Renaming the Chiefs: Round 4 - The Elite Eight
Two names enter, one name leaves. We've got 8 candidates remaining from Round 3, seeded based on their initial scoring.
I'll present them in sets of two. Vote for ONE name from EACH pair. |
My votes are below.
Wolfpack over Knights. I dislike the Wolfpack name. I'm not crazy about the Knights name. Knights is better, but I'm not going to name the team after humans from a particular region. That's suicide. So I'll cringe and vote for Wolfpack. Kings over Outlaws. I'm not a fan of either name. We're not bad guys, though. I'll hold my nose and vote for Kings only because of the connection with Royals. Archers over Monarchs. If you're going to name the team after humans, Archers is a great name. It's a vocational name that's not unique to any region, so you can avoid a bunch of whining about it. Also, Archers will let us keep the arrowhead, which is great. In any other era I'd be okay with Monarchs, but if we review why there's complaining about the Chiefs name, it should be obvious why Monarchs won't fly. Stampede over Wolves. Wolves is a blah name. There are probably a thousand high school, college, and pro teams called the Wolves. Stampede is an amazing name. Stampede captures the spirit of the old west, it's a lively and action-oriented name, and Stampeeeeede is a great cheer. I hope Stampede wins the whole tournament. |
Getting down to the nitty gritty..
Knights, Kings, Monarchs, and Wolves for me. |

Did many people actually vote in these things? I appreciate the effort but until they force a change, I'm basically ignoring it. Chiefs isn't offensive.

find it very hard to believe that a BASKETBALL nickname has made it this far. :harumph:

I came up with Archers. It's got it all. But alas it's going to lose to a name that only reminds me of stuffy Europeans. Keeping the arrowhead logo should be paramount. Ah well.
