Cleveland Guardians Mascot Logo - Vintage Chief Wahoo Design #3479952 (License: Personal Use)

This image depicts the controversial Chief Wahoo logo, a caricatured Native American mascot used by the Cleveland baseball franchise from 1947 until its retirement in 2018. The design features exaggerated facial features-including a large red face, wide eyes, and a broad grin-paired with a feathered headdress and a blue-and-white headband. Though widely recognized, it drew significant criticism for perpetuating harmful stereotypes, leading to its phased removal from uniforms and merchandise.

Used historically on team apparel, merchandise, stadium signage, and media assets; now primarily referenced in discussions about sports branding, cultural sensitivity, and historical team identity. Matches user intent for research, nostalgia, or educational content on sports logos and social change.
