In 2016 KC wore the most different uniform combinations, six, if you count the variations in socks:

The first time they wore red over red in 2013, they had slightly different socks (more white) compared to when they wore it in future years:

My rankings of those seven looks:

(1) White jersey / red pants / white socks

(2) Red jersey / white pants / red socks

(3-5) Red jersey / red pants / more red in the socks is better (all red in the color rush games vs. Oakland > some red in our "normal" red over red look > all white socks against Dallas in 2013)

...gap...

(6) White jersey / white pants / red socks (2018 MNF vs. Rams, also closer to their Dallas Texans throwback look)

...Grand Canyon gap...

(7) White jersey / white pants / white socks (Marty era)

Honestly the standard home and road and the various red/red combos all look pretty great to me, I could be talked into mixing up the orders I gave above.  Only combo I don't love is the white over white, but red socks help.

The team never wore red jerseys over red pants until the Reid era.  Mandela Effect on your part?

Not sure.  One thing I am sure about, I loathed the white on white when Montana was here.  
 

maybe it was the full red socks of the vermeil era I’m thinking of?

Here's an overview of our entire uniform history:
http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=teams&team_id=KC

1989-1999 we only wore red over white or white over white.  Mostly red socks with the red / white and white socks with the white / white, some rare exceptions.

Red pants, which hadn't been seen since 1988, were re-introduced in 2000 under Gunther, and white / red was our main road uniform under Vermeil (no white / white).

White / white came back with Herm, mixed with white / red.  It's stayed that way since, including through Haley and Crennel, but white / white has been rarer under Reid.

Here's an article from 2018 on all the times they had worn red / red to that point.  Started in 2013:
