I’m a Sioux Indian and have several old friends who grew up on the reservation (I didn’t.) They told me once when this logo controversy first came up that when they were growing up on the rez, one of the kids had a Cleveland Indians baseball cap that they used to take turns wearing because they all thought it was so cool.

They didn’t know that they were supposed to be offended I guess.

I hear of the same thing on the reservations here in ND; the most popular sports attire is UND Fighting Sioux.

Back in the early 90's, when the Tribe was the three legged dog of the American League and I was living in Europe, I wore a Chief Wahoo cap all the time. Definitely a conversation starter and especially with Ohioans I met. The Cleveland TV sport news used to show him with a couple teeth missing after the team had been bashed in that day's game.

PS: Cherokee and Delaware (Lanape) ancestry. If anything doing this will make the Chief Wahoo logo caps more popular than ever.

Went to an Cleveland vs Angels game once and the most outlandish Indian gear was worn by real indians. What a hoot!

MiQ'Maw/Inuit here, and I agree with you!

I don't get offended at the Eskimo Pie Logo either! LOL!:
