Like much of history, the transitional periods that rose throughout the Navajo weaving culture led to exciting changes. Colors and styles changed with available wool, saddle blankets became wearing blankets, and later became traditional Navajo rugs. That same transition affected the Teec Nos Pos style in the late 1800s as the class style of Navajo chief blanket weavings gave way to the bold expressions and Eye Dazzling style of the Red Mesa. The Red Mesa designed blankets were the only ones that moved forward into the rug period to become a regional style, all other blanket styles faded away.
