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.

If anything, Native American named teams (not named Redskins) helps eliminate white supremacy.

Eliminating native American names is cancel culture against minorities. Revel in the fact that we live in a great multicultural nation with names from all cultures. Helps provide a good balance of culture.

While in no way will KC Chiefs be 86ed. The remote possibility Hunts would change I like Kansas City Explorers. It honors the KC area history of the trailhead edge of the frontier and beginning of The Voyage of Discovery along with the beginning of the Santa Fe Trail.

We need something familiar, but not so controversial.

I'll consider it, but I think it's got too much room for confusion with the other AFC West teams.

Comets are the indoor soccer team in Kansas City. I'd rule that one out.

I think we'll get away with keeping the Chiefs if they lose the chop, drum and headdresses. And Warpaint.

But also, just for kicks, imagine removing the yellow and replacing with purple. The shirts would be awesome.
