I thought they changed the name to get away from that. It was Black Hawk if memory serves.
Lazy way around it, sure. Especially the part about not changing their logo. But I thought the name change was intended to cut ties from the historical figure.
(EDIT - A Wiki search notes that it was indirectly named after Black Hawk. The name was derived from the first owner's machine gun division named in Black Hawk's honour...that is to say, "Black Hawk Division". Just some random information for those curious)
