Searched CP and didn't see this come up as a thread...wondering if anyone here has been through anything like this.

Second part to this question...can you legally just use the name "KC CHIEFS" in a different font and be OK with copyright law?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
You're talking about a Trademark protection, when it comes to an NFL team's name, though it seems you're referring to their brand name than a mere business or trade name. Copyright protects artistic and literary works. Both offer intellectual property protection.

To answer your question, I found this. Hope it helps.

You might want to try one of those free legal sites and ask the question. Using KC Chiefs when writing something about them isn't quite the same thing as you're talking about, but which is okay.
