City Chiefs fans of all generations
