When the going gets tough, Hawks fly together!
Actually thats exactly where Nashville got their name from. They found Sabertooth remains when doing construction in the 70s. No they’re not roaming now, but they used to.
Why are they called the Nashville Predators?
Tennessee actually has a ton of caves which were probably pretty ideal for sabertooths. Theres even a music venue called the caverns thats literally in a cave, pretty sick.

I agree 100 percent. The team will still be as recognizable if everything stays exactly the same but the logos. Heck, you can't even see the logo on the red jerseys from afar to begin with. And the logo never matched the team color scheme either.
People will get used to it quicker than the vocal minority claim. Remember the outrage over helmet ads?

The color of the face of the logo is so close to the color of the jersey it blends in from far away.

It sounds like you are an expert in being far-sighted and drunk. I pray for you.

Not trying to be funny or mean, but do you have some color-related vision problem?

Personally I feel when it comes to a logo and or name that borrows from our Indigenous Peoples it comes down to whether there is a respect and admiration for the representation or not. The Edmonton Eskimos was borderline and from what I heard the Inuit liked it. Our culture tends to over think the whole situation and takes broad strokes in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Iconic names and logos are questioned and forced to bend to the political correctness that though having the right intention most of the time ends up losing something of value in the end for both peoples. The Blackhawks is an homage to a warrior chief who was from record an incredible human being. At least for this fan, who as a boy in the late sixties chose the Blackhawks due to the image that the Indian Head invoked the reason hasn't changed .. that beautiful way of life of the Native American and how they bravely stood true to their hearts and though in the end they lost they maintained their integrity and planted a truth into the records of the planet.

No, I do not have any vision problems. It's basically graphic design 101. Those jersey/logo color combinations would not be created in 2021. At least not as a primary jersey for a major league team.

Yeah I was wondering if he was red/green colour blind.

The Hawks jerseys have regular been considered among the best in the league for many, many years now. Just take the L and admit you were wrong, no harm in that.

... this post is... something.
And vocal minority? Wanting the Hawks logo to stay as it currently exists is not the opinion of a vocal minority. I'd say the vast majority of Hawks fans(and I'm sure many other fans) want the logo to stay as is. The vocal minority is the group calling for the Hawks to change it as they claim it's somehow cultural appropriation.
Imagine thinking the red jersey is "so close" to the color of the face of the indianhead that you can't see it...
If you're in graphic design, you may want to think about a career change.

You didn't take what he's saying is the vocal minority right. He's saying people who think people will turn out the team because of a change are the vocal minority.... this post is... something.

But to the color point, people for ages have talked of loving the white sweater more because it makes for logo pop more. What is said is just an extension of that.

Lol. Seriously. The entire purpose of the black border around the Indian head is to delineate the jersey color from the logo.

To the first part, that's fair. I misread that when I skimmed through the post.
To the color point, I still don't think the logo doesn't "pop" on the red, and I don't think it's hard to see the logo from a distance. The red jersey with an indianhead is immediately recognizable for lots and lots of people...
