Chicago Blackhawks to keep name, Native American logo
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Chicago Blackhawks will keep their name and logo, but are committed to “expand awareness” of Native American people.
The team’s statement Tuesday comes four days after the NFL’s Washington Redskins and MLB’s Cleveland Indians announced they’d review their Native American-based names and logos. On Saturday, the MLB’s Atlanta Braves gave no indication they were considering making a similar change, according to The Associated Press.
