The Atlanta Braves have not used their controversial "Screaming Indian" logo in any official capacity since 1989, but the team plans to bring it back next season as part of its new batting practice hats.

And so far, the reaction on the Web has been less than positive.

One thing you can count on from "sports commentators" is political correctness run amok. It's the same community where scumbags like Keith Olbermann come from.

This was the offical logo of the Milwaukee Braves in 1957:

Boo hoo. They should change their name to the “Heathen Savages” Eff the aboriginal Americans if they don’t like it. It probably isn’t the injuns bitching about it in the first place

He’s not screaming. He’s laughing at the White people.

Great teeth. Think he uses whitening strips?

The Brave always looked like he got his finger caught in a high voltage socket.

Go Phils!

I hope they bring back Chief Nocahoma and his teepee.

Screaming Indian?

Tell these 30 IQ liberal apes that the Indian is singing a happy song about bunnies and chipmunks.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

With a happy look like THAT, he must have just killed and eaten a spotted owl!

[Flick Lives]

Screaming? The logo looks more like a LOL indian.

[Overtaxed]

I did.

And I don’t give a damn. :)
