In reply to the discussion: Indians removing Chief Wahoo logo from game uniforms in 2019 [View all]PJMcK
(22,035 posts)8. Consider the logistics involved
We should be praising the Cleveland Indians for making a smart and socially responsible decision.
Changing their logo will be a massive undertaking. It's not just the jerseys and the ball caps. Most likely, the tickets have been printed and programs and other publications finished. Certainly, there are lots of other things that have the existing logo on them. It will take them some time to make all of the changes.
I agree that it's taken them a long time to do the right thing but here we are. I hope the Redskins are next.

OP
I'm not a sports fan, but I know this caricature has been around for a long, long time.

They have resorted to mainly using a cursive I or a C to represent Indians or Cleveland

It's frustrating when society does not adhere to our own timetables of change.

Please. My high school stripped off 'indians' as a mascot 20 years ago.

I don't think it's really all that difficult to re-brand a sportsball team.

These teams change their uniforms and promotional material several times in a season to get people

Considering Spring Training starts in about 2 weeks I'd say it is too late for this year

I have lived and been around N.E. Ohio and Chief Wahoo is a big part of the local culture

Why not the obvious and also long overdue choice, the "Cleveland Rox"?
