I think the team has done a decent job of minimizing the Native imagery that is more problematic than the name itself, but I won't be the least bit upset if they do go ahead and change it. Monarchs would be perfect and worth buying from the former T-Bones. Some other names that could be fun:
- Burnt Ends
- Smokers
- Yardbirds (after Charlie Parker)
- Nighthawks (after the Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra, which was the first KC jazz band to gain national prominence. Please do not suggest any of the other words in the band's name)
- Fountaineers (okay this one is stupid but still kinda fun imho)
- Steamboats (after the Arabia and also "Arabians" would not go over well)
- Tornadoes (why isn't there a major pro team called the Tornadoes???)
- Unions, Scouts, Kings (former KC sport team names that would work well)
- Mobsters (celebrating KC's organized crime history!)
- Sevillians (celebrating KC's sister city, Seville, Spain)
- Barbers (like The Barber of Seville??)
I dunno man, I get the appeal of Tradition and all that, but I simply don't feel threatened by the prospect of a name change. If anything, it's an opportunity for something new and fun. I think we would all get used to it a lot quicker than we think, too. Either way I'm not losing sleep over it!
