Yawn.
Every shmohawk CLE native has penned garbage like this with faux authority because they too grew up with good feelings about Wahoo.
Wahoo is the best looking logo in baseball and polls showed that the vast majority of Native Americans liked it too.

PC garbage at its finest.

In the meantime, I guess I should buy those stickers while I can.

You know, I see both sides of this, and I wasn't posting because I agreed with it 100%, I just thought it was an interesting way of looking at it. So I'm with you up until

Because it's not boring letters like the others?

It elicits an positive emotional feeling in any native Clevelander that yet another a dumb letter C never will.

The word you are looking for is "manly" (courage and strength).

It's bad. Like really bad. The fact that it has nostalgia for CLE fans doesn't make it less bad. And the fact that many other logos are boring (or that the C is boring for that matter) also doesn't make it less bad. This is all completely independent of the PC aspect, which I agree with you on.

So then its nostalgia speaking. Still one of the best selling logos in baseball.

I was referring to the design aspect only. Without nostalgia attached, it is atrocious.

What a load of garbage. "The point was never that Wahoo was some devious attempt to dehumanize Native Americans or anything like that. He’s from another time."
