I think the new logo is slick. Fits the team name better.

Two white Jewish men – one from Latvia, one from Bavaria.
What, did you think there was no such thing as a white Jew?

Ya the 1871 Civil Rights Act and susbequent SCOTUS decisions such as Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb make it clear that in 1871 (when Davis created jeans) Jewish Americans were not considered white.

At that time, Irish-Americans (at least if Catholic) also were not considered white by a considerable number of people. So what? You're citing obviously stupid decisions made by obvious bigots. Why are you taking their side?
By way of contrast, in Latvia, where Davis was born, and Bavaria, where Strauss was born, Jews most definitely were considered white. They were not considered to be ethnic Latvians or Germans, that's all.
A final question: If Davis wasn't white, what colour was he?

I know this isn't First Nations imagery, but Prince Albert is getting roasted for bringing back their vintage logo.
How in the hell did they think this would go well?

Adding pressure to the head scratch is the fact they had to retire their mascot, based on the logo, not too long ago for being racially insensitive.

And that mascot was brand new. They retired him after only a week due to the controversy of being insanely racist.
Now they’ve come out with these jerseys.
This is not a coincidence. They knew exactly the response they’d get. How much you wanna bet the BOD for the team who voted on this did so while wearing MAGA hats, unvaccinated, while not wearing masks?

Not to mention how amateurish and poorly designed the logo is. There is no reason to put it out there other than to be provocative.
