Alright, get this – Pat Riley, the legendary basketball coach, just gave the NFL the green light to use the term “three-peat” on merchandise if the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl LIX. Now, you might be wondering why this is such a big deal. Well, let me break it down for you.
“Three-peat” is a term coined by Pat Riley back in the 1980s when his Lakers team tried to win three consecutive NBA championships. It’s become a popular phrase to describe a team winning three championships in a row. And now, Riley is allowing the NFL to use it if the Chiefs manage to clinch their third Super Bowl title in a row. How cool is that?
This move by Riley is a win-win for everyone. The NFL gets to use a catchy phrase to hype up the Chiefs and their potential three-peat, and Riley gets some cash and more recognition. It’s a win for the fans too, as they’ll get to see some awesome merchandise with the iconic “three-peat” slogan.
Riley and the Chiefs have a deal in place for the use of the phrase, if the Chiefs become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.
Riley’s attorney, John Aldrich, told Rovell that any royalties would be paid to the Pat Riley Family Foundation. Aldrich would not comment on the specifics of the deal between Riley and the Chiefs.
The phrase has been licensed by Riley for use after the Chicago Bulls won three titles in a row, twice, when the Yankees won three straight World Series from 1998 through 2000, and when the Lakers eventually won three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 through 2002.
So, if you’re a Chiefs fan or just a fan of awesome sports moments, keep an eye out for that “three-peat” merchandise if the Chiefs come out on top in the Super Bowl. It’s a moment that could go down in history, and now thanks to Pat Riley, it’ll have a catchy phrase to go along with it. Go Chiefs!
