The Tribe revealed  their new alternate home uniforms today. The new look is nice, yes, but it makes me wonder if they are just making these uniforms in an attempt to phase out Chief Wahoo. Team mascots such as Chief Wahoo have been a controversy for many years in the sporting industry. Right now, there is a case called the University of North Dakota v NCAA  before a federal district court to go over this very same issue. University of North Dakota has a team mascot called the "Fighting Sioux". While the NCAA will never have any jurisdiction over MLB, this case has many implications for teams such as the Indians and the Braves. The future of team mascots such as Chief Wahoo maybe in question. While I think the Tribe may have no implications by this jersey move, it has been clear for many years that there has been pressure from the Native American community for the Indians to get rid of Chief Wahoo, even pushing so far as to want the Indians to change their team name. While I can’t see the Indians changing their team name, especially since the name means so much to the city of Cleveland, it will be interesting to see where this case goes and what it means for professional sports teams with Native American roots.
