The Kansas City Chiefs are members of the National Football League and compete in the AFC West division. The Chiefs were first known as the Dallas Texans when they were founded in 1960. They moved cities, and subsequently made the name change three years later. The Kansas City Chiefs are the latest Super Bowl Champions for the 2019 season, led by head coach Andy Reid and young quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The inception of the Kansas City Chiefs logo, an arrowhead with interlocking ‘KC’ letters, was inspired by the San Francisco 49ers logo. Both have a similar interlocking design and color palette. The Chiefs have filed several trademarks for their logo, which has essentially never changed. The first filing of the logo came in October of 1971.
The Kansas City Chiefs first trademark filing, like most NFL teams, is simply their name in International Class 41 for furnishing entertainment services in the nature of professional football games. The name was filed on the same date as the logo.
A notably different trademark filing for the Kansas City Chiefs came in May 2018. The trademark filing was for a brand of beer, KC Blonde Ale, the first “beer-branded” trademark filing by an NFL team that involved the team’s name and logo. The team did release another beer in 2014 for Kingdom Red Ale, however, a trademark filing was never made. The company behind the crafting of these beers for Kansas City is Golden Road Brewing. Golden Road has a partnership with Anheuser-Busch, whom has a partnership with the Chiefs.
