Chief Wahoo Logo Discontinued - Official Ban and Historical Context #1196267 (License: Personal Use)

This image visually communicates the formal discontinuation of the controversial Chief Wahoo mascot logo formerly used by the Cleveland Guardians (previously Indians). The bold red circle with a diagonal slash universally signifies prohibition, underscoring the organization’s commitment to removing Native American caricatures from branding. The logo itself features the stylized red face, feathered headdress, and exaggerated grin that drew decades of criticism for stereotyping.

Used on news articles, team history pages, and diversity/inclusion resources to illustrate the 2018-2019 rebranding process; matches user intent seeking context on sports logo changes, Indigenous representation, or MLB policy updates.
