Chief Wahoo will be around for

the 2018 season, but that’s it.

If and when UND unveils their mascot, can we save this picture for the "it could have been worse" response?!!

Its suppose to be modeled after the Phillie Phanatic. I am shocked Native Americans didn't protest this, the same way they were unpleased with Thunder the Bleacher Creature.

So ... uh ... um ... is this what happened when Thunder the Bleacher Creature mated with the San Diego Chicken? 

No wonder TtBC went into hiding ...

2019 season.  It'll be on the jerseys and hats for 2018.

Note to self:  Buy an Indians hat in 2018.

"During a debate Tuesday over the Cleveland Indian's recent decision to drop their "Chief Wahoo" logo, ESPN "First Take" host Max Kellerman argued the Notre Dame Fighting Irish mascot is offensive as well.

Kellerman said he is personally thanked every time he visits a reservation for his public opposition to Native-American mascots in sports.

"When I go to Native-American reservations around the country to call fights, I am approached—I've received feathers in honor and letters saying, ‘Thank you for your stance,'" he said.

Based on that anecdotal evidence, he dismissed a Washington Post survey that found nine out of 10 Native-Americans are not offended by team names like the NFL's Washington Redskins."

 

what a load of crap...

Not Native American, but you knew this was coming at some point. I guess we will see how far it goes.

They can still make money off of the interlocking ND logo. Hmmm....where have I heard that before?

About 25% of my casual clothes are Notre Dame apparel.  I think one of the T-shirts has an Irish guy on it.

 

Notre Dame has the money to fight off any contest.  I would be VERY surprised to see them let it get far.  The Fighting Irish brand is probably  among  the most valuable name in collegiate athletics.

The battle will be won by attrition.
That is the weaponry of those that take up the fight.

Well, since the other 75% is Bison gear, your math adds up.

apparently a B and a W inside a circle inside of a spear constitutes a "mascot" these days.  (Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks).

Curious as to why Prescott students are protesting the nickname "Chieftains" and not the actual town name - "Osceola?"

Osceola and Baldwin-Woodville respond...

So then it's more like 33.3% of your casual clothes are Notre Dame apparel...
