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. [Reply]

But now that I think about it, settling the west probably isn't acceptable behavior these days.
anybody remember the old tribe posters of the probably 80s? the one I remember most clearly featured our defensive studs like DT, Ross and others. pretty sure the team had consulted with which ever tribe agreed to supply authentic regalia for the photo shoot [Reply]

I remember parking by 3A, in front of Kauffman, in the front row some native Americans that had a van with a TV in it. I don't think they went into the games, watched the TV in their van.
They had no problem with it. I even still have some feathers and beads I bought from them. [Reply]
