Indians to stop using Chief Wahoo insignia in 2019
Per Ken Rosenthal, seems like it was pressured by Manfred

Good. I know I'm not in the majority, but I like the "C" better anyway.

Honestly, it's about time. They're not removing it from team history just not using it going forward. Right move.

This has been a long time coming so I’m glad a plan has finally been unveiled. I’m on board with moving on from Chief Wahoo. I think the majority of Clevelanders will meet this news with indifference while a loud segment of the fan base might make outsiders think otherwise.
Should be interesting to see the reactions!

Furthermore, it could be a rallying point for Wahoo apologists this year.....

Looks like I'm gonna have to get me that hat before they retire it. Did the same thing with the Expos and Devil Rays prior to the retirement of those hats

All my Indians gear has Chief Wahoo on it. The best part is every fan in Cleveland will be wearing Chief Wahoo stuff at games. It will be unavoidable when they're on T.V.

However, I can see the team stepping in and making rules against dressing like Chief Wahoo at the ballpark in 2019. I think that’s about as far as the team would go, if at all.

It would be part of a personal conduct policy of sorts which people who buy a ticket would be agreeing to upon purchase. I’ll continue to casually wear Wahoo with the few items I have (just appears on the sleave of my jersey) but some people are going to go way over the top for attention.

Which BO member is that? And kudos to Manfred for this move. It's been a long time coming. Hopefully this puts a match under Roger Goodell's butt to get rid of the Washington Redskins name.

Unfortunately, wardrobe like this is going to become even more common at the ballpark this year in protest. I predict that Opening Day will be the biggest S-show this year.

In 2021 all team Logos will be removed and replaced by binary numbers.
For example, The Texas Rangers will be come The Texas 11011001's and so on. Hopefully this doesn't offend the numbers 0 or 1.

It is more likely to offend 2, 3, and 4.

I'm still trying to figure out how the logo is offensive in the first place
