Where did the Cleveland Indians logo come from?

The Cleveland Indians logo, known as "Chief Wahoo," was introduced in 1947 and was designed by a cartoonist named Walter Goldbach. It features a grinning Native American character, which was intended to be a mascot for the team. The logo drew inspiration from various Native American imagery but has faced significant criticism for perpetuating stereotypes and cultural appropriation. In December 2018, the team announced it would phase out the Chief Wahoo logo, reflecting a broader movement towards more respectful representation of Indigenous cultures.
