"Indians" honored the abundance of Indians that were defeated to settle the Northwest Territory ( Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois) "Chiefs" we all know how that came about.... nothing to really do with the Native Americans.

I also think Chiefs have done it the correct way and gained support from local and national Native American tribes. BUT if all that doesn't matter and we are forced to change things....my favorite is to still keep the team name "Chiefs" because that name came from the Mayor NOT Native American "Chief" and simply just change the Logo/Marketing from Native American theme to First Responders theme (Police/Fire/EMS/Military/Dispatch/RN..what ever) and be the "Chiefs" of the first responders. Logo can be something like this: Just keep our colors and where Louisville Fire Department is put Kansas City Chiefs and then where it says Colorado put Missouri.....So people stop thinking we are in Kansas haha. This could also make for some really cool Alternate Jerseys Maybe I could do something like that, so that people will not think I live in Kansas. 🌻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we die slowly everywhere, but that is beside the point. It mostly has to do with our optimism. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
