They use the Kingdom because they can't use the Tribe. Although the Chiefs have a great relationship with Native American Organizations in the surrounding four states- the media would get their panties in a bunch and start crying "cultural appropriation" so they use the bland- Kingdom.
Even though the name Chiefs for the team was never intended to be based on a Native American name- it has slowly become that.
The Tribe is also taken by the Cleveland Indians. So until the Chiefs marketing department comes up with something better- Chiefs Kingdom it is.
