Oh my... I know we've discussed the whole "native american" mascots thing and this particular instance for me falls under the "injins on the warpath!!" approach that I'm not sure is appropriate. And you're mixing hockey imagery with sacred imagery and it it's all very bad charicature feeling to me... I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with a Hawks sweater of this style.

Give back this chief his axe and let him express his feelings about this jersey!

Native americans have been massacred in a bloody genocide,survivors were put into cages,and they are proudly wear as logos on a jersey? And this particular logo just ridiculize them and their ceremonies,contrary to the Blackhawks one.

That's a shame!

On its own merits, not a badly designed jersey. However, the implication of the logo are not the greatest, obviously...

I agree that the design is pretty good if you just look this... But your second sentence is also pretty right...
