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

[Rain Man]

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.

That's a really good name, and the red jerseys can be recast as devilwear.

I've always been fond of the name Hellcats. It works better with a bit of alliteration like Harlem Hellcats.

Kansas city Redlegs. We would wear the red pants all the time.

I know I put in my suggestions, but can you change my Kansas City Kings name to the Kansas City Coelacanths?

Those things are badass.

To answer the question, Kansas City Kings seems like the best choice.

One syllable, quick and easy. Alliteration helps it flow off the tongue and it keeps the theme of high ranking individuals going.

Would the logo be a crown?

The King would be offended.

This would be the only way the mascot we have would ever make sense.

Nice try, but not a very good idea at all because every fan of the opposing teams would bombard us with shouts of "Fap Kings!" whilst making repetitive motions with their arm.

Kansas City Cuties

Kansas City Escalades

However Mike Tyson says our team now is what it should be. Cause we stole him at #10

Why is it that I see Redskins/Chiefs memorabilia and gear out at the rez in Northern California?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “fap king” in my life so I think your concern is a bit misplaced.

As it stands, Chiefs can easily be turned into Chiefs and no one cares about that.
