No..... End of story.
An Ojibway artist, Mike Ivall, suggested a new logo for the NHL club that is more contemporary and culturally acceptable. Looks impressive. Do you think the Blackhawks club should consider updating their logo?
Alright... Not end of story......
These are 6 logos that should never ever change.
Now end of story....

When it comes to Classic sports logos, all I can say to that is........Thank You.Dinosaurs, that's all I'm saying.
I don't see nothing wrong with the original one myself....I see no evil in it....its nicely done....
So what if it's the Mona Lisa it isn't the team logoIvall's logo is ART - I love it!
You guys who can't handle change? Dinosaurs, that's all I'm saying.
Things change. The Cleveland Indians have updated their logo, I'm sure others have too... Ditto uniforms, no problem. How many teams have left the cities and fans that loved & supported them, or just threatened to, for more money?
That's an easy one. It needs to change because a very small percentage of people find it offensive, or at least they say they do (as a means of exerting power just to exert power).
A few years ago Sport Illustrated, along with the Pew Research Center, did a poll of Native Americans, and found that a full 83% found none (as in not even one) of the high school, college or pro sports teams' names or logos offensive, Something like 12% found one or more offensive, but it was only about 2 percent that found any and all Native American names or mascots offensive.
There certainly have been some whoppers, like the Wahpeton (North Dakota) Wops, the Pekin Chinks, the Coachella Valley Arabs, Freeburg Midgets, East Akron Orientals.
My favorite is the Fighting Nads of the Rhode Island School of Design...
Incidentally, I am deeply offended, deeply, I tell you, about the Daytona Turtugas and their mascot, Shelldon.

No, it shouldn't change, now or ever, just and only because the demand for change is some you know who's for their usual ignorant reasons. If it had been changed by the club with no outside demand for change then fine, at least as to reason, even if the change was from the great original logo to the lame rooster. Not as an appeasement though. No.
