FSU football and the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs share some similarities in that both have ties to Native American culture.
The Chiefs originated had their first season in 1960 and of course the Noles were around well before that.
Kansas City did have the guy with a full Native American headdress riding a horse bareback around the stadium first. The Noles actually adopted that from San Diego State according to Bobby Bowden on the Bowden Dynasty documentary.
However, the FSU Marching Chiefs introduced the War Chant at an Auburn game in 1984 and now it’s one of the most iconic traditions in college football along with the Tomahawk Chop.
