In 1947 the Cleveland Indians introduced the Chief Wahoo logo for their uniforms. In the beginning of the logos days, it was seen as very offensive due to its yellow face and large nose. Many Native Americans were upset with the baseball teams decision to create such a disrespectful logo to represent the Cleveland Indians. Eventually the organization realized its fault and recreated the Chief Wahoo logo. They made the nose smaller and revealed the red faced caricature we have today. Almost everyone loved the logo and still continues to love the logo today. Everybody all over the country was buying items of clothing with the Chief on them. At multiple points in time it was the best selling logo in all of Major League Baseball behind the New York Yankees. But through out …show more content…

Even thought the Cleveland Indians logo has zero legitimate effect on the game, you shouldn’t go. The best to way to show the Cleveland Indians that there actions upset us, is to never give them a cent of money we make. By not attending the game, we will in no time clear out the ballpark of 30,000 people. Once all of the Cleveland Indians fans see us nit enter the pall park they will follow our lead. Even though it hasn’t worked for the last few decades, it will work soon. Not supporting a disrespectful team, is what the Cleveland Indians organization needs to see from people from all over. Maybe if people inside of the management of the team would just remove this offensive logo, no problems would be seen. We could all enter back into the stadiums, and finally continue to support the Cleveland Indians. With a small group of people who protest against the Chief Wahoo logo, it is crazy that the Indians haven’t removed the logo from the uniforms. Although a large majority of people sees no problem with the logo, it truly makes no sense why the logo is still present on the uniforms of the Cleveland

    ~ Wally the Green Monster ~ A friendly monster named Wally once made his cozy home in a section of Boston called The Fenway. But knowing that some people were scared of monsters, he would rarely venture out from his front door. Little did he know that he would be one of the most loved mascots in the MLB! Or even all time! Although, some people may argue that Wally isn’t qualified to be a part of the Mascot Hall of Fame because he doesn't stand out enough, but we disagree because, his design of character is memorable, he is involved in his community, he has multiple memory moments, he gets very involved with his team, and he is youth focused.

It is a baseball with two red socks encircled with the words “Boston Red Sox.” This logo provides the admirer with the most basic information, needed to comprehend the symbol’s meaning. The ball in the center of the logo signifies that the logo is of athletic nature, at least to those who are minimally familiar with a baseball and/or the sport. The words are relatively easily deciphered as the name and the city of a team -- this is once again under the assumption that the admirer has been exposed to a culture familiar with professional sports.

    “Schools use these as ways to honor them for being brave and to look at them as a leader,” (“Native American mascot controversy”). This is a good idea, but students don’t think any students think this is the reason for the name. If the school really had this idea in mind they would do more to dignify it. But from what I’ve experienced it is that schools don’t really honor other teams' mascots. They have posters and chants going against the opponents mascot in a disrespectful way.

    The Indian mascot was originally designed to render tribute to Native Americans, not as a racial symbol. In the past forty years, changing the name backfired, and citizens began taking offense to the name because they felt like the name represented the color of Native American’s skin. Nevertheless, many fans, including Native Americans, do not consider the name or the mascot to be degrading or racial. Fans of the Washington Redskins participated in a poll that reveals, “77 percent reject changing the name” while in another poll “71 percent of NFL fans did not find the Redskins name offensive” (Lingebach 2). Clearly, from the results of the two polls, many fans would be unhappy if the Redskins’ name were to be changed.
