Super Bowl LVIII will present the Kansas City Chiefs versus the San Francisco 49ers. So, Popeyes has a unique opportunity to make good on its Wings For Wings promotion, despite the concession posted at the fast feeder’s website (depicted above).
To recap, the Louisiana Kitchen offered free chicken wings if the Super Bowl winner has wings—initially defined as having a name or logo with wings (e.g., Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, etc.).
While the 49ers do not meet the criteria, it could be argued that the Chiefs qualify.
From 1963 to 1972, the team logo (depicted below) featured a running, tomahawk-wielding Native American in cartoon chief headdress made of bird feathers.
Additionally, current team mascot KC Wolf first appeared in 1989 as successor to Warpaint, a horse originally ridden by a man donning a full chief headdress, replete with feathers (depicted below).
In short, a Chiefs victory would allow Popeyes to complete the free wings giveaway.
Granted, the Kansas City Chiefs organization would likely distance itself from such politically incorrect publicity. But Popeyes and its White advertising agency are seemingly not above displaying cultural cluelessness.
