The Caciques de Humacao' (lit. "Humacao Chiefs") is a BSN basketball team in Humacao, a town in the east of Puerto Rico. The team was created in 2005, when the now extinct Toritos de Cayey franchise was relocated as the Humacao Grays. The Caciques' homecourt is the new Humacao Arena. In 2010 Antonio "Tonin" Casillas, the teams owner decided give the franchise a makeover and changed the name to that of the Humacao Caciques (Humacao Chiefs). The main reason was to reflect a more positive image on a city which has always been known as the "gray" city. The change also shifted the public opinion on to the Taino heritage of the city and honors the great chieftain Jumakao who fought a rebellion against the Spanish over 500 years ago.
