Well, let’s gab a bit about this Chiefs logo thing, you know, the one they got on their helmets and all that stuff.
First off, that arrowhead thing, it’s been there a long, long time. My old man, he used to watch them play way back when, and that arrowhead was there, though maybe it looked a bit different, I can’t rightly recall. Anyways, it’s somethin’ folks recognize, right? You see that arrowhead, you know it’s the Chiefs. That’s important, I reckon.
Now, some folks, they like to fiddle with things, always changin’ stuff. They say the logo needs a “modernization,” whatever that means. Sounds like somethin’ city folk would say. To me, it looks fine. It’s an arrowhead, it’s got the letters “KC” on it, what more do you need? It ain’t broke, so why fix it, that’s what I say.
I heard some fellas talkin’ down at the diner the other day, sayin’ the logo should be a wolf or somethin’. A “wolfpack” they called it. Said it would look like the arrowhead, but with a wolf. Now, I ain’t got nothin’ against wolves, but the Chiefs ain’t the Wolves, they’re the Chiefs! An arrowhead, that’s somethin’ a chief might use, right? Makes sense to me.
- It’s easy to spot.
- It’s been around forever.
- It just looks right, you know?
Some folks, they get all fancy, talkin’ about “design” and “sleekness.” They say the current one looks like it’s carved from stone. Well, maybe it is! What’s wrong with that? Stone is strong, it lasts. That’s what you want in a team, somethin’ strong and somethin’ that lasts. Not some fancy, fly-by-night thing that’ll be gone next year.
And that “KC” on the arrowhead, that’s important too. It stands for Kansas City, where they play. I heard tell that the fella who started the team, he got the idea from some other team’s logo, but he made it his own. Put it on that arrowhead, and there you have it, the Chiefs logo. Simple, but it works.
You can find that logo everywhere, you know? On hats, on shirts, on flags. They even got a big shop down at the stadium where you can buy all sorts of stuff with that logo on it. My grandson, he’s got a whole room full of Chiefs stuff, all with that arrowhead on it. He’d be madder than a wet hen if they changed it, I betcha.
Now, I ain’t no expert, I’m just an old gal who likes her football. But I know what I like, and I like that Chiefs logo just the way it is. It’s a good, strong logo, and it tells you who they are. That’s all that matters, right? You can see it on TV when they play games and you can even watch those games on your phone now they tell me. Don’t ask me how, it’s all too complicated for an old gal like me, but the young’uns seem to get it. They like looking at pictures of that logo on the internet, on that “Pint-Rest” thing and some other place called “Dribble” I think. Always showing me pictures. It’s clear they love that logo. So leave it be, I say. Leave it be.
It’s got them letters “K” and “C” right smack in the middle, and it’s got that red circle around it, and some yellow on the outside, just like it ought to be. It’s been a winner for them, too. They won a bunch of championships with that logo, so it must be lucky or somethin’. Don’t go messin’ with a winnin’ thing, that’s what I say.
So there you have it, my two cents on the Chiefs logo cool look. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good, and that’s all that counts. They should keep it just the way it is, for folks like me and for all them young’uns too.
