Not terrible. Would have preferred a non government/DC name. I also think mascots are stupid and would have just stuck with Washington

I can't help but think their entire goal was to pander to the people who root for the military like it's a sports team. Because if you put that group in a Venn diagram with the people who were pissed they changed the name in the first place, it would be a perfect circle.

Anything beats Washington Football Team. I was amazed they went with that for two seasons. Wonder what the Chiefs new name will be.

Monarchs would get the most support.

Ever is a long time, but I don't see Chiefs changing any time soon.

Me neither.

And, as someone that strongly believes that Cleveland and Washington were well past due on their brand changes, I don't find the Chiefs nickname to be on that level. Just cut the cringe-y outdated traditions.

I give the Chiefs 5-7 more years until they are called something else and I will still call them the Chiefs, like the KC Wizards.

So, like, if you went to a home MLS game in KC, you'd be yelling "Go Wiz!" and the like?

That could be offensive to the Lepidoptera-American community. They better do their homework first.
