: Indians Will Abandon Chief Wahoo Logo Next Year
: The Cleveland Indians will stop using the Chief Wahoo logo on their uniforms
: beginning in 2019, according to Major League Baseball, which said the popula
r
: symbol was no longer appropriate for use on the field.
: Chief Wahoo, a cartoonish caricature of a Native American that has assumed
: several forms over the years, first appeared on the Indians’ uniforms in
: 1948. In recent decades various groups across North America have appealed to
: the team to renounce the logo, to no avail. But over the past year the
: commissioner of baseball, Rob Manfred, has pressured Paul Dolan, Cleveland’
s
: chairman and chief executive, to make a change.
: Citing a goal of diversity and inclusion, Manfred said in a statement
: provided to The New York Times that the Indians organization “ultimately
: agreed with my position that the logo is no longer appropriate for on-field
: use in Major League Baseball, and I appreciate Mr. Dolan’s acknowledgment
: that removing it from the on-field uniform by the start of the 2019 season i
s
: the right course.”
: 根據這篇紐時的報導，印地安人隊2019年起將不再使用Chief Wahoo隊徽。
: 去年Manfred主席就曾要求印地安人隊更換隊徽，認為此頭像已不適合做為場上的logo
。
: 印地安人球團已同意這個立場，2019年將更換Logo(包括球場內、制服上的標誌)。
: Chief Wahoo第一次出現在印地安人球衣上是1948年，
: 部分人士與團體認為此頭像帶有對美洲原住民的歧視與刻板印象。
: 現在這個隊徽即將走入歷史~
GQ這篇的文章倒是挺有意思的，GQ提出印地安人隊可以改成這些名字

1.Buckeyes
Though some would be quick to pooh-pooh it due to Ohio State's branding,
there's no reason why the Cleveland Baseball Club couldn't also be the
buckeyes. It's not like any one team owns the name "Wildcats" or "Lions"
or "Giants," and there is actually a great historic reason to name the
team "Buckeyes." Cleveland's Negro League team was known as the Buckeyes,
and they won the 1946 "Negro World Series." It would be a tremendous
change of pace to go from having a racially insensitive logo and team
identity that insultingly claims to honor a group of people to having
a non-controversial name that actually does.
2.Guardians
No, not "of the Galaxy." This isn't a Toronto-choosing-"Raptors"-because–
Jurassic Park-was-popular situation. Along the Hope Memorial Bridge that ends
right across the street from Progressive Jacobs Field stand the giant
"Guardians of Transportation." They're large Art Deco statues of beings
protecting various types of vehicles. Does it sound dumb? Maybe. Are they
cool-looking? Absolutely. I mean, just look at one of them:
3.Tribe
"The team is already often referred to as the Tribe, so why not just make
it official?" That's what proponents of this name posit, and I get the
appeal, but if you were to go through the trouble of changing the name, you
should probably avoid anything Native American–related. Calling the team
"The Tribe" and having a feather on the cap or something doesn't really help
things, does it?
4.Spiders
Okay, all those other names? Forget them. The Cleveland Indians should become
the Cleveland Spiders, and they should do it yesterday. For one thing, the
name has historic connections to the city as the Cleveland Spiders were a
National League team from 1887 to 1899, before the Cleveland Indians
(who were established in 1901 as the Bluebirds) even existed. For another,
it's a cool name that no other major professional sports team has, and the
design possibilities are awesome. I love this idea so much that I have taken
to calling the Cleveland Indians the Spiders whenever I can, and even ordered
custom-made fitted hats for my friends featuring a potential logo that
incorporates the current block-C logo. Every time I wear it out in Cleveland,
someone stops and asks me where I bought it.
You can't possibly tell me that people wouldn't love Spiders gear. Spiders
are scary, they're killers, and they make web (gems). It's such a perfect
fit, I find it insulting that this is even a conversation.
