LONDON : English Premiership club Exeter Chiefs will drop their indigenous American-themed branding in the summer after criticism from fans, it was confirmed on Thursday.

In a statement the 2020 English and European champions said its new branding would feature the Celtic Iron Age Dumnonii Tribe which once inhabited Devon and Cornwall."We are excited to welcome in the next era of rugby within Exeter," chairman and chief executive Tony Rowe said. "Exeter has and always will be the most important term in our overall identity. The term Chiefs, however, is equally entrenched in our make-up, going back to over a century ago when teams in this region would regularly call their first teams that of the Chiefs. We are Exeter, we are the Chiefs!"

In 2020 the supporter group Exeter Chiefs for Change led the calls for the club to get rid of their branding. The club subsequently dropped their 'Big Chief' mascot, but retained the rest of their branding including places such as the 'Wigwam Bar' at their Sandy Park ground."As a rugby club we have been willing to listen, we have consulted far and wide, and now we are ready to invoke change," Rowe said.
