This is a good thing, though it was a classic logo and I admit I'll miss it. Hopefully the Redskins re-brand soon as well.

I love Chief Wahoo as their logo. Ever since childhood, I always see them on their games

I like the logo too, but it's also racist AF so good riddance.

I grabbed a hat last year bc I heard this was coming. I always liked the Indians logo. Yes racist. But also iconic.

Racist but iconic...  bought myself a swasitika armband at garage sale last month so I can hold onto those fond memories....  ugh.

Man you make it sound like he doesn’t make a good point.

[Sniper9 529]

Not saying he doesn't make a good point but the Indians logo is a classic one. Maybe I used the wrong term in saying iconic. What I meant was classic. I agree it is racist but for everyone who grew up with the Indians using that logo, it'll always be how we remember the team as, whether it's a good thing or bad thing.

No, I agree that it’s an iconic logo. What I find odd is that you’d buy something with a racist logo on it and admit that it was BECAUSE it’s going away because it’s racist.

Aren't you supposed to slowly work up to Nazis, vs. just jumping right to it?

C'mon man.  Foreplay.

I personally don't know the specific back story of the Indians logo. I got it because as a kid I  liked the logo and it grabbed my attention. 

If you want to compare me to a nazi for liking a cartoon logo bc I grew up watching the Indians, then go ahead. Everyone these days gets butt hurt over everything anyways.

Yeah it’s crazy to think people are getting butthurt over such a small thing as racism.

Everything and everyone is racist these days. Haven't you heard?

No, just the things that are racist.

Animal names for sports teams  are always safe (for now)...
