I've never heard it used in other sports, unless you count someone "belting a hit to left field down the foul line". I thought that was a banger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtails would allow them to keep their circle and feather, only replace the Indian head with probably a W or R. they really can’t keep any Native iconography at all, even if they’re now going to claim that it has a different meaning. And nobody’s claiming that we erase the past. We just can’t keep condoning that past as if it was somehow okay. 6 The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

No. “Red”? Why not? The color red by itself has nothing to do with Native Americans unless referring to their skin tone. Since this is clearly not the case anymore, and they are trying to remove that connection, why can’t they be named after the color they wear(and have worn for 90% of their history)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorinator Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I was scrolling through the Jags roster back in December and saw their CB Quenton Meeks was listed as #5. I'm sure he was just on the sidelines and not seeing in-game action but is this an example of a modern player who was allowed an out of position number?

Therefore the Lombardi R is still appropriate as it doesn't reference anything explicitly native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still derived from the older Native American head logos that Washington used. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
