No more Chief Wahoo.

They were having a serious debate the other day on the radio about whether or not the Braves should ditch the tomahawks.

Guess they didn't do much research or they would have found those foam tomahawks are manufactured by the Cherokee Nation in North Carolina.

But, I've been petitioning for years to get the Braves to change their name to the Peach Fuckers. Have yet to get a response.

You probably need to design a jersey. If you want some advice, try for Peache Phuquers ... it sounds trendy and is easier to sell in gentrified areas, which are decidedly not what the Braves are trying to avoid.

Honestly, the only thing I saw for sure was they were going to take it off their uniforms, not that they were going to stop marketing it. The dingdong in the outfield with that drum probably needs to be in a straitjacket by now, though.
The Indians will have to come up with a better alternative than some big red C that isn't even interesting. I think they should go back to this uniform and really annoy the fans. I never heard if Franky Robinson was offended by the Wahoo toon.

How can the racist people look at that mascot?
No wonder the bad karma since 1948.
I will be glad when they change name to the SPIDERS

Now that you mention it, since that Billy Goat hex was taken off the Cubs, and the Curse of the Bambino was ended long ago, Cleveland is the new cursed team. Longest drought, etc. Maybe the new curse is the Curse of, yes, Chief Wahoo

And Dahmer and Ed Gein were Packers fans. It's that whole division......

There's no such thing as curses. Just bad management decisions, players that didn't pan out and owners that are cheap.

Why in the world are they waiting to "retire" the logo in a year? Is Cleveland planning on jumping on this MLB player retire after next season trend? Do they expect opposing teams to give them gifts before each game?

Drop it. Change it. Move on already.

Because it is a cash grab. They are going to sell a shit ton of Wahoo stuff this year.

Move to fast in Cleveland and heads spin.
Don't want to confuse them.

Yes, that is what they expect. Wahoo will be showing up at the beginning of every series where they are facing a team for the last time--and he will be expecting a Heap of Wampum.

You shut your goddamned whore mouth.

I submitted a team name change suggestion to Indians' ownership. Let me know what you think:

the Cleveland Oregon Is Full Of Women Even The Ones With Penises And The Ducks Suck Balls

Cleveland spiders....
Still sounds like losers

I see a lot of options here for weeknight promotions, so ... yeah, this gets my endorsement with a few minor modifications to account for for gender fluidity.

- definitely will increase sales. I'm all set already, wahoo cap and shirt.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Do any HOF players have the Wahoo logo on their cap in their Canton Bust? Bob Feller? Larry Doby? Hell, will Jim Thome this year?

Just curious.
