Chiefs Renaming the Chiefs: Round 1, Heat 5

**Rain Man** · 07-07-2020, 08:13 PM

Note: We have 16 heats in this round.

The rules are:

1. You can vote 'yes' on as many as you like, AND you can vote 'no' on as many as you like. Feel free to run wild.

2. The winner of the heat will be the name that has the highest net score (yes minus no). This will reflect the name that has the most satisfaction and least disapproval. In other words, it will be the least controversial name.

We'll have 16 heats in Round 1, with one winner per heat. The entrants have been selected randomly from the nomination thread.

As background, assume that it's 2024. President Ted Nugent has just distributed holsters to every American household. He is now seeking to build consensus across the parties, so he names Elizabeth Warren as the nation's "sports czar". Elizabeth's first order of business is to eliminate Native American-themed sports names, because there's nothing she hates more than white people making money by appropriating native american culture.

So the Chiefs have no choice but to change names. If they don't, the team will be banned and a new replacement team will be formed in Los Angeles, because if you keep putting teams there, eventually people will start watching them. (That tentative team name is the Los Angeles Trembling Fawns if you're curious.)

In a bit of good news, they're allowing the fans to select the new name, so we're on the clock. Do your best work, people.

My votes:

Positive - Racers, Connoisseurs, Nomads. Racers works well for some reason. I'm not sure why. I really like Connoisseurs, even if I have trouble spelling it. I envision a great image of a guy in a butler outfit dispatching foes like James Bond. I like Nomads as well because it'll let us keep the Arrowhead.

If I was going with one, I'd go with Connoisseurs. It's a very classy name.

Neutral - Crop Dusters. I really like it, but it might be a little dated, and of course there's a flatulence association. I could like it, though. I almost voted for it.

Negative - United. Too soccer. Can't do it.

United sounds too much like a soccer team.

All of them have FC. Stupid

**srvy** · 07-07-2020, 09:32 PM

What the hell are racers? Blue Racers I would have liked as they are a pretty cool snake. They are fast and will charge you if you get to close to there nest. Yet they have no real defense mechanisms no fangs no Venum just a lot of moxie.

What about the Kansas City Crackers?

See, because Nabisco used to make their crackers here. In the Stuart Hall building. The ovens are still there in the bottom. Seriously. Crackers. Because Nabisco.

Change the black to red and the gold to yellow. Put KC instead of Iowa on the band for the goggle.
