Arrowhead sign removed from the stadium

[GloryDayz]

Should we fire up the CP machine to hire a plane to 5 o'clock Charlie the sign off of there?

Nope, not worth it IMO. Just support the team.

If GEHA helps us pay Mahomes billions of dollars over the next 20 years then so be it

[BigRedChief]

If GEHA helps us pay Mahomes billions of dollars over the next 20 years then so be itThis has nothing to do with the salary cap or Mahomes. Where that salary cap money comes from, how its used is mandated the same for every team.

This only helps the cash flow of the Hunt family.

It wouldn’t shock me to see them ditch the Arrowhead symbol and redesign the helmet soon

They can still defend the name ‘Chiefs’ because it’s still used in military, fire, police ranks and the business world. (CEO)

I guess I don't get the point of keeping the name Chiefs if you can't associate it with Native American imagery.

What would Chiefs branded merchandise look like, some collage of fire, police, and chief executive officers mean mugging? Just the word Chiefs?

[Dayze]

Chiefs won a SB in my lifetime as the Chiefs.
If they change their name now, so be it.

with Cleveland BB team, and Washington dealing with it.....it's not long before the Chiefs are on-deck for the professional outrage / crusade.

The team was named after H. Roe Bartle, aka The Chief.

I'm not too upset about the sign since I doubt it'll be there forever. How many names has Sandstone had? Even the soccer stadium has changed names a few times. Do you call the Denver stadium Invesco Field or Mile High? Only professional announcers can get that mouthful out in under 30 seconds. It's Arrowhead and they can call the playing surface whatever they want. Gracie needs a new pair of shoes!!

The pressure will come from other places and telling them about Bartle and the origin wont matter.

Right, I get that. I guess I'm more curious how you brand the word Chiefs without any imagery, or what acceptable imagery for a man (Bartle) or a position of employment may look like, or if it even matters.

I mostly don't care, just curious what stripping away the imagery to just the word Chiefs looks like. I get that arrowheads were used by other groups, it just seems like dancing around the inevitable which is a) the groups behind this don't care and b) we've associated with Native American imagery since our inception and now all of a sudden we're pivoting to encompass whatever other groups used arrowheads, which seems obviously disingenuous. Like are we trying to do the right thing or just doing what we can to sustain the brand?

[KCUnited]

Like maybe "Chiefs" over the sad looking Bartle Hall silhouette?

There is no point. That is the eventual outcome.


We like to pretend how sensitive we are in the NFL's overblown matriarchal bs.

I've always found it ironic, considering Jim Thorpe was the first NFL commish and wore full garb to PROMOTE the league.

It makes no sense catering to these pansies that get offended by everything. They aren’t the types that watch football and aren’t going to start just because a team changes their name.

Football has an ever re-newing demographic which overwhelmingly takes it's majority views from the contemporaneous societal one. Being a dick to others just isn't a pass any longer. It's been a steady change of messaging that just aint coming back, regardless of how much you enjoyed it.
People 40 and under have very different relationships to eachother and expectations of behavior to the redneck fossils on this forum.

Being butthurt on here does nothing to change that.
Enjoy the game itself and the fact your team and it's colors are having a successful period, or stick to cornhole.

I thought BARTLE got his nickname “Chief” from when he was a young adult and was leader of a group that pretended to be Indians from the “Mic O Say” organization in 1925, which was similar to the Boys Scouts of America. Don’t think they called him Chief for being the mayor, he got that nickname years before that.

“Bartle claimed he was inducted into a local tribe of the Arapaho people and according to another “traditional Mic-O-Say legend,” Bartle was also given the name Lone Bear by an Arapaho Chief. Thus he went by the name Chief Lone Bear in his Mic-O-Say organization.

Sign design 101, there is way too much white space and the text wasn’t sized properly to more proportionally fill the sign.

Looks amateurish.

Except for the fact that GEHA is a stupid ass name, it is what it is. It's not that bad. Nobody will give a shit in a year.

I get that the old sign wasn’t a fantastically designed logo either but that’s from the early 70’s. More computer power in our phones than NASA had in its moon rockets filled with men. Different era. There are smart people in that building. Didn’t a single one go…. We need a better sign than one that looks done by a 2nd grader.

They need to construct a bigger sign. Looks they were too cheap to build what was needed for all the letters.

I guess they probably feel Its GEHA's choice for design as they are paying for it. Its a simple sign most likely till a better sponsor comes around. At least what I have seen around the league. Seems these partnerships last a couple years and a new comes forward.

Signs don't mean much to me but team logo and name plus traditions do.
