...is the new nickname for the NFL team, "Red Tails" would have been the better name to honour the Tuskegee Air Men.
Washington Commanders
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Command and Conquer?
Anything is better than their previous name.
Now that the Eskimos and Indians have changed, when will the Blackhawks, Chiefs and Braves make a move?
I will admit, I used to love the Blackhawks jersey. It was iconic and looked really cool. But, I think they could easily transition it into an actual Blackhawk bird, and keep the colour scheme intact.

"Chiefs" and "Braves" words have nothing to do with native north americans:
Chiefs originates from the french word "Chef"-meaning ruler, leader
Braves originates from Italian : bravo ‘bold’ or Spanish : bravo ‘courageous
BlackHawks is the only offensive word.
They might have originated in other languages, but the images they use, like this:
Now, the Chiefs isn't as bad, it's an arrow head. But the do the tomahawk chop, which is pretty offensive in First Nations. Obviously the Braves do it as well.

I disagree about the Blackhawks. The name was taken from a military division in the first world war. That name was taken from an actual indigenous historical figure. The logo is beautiful and respectful.
He has also registered the following names with the Acme Trademark, Stamp, Stencil and Label Company of Oligarchov, Russia:
1) Grifters
2) Scammers
3) Conmen
4) Insurrectionists
5) Dictators
6) PussyGrabbers
Next time that you see an indigenous Canadian, go up to him and ask him if he's a Redskin. You'll probably get your answer.
