The Blackhawks were one of the teams this summer that was called out for their use of Native American imagery, but they released a statement reaffirming the continued use of their name and logo.
The Hawks committed to raising awareness of Black Hawk, the Sauk and Fox war leader who is their namesake, and banned Native American headdresses and war chants at the United Center.
Technically, the Blackhawks are named after the U.S. Army's 86th Infantry Division (which was named after the chief).army
Well, the Blackhawks are my favorite NHL team and personally I think their jerseys (sweaters) and logo are the best in any professional sport. I find absolutely nothing negative about their proud Indian logo. And I have lots of stuff with it on them.
Even if our so-called, self-proclaimed dynasty starting in 2015 was quite short.
Go Hawks!! --CootHawk
