Don't want to get this into the whole Indians thing because there is a separate thread, but this is the history of them being called what they are. I understand both sides for changing or not changing.
Yeah Im aware of the tradition the Indians followed and honored, I'm 100% against logo/name change, but since uniforms, logos, etc are an hot topic in Cleveland, this popped up as me suggesting that when the Indians scrap the logo and name, I would like them to go with an all fresh look. As a die hard fan, i cant fathom seeing the same style of uniforms with a different name and logo representing what once was the past and they want us to forget about Chief, Holiday jerseys don't even represent him this season, he's gone.
That's why they're phasing out Chief moreso than ever.
Same uniforms new name/logo will only intrigue the average fan (including myself) even further to bring in Chief Wahoo to the park. I'm assuming they (MLB) doesn't want that.
When I was first in love with baseball/Indians/Chief Wahoo, I didn't know what racism even was, no clue, people were people, cartoons were just cartoons, and that's how I feel now when I look at the logo, do I understand the disdain for it, sure I do. But it's only from smaller crowds. They really wanna win this thing to poke their chest out and give a fist pump. AZ could go fuck himself quite frankly.
A whole new look would be good for business eventually. If/when the Chief Wahoo is dead, Indians are scrapped, then ball up everything and toss it.
Then these savages can move on to the next complaint over a sports logo.
