Chiefs Trivia: team name
 

In 1963 when the team moved here from Dallas, Lamar wanted to keep the name "Texans" but Jack Steadman talked him out of that ridiculous idea. The Star held a contest to name the team. First place: Mules.


What was the runner up suggestion?

Ermines.

Jackasses

The Kansas City Slapdicks

i guess the way the chiefs have been donkey punched over the years, the mules sounds about right :D

So you mean all this time you could have been the mules? Hahhahahha

Kansas City Royals

I dont know but if the Chiefs ever decide to change their name we need to become the KANSAS CITY FLYING SQUIRRELS

What a fantastic animal

It looks like a cross between a cat and a large burrowing animal

Gotta be Penises.

Ricky Butler says Foaming Squirrels.

Hint: it was referenced in the movie Blazing Saddles

The Mongos....
“ Mongo only pawn in game of life...”

The Kansas City Lili Von Shtupps..

I did an elimination thing since I can't remember. The Jayhawks, Penises, and Sporting had to be thrown out right away. I believe the name Royals was given to the baseball team because Mr. Kauffman's company used a crown or something similar for a company logo. Therefore, my answer is Rattlesnakes. Damn, that would have been awful. The winner, Chiefs, was an homage to former mayor H. Roe Bartle, who's nickname was "Chief" for all you youngsters. You're welcome. :)
