KC Streetcar: Hail to The Chiefs! (Updated)
KC Streetcar no. 805 has been adorned with a Kansas City Chiefs-inspired vehicle wrap since the beginning of the 2019-2020 NFL season.
On Feb. 2, the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl after a 50-year drought and won the Vince Lombardi Trophy, coming back in the fourth quarter to defeat the five-time champion San Francisco 49ers 31-20. The Chiefs, three years after their 35-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl I on Jan. 15, 1967, defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV, Jan. 11, 1970. Fifty years later, the AFC champion Chiefs not only brought home the Super Bowl LIV title, but made extra special the effort put forth by the Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) to honor and support the team.
Throughout the 2019/2020 NFL football season, KC Streetcar has been operating a Chiefs-branded LRV, no. 805, one of seven CAF USA-built Urbos 3 vehicles. In honor of their first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years, 805’s interior has been equipped with red lighting. The exterior graphics and interior lighting effects are made possible through a collaboration of the KCSA, the Kansas City Chiefs and Signco, a Kansas City-based commercial signage company that specializes in vehicle wraps, among many other products and services.
