Chiefs Listen, people. We need to have a talk about a Chiefs name change at some point. - Page 21

**Rain Man** · 06-29-2020, 11:59 AM

I think the odds are low of a name change, but given the current state of affairs it's a non-zero possibility. And if we don't have input, the name will end up being some trite adjective in front of the word Hawks, which has happened with pretty much every other sports name change in America. Green Hawks, Fighting Hawks, Screeching Hawks, whatever. We don't want that.

I suspect that some members of Chiefs management read this site occasionally to get our takes on who should be starting at left guard or how they should handle a particular contract, so this is our chance to have input into the process. (Oh, and hi, Clark. Nice work last year, my friend. PM me about getting together for dinner next time you're in Denver.)

So we'll have a renaming tournament. In this thread, you may propose up to three names, and I'll structure everyone's suggestions into heats. Using the Chiefsplanet brain trust, we'll give Clark and his team valuable input into what the Chiefs should become if we eventually delete our homage to indigenous plains cultures.

Team names that don't end with "s" should be unacceptable.

Oh. I didn't know that.

How about if Clark buys them and shuts them down? Because that's a really good name. It belongs in the big leagues.

I could approve a few names, such as Moose, but I agree in principle.

Holy shit this is moving fast

Even with Washington’s statement, I never thought the Chiefs would consider a name change as some have fairly suggested and encouraged, but if this falls like dominoes, with the Atlanta Braves and Florida State Seminoles next, for example, it might get interesting in Kansas City. https://t.co/8Rs2MndcEK

I’m ready. Got my chefs gear ordered from China. Of course it will come back spelled Chiefs.

At least Wolfpack has some history associated with the team.

I took a quick look at the Sandbox team name database, and added a few more. I'm shutting down the nominations now and this will be the field of candidates. The tournament will begin very soon.

I do not believe this will happen, sorry. Chiefs is NOT a racial name/suggestion - it is actually a leader name in the Indian nation/culture. Redskins yes - SLANG - Chiefs, no. Not worried. Leaders of an Indian heritage! Oh, and Super Bowl 4 and LIV Champions baby!
