As someone unfortunate enough to live in PA , this is just embarrassing kinda like how the Raiders play for the most part.
This small city has become increasingly multicultural over the 20 years I've lived here.
And as a person of colour (and immigrant albeit 40 some years ago) I am baffled by this decision to bring back the obviously offensive logo .
We just had a day of national recognition relating to truth and reconciliation ,and they do this .
The Edmonton Elks just changed their long standing name because of the offensive undertones to it .
It is as if they have no sense of decency at all WTF!

Herp da duhr dah. The WHL intercedes...I guess? I still have no idea how this made it out of preliminary discussion, let alone into production.

Aren’t you the same poster who thinks slapping a woman on the butt is okay?
Explains a lot.

It's a motorcycle, it can get over the trauma.

Or out of date racial caricatures that have long past time as acceptable imagery in 2021.
Don't kid yourself, the Raiders knew this and did it anyway.

Yup. All of the clueless racism, none of the edgy coolness.

I guess it’s not a crime if it happens in international waters

Offensive imagery aside, that has to be one of the worst logos I've ever seen.

Don't be a tool, way to take what I said out of context  , I didn't say it was ok to touch a girls butt, I said it wasn't sexual assault. groping or misconduct isn't ok either. Jesus!

Well of course I know the brand of the “most iconic motorcycle”. I’m trying to understand it’s relevance here.
If their logo was the same as the Cleveland Indians, it would have been changed as well.

Have you seen the old Moose Jaw Warriors Logo? It looks like it was drawn by a 4th grader.
When I was a kid I thought the Warriors and the Raiders were the same team because their logos were so amateur. And this is a cleaned up digital version. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saska...logo-1.5746576
