Is Chief Wahoo Dead?

I see a giant C where The Chief should be on the Indians' caps. Is he gone now? It's just a friggen caricature.

This was the most racist:

Plenty of Wahoo in the mlb shop. Looks like they have a C hat and a Wahoo hat for both home and road.

Had a closer look on sportslogos...looks like they may be slowly phasing it out, bringing in letters....


I guess I cheer for a giant S and compass, so cheering for an I or C isn't anything different :lol: :lol:

I'm pretty sure that even when they wear the stupid C hats that Chief Wahoo is hanging out on a sleeve patch.

I don't really understand why some Native Americans hate Chief Wahoo. Whenever I go to the reservation, people always want to know where I got my latest stylish Wahoo lid. I've never had anybody say anything negative or even look at me funny. But every year a group protests the usage of the Chief. Weak.


If you haven't seen this modest proposal for the Chief, you have GOT to check it out! http://www.shipbrook.net/jeff/ChiefWahoo/



Long live Chief Wahoo. He's the #1 reason I'm an Indians fan!

I took this awesome picture back in the day, I didn't have a camera on my phone, or a digital camera... just a scanner. You would believe how hard it was to lay my arm on the scanner and reach over and hit scan at the same time... :lol: It's not really all smashed and stretched like that in real life (or RL if you prefer)...
