Blackhawks name hasn't been as controversial as Redskins

The Chicago Blackhawks declined to comment about the Washington Redskins’ loss of trademark protection Wednesday, but an expert said there’s little reason to believe the hockey team’s name and Indian head logo could face similar jeopardy.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office found in a 2-to-1 decision that trademarks covering the Redskins’ name and associated symbols disparaged American Indians, and thus must be canceled under federal law. The team vowed to appeal, noting it had won a similar legal case a decade ago.

Blackhawk is a tribal name, is it not?

No, it is a personal name.

In fact it is a translation of a personal name.

They will have to change the name back to the actual name. So they will now be known as the "Chicago Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak".
