Any Native Americans here that can voice an opinion? I don't think they even wear uniforms with that logo anymore as is, just a "C". So I guess they'd stop selling the merchandise, get rid of it around their stadium? Would they ban fans wearing retro hats from entry?

It's been slowly phased out, but they still wear the logo on their hats in many games

Ok, I stand corrected.

Any Indians fans have an opinion? Btw I hate you, go White Sox.

Even more racist than Redskins. It is a stupid logo and mascot. It should be done away with.

As a Native, I don't care. This shit doesn't offend me in the slightest. It's not like he's got a bottle of liquor in his hand and obviously drunk. I think we should be happy that they chose a Native American as the symbol of their team.

Also, GO TIGERS!!!

Good on them. The character was created as an ethnic dig against Allie Reynolds. And while his features aren't as exaggerated as they used to be, having an Indian mascot with tomato red skin probably isn't for the best.


I understand the complaints from those who are losing a cherished mascot, but it's sort of like someone having nostalgic memories of being told the bedtime story of Little Black Sambo. That's not something that belongs in this generation and not something which needs to be passed along to the next one.

Ugh. Fuck the Tigers. Fuck the AL Central, minus south siders. Mainly because you usually smoke us. Ahhh, 2005....
