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

Quick question: are ermines native to Kansas City?

KC FIRE CHIEFS Double AXE Grey and Yellow uniforms like the coats firemen wear when they break in. Fountains the Dalmation is the mascot. The KC HOSE cheerleading team. LADDER UP is the slogan.

"The Kansas City Champs" has a nice ring and will be relevant for the next two decades.

History is moving forward, my friend. If we don't move with it, we'll be left behind like an Australopithecus watching the Bering land bridge sink.

I have conflicting information about ermine habitat, but the Missouri extension office implies that there are indeed ermines in the northern part of the state. It's problematic because it's not the exact species of Mustela erminea, but it's close enough. And there are no lions in Detroit or tigers in Cincinnati.

Kansas City **** Crushers

The word Chief is noble and has a respectful connotation. In this case, it is attributed to the elders of the native american communities. There is nothing racist, demeaning or pejorative in its definition. To argue otherwise is irrational.
