2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the American Football League.
The eight charter AFL franchises (Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders and the Boston/New England Patriots) are wearing anniversary patches on the left front shoulder of their uniform jerseys to commemorate their 50th season.
Common elements of all eight patches: the numbers 50, 1960 and 2009; and the team name and/or logo. The Chiefs patch includes at the top a graphic depiction of Texas, with a star where Dallas is, to honor their heritage as the Dallas Texans (1960-1962). The Titans patch includes at the far right a graphic depiction of an oil well, to honor their heritage as the Houston Oilers (1960-1996) and Tennessee Oilers (1997-1998).
