now, i'm not saying that these encounters speak of all native peoples views on the matter, but in 20 years of doing work for native bands i've only met people that love the designs.

to add to my above quoted post - the blackhawks are a HUGE favourite of native teams. i've also done the redskins and atlanta braves logos for native teams.
i have a customer in winnipeg that does a ton of work with a number of native bands for "team wear" and again, pro sports logos using native imagery are still very very popular. lots of other team stuff that utilizes head dresses, dream catchers, etc.
these are not "my" opinions, but the opinions of the native sports teams ordering hats, toques, hoodies, jerseys, etc. they obviously like the logos becuz they get used by them a lot.
