Indians are borderline but that loving logo needs to get the gently caress out. Not sure about Blackhawks. If the argument is 'was designed to be offensive' applying to the Redskins logo then the Braves name is just as dead as the Indians and Chief Wahoo.

"McLaughlin had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I.[4] This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division", after a Native American of the Sauk nation, Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois.[4] McLaughlin named the new hockey team in honor of the military unit, making it one of many sports team names using Native Americans as icons." I guess chicago is okay on this one.

Mrit posted:I would say that 'Redskins', being a slur and actually commenting on skin color, is the only one likely to get removed. Braves and Chiefs are just Native American-themed. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2014/05/04/redskins-mascot-nickname-indians-wahoo-chiefs-blackhawks-braves/8705159/ quote:National pressure has been less on the Indians, Braves, Blackhawks and Chiefs. Obama and Reid didn't mention them. But the National Congress of American Indians, which bills itself as the nation's most representative American Indian and Alaska Native advocacy organization, has long called for the abolition of all such team names in pro sports. It's coming, 10 years after the Redskins name change their will only be Vikings and Irish left.

Nail Rat posted:I think Chief Wahoo should be next. That is already happening. The Indians are slowly phasing out Wahoo to keep the morons from reacting too strongly against the move. This year, the team made their block-C logo the primary, and that is what is now used almost everywhere. Graphics packages everywhere (trading cards, scoreboard graphics, SportsCenter, merchandise) are now using the block-C, which is a big step.

"Chiefs" was from a fan poll and it is usually attributed to in honoof H. Roe Bartle who was a pretty cool dude. That being said if they decide they want to change the name I don't care even a little bit.

The issue is that any re-registration would get stuck waiting for approval, which it probably would not get, and then any appeals of that denial would probably take place with it still being unregistered.
