My votes are below.
Positives: Ermines, Emerald Knights Ermines is, of course, the greatest team name in America that's not in use. If we became the Ermines, we would be legendary. The rest of the NFL would probably fold their tents because 100 percent of the country would become Ermines fans. Emerald Knights is a great name. It hearkens back to the Emerald City of Oz, which of course ties in with our midwest location. It may confuse some people who can't tell Missouri from Kansas, but those people are confused anyway. I really like the imagery. Neutral - Beefs, Conestogas. Both names tie to the area's history. Beefs is awesome because we can still sing "Home of the Beeeeeefs". Conestogas are perhaps THE most famous thing about Kansas City, albeit it's probably not thrilling to the native american complainants. I would be fine with both of these, but I'm spending my ammo on the other two names. Negative - Kangaroos is nicely alliterative, but seems to have little association with Kansas City. We don't have a lot of kangaroos that are native to the region.

I think Ted's a consensus builder. He'd recognize the need for alliances across the aisle, particularly with native americans like Elizabeth Warren.

I actually really like the sound of Emerald Knights.
Unfortunately, I'd prefer to keep red in the color scheme so it just doesn't mesh. |

Yeah, that's the main problem with Emerald Knights, and there's not really a workaround for it. But like you, I'm a big fan of the name itself. And independent of the Chiefs, that name with emerald green jerseys would be spectacular.

It sucks that Ruby Knights just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Though Sapphire Knights sounds pretty cool. |

The other thing I like about Emerald is the link to Oz. I guess Ruby also has a link to Oz, but I don't want to change the name to the Kansas City Ruby Slippers.
